It's not a construct. Girls generally like pink (and purple). Most girls start out liking those colors, then can shift to different ones in adulthood. When my daughter was a baby she was dressed in fairly neutral colored clothes like pale yellows and greens. Her room was not pink, it was actually mango orange. None of her toys were pink. Once she got a bit older she had a strong prefernce for pink/purple without it being forced on her. Also, she used to like princess everything, but now doesn't. They just go through phases, and I think people waste a tremendous amounts of time worrying about this crap. What young children really need is for parents to spend lots of time with them and give them lots of attention.
