I wouldn't say it's sexist, but as it's pointed out from what MD posted... it is a fairly arbitrary assignment, despite the reasons one could come up for them being assigned to a gender. It's largely cultural, as colors as we know them are just designations that we came up with for gradients in the visible light spectrum. For instance, there are some cultures that aren't taught to distinguish pink from red. To them, pink is just a lighter shade of red. There was this other culture, where they had names for two different types of blue. To them, they were two distinct colors, much like how red and pink are to us.
Eh, I think what you're seeing isn't a push towards androgyny and the complete dissolution of gender, but more of an acceptance of difference rather than the traditional vilification. That's not going to turn the world into a sterile wasteland without individuality. In fact, I'd say the ability of a person to choose that for themself without fear of harm promotes individuality far more than a society that strictly enforces gender roles on the sexes.
