Nem sempre foi assim.
No século XIX era o contrário .Rosa para meninos e azul para meninas.
Na Bélgica ainda é assim.

Blue
Blue was used for boys' charity school uniforms in the 17th Century. This was not because blue had any special significance, but in part because blue dyes, relatively easy to produce, were inexpensive. The Blue Coat schools are renowed to this day. Blue at times has been widely worn by girls. Some considered it more suitable for girls as it is a softer, more subdued color. Blue is also the color most associated with the Virgin Mary. In the Middles Ages, blue was often associated with true lovers and faithful servants. At the turn of the 19th Cenntury, blue was the preferred color for girls' waistbands on white Empire dresses.
Pink
HBC has noted pink used for children's clothes as early as the 18th century. We do not, however, yet fully understand the gender connotations. We have noted pink use in paintings and variety of observations. At one point pink was considered more of a boy's color, as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was morefor girls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected its use for boys. An American newspaper in 1914 advised mothers, "If you like the color note on the little one's garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention." [The Sunday Sentinal, March 29, 1914.] A woman's magazine in 1918 informed mothers, "There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is pertier for the girl." [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918] This undoubteldy strikes modern readers as very surprising indeed. Some sources suggest it was not until the 1940s that the modern gender associations with color became universally accepted.

Esse tipo de "machismo" ou de diferenciação dos sexos vem de tempos atras.
Sendo verdadeira ou não a tese do Dan Brown em o Código Da Vinci, eu creio nela. Tudo não passa de simples simbologias que a sociedade aderiu e até tranformou com o passar dos tempos.

A cor vermelha, cor do sangue e do coração, foi associada históricamente às emoções. E as mulheres são notóriamente mais emotivas do que os homens... E, além do mais, os pigmentos vermelho e azul foram os primeiros a serem desenvolvidos, em roupas. Assim, cores vermelhas (na verdade os tecidos ficavam rosados. O vermelho vivo foi difícil de conseguir) foram mais facilmente associados às mulheres.

Isso foi imposto na sociedade a muito tempo, assim como garotos brincam de carrinho e garotas de boneca. É um padrão social já muito antigo, não sei informar de quando se iniciou.
