Except they didn't used to. It's an entirely modern conceit, yet we have expert after expert telling us why it's so natural that girls want pink, soft, fluffy and passive and boys want red and black, hard edged and active.

Overall I agree with your points, but you're just making this stuff up here at the end. I've never thought it was natural for girls to love pink, and I've heard more girls say they hate pink than say they like it. I've also never heard any "expert" tell anyone that girls naturally want pink. Which experts are you talking about anyway?
