It is an issue with parental pride. When my girl was mistaken for a boy because she was wearing green that day, and I was asked how old "he" was, (four mo.) I was offended as a father because psychologically I know that my little girl is "beautiful" and has a "female" complexion that is soft and smooth, not boy-looking and rough. Does that properly explain the mindset?
