My theroy is that since decorating is seen as a feminine thing (which is silly) a lot of men will play dumb about color differences to not appear girly. It easy enough to say it doesn't matter and not care. But those two shades are super close, but they are different. Every time I've had a guy blow something like this off, I was able to drill them down in to admitting that they do see a difference.
It's not exactly weaponized incompetence but more like learned protective responses effects of toxic masculinity.
Ever heard of chromosomes? Girls see colors more vibrantly BECAUSE they have X X pair which helps in color perception and distinction. But yeah if you want to blame this on "toxic masculinity", go ahead.
Thanks for the information! and sorry about not being knowledgeable enough in my previous comment
Imma need more than a "trust me bro" on this.
Ha! I almost put that info in my post. But, also you got the fact wrong.
No XX people don't see more color vibrantly, but XY are indeed more likely to be color blind. But honestly the rate at which XY chromosome men are more color blind is nowhere near the amount of guys that can't tell the difference between colors. Absolutely more men are red-green colorblind due to heredity, but that doesn't explain why the majority of men claim to not be able to see the difference between all sorts of different color sets that are similar.
I mean come on, stop and think why this even got posted. It's a well known trope that isn't explained by a few % more XY people being colorblind.
Thanks for the clarification! but yeah honestly every girl I know is way better at differentiating color than I am, while I am good at it, from my experience girls have been better at that
Thats a cool and valid anecdote! I, myself, am AMAB and can differentiate between colors super well. Hopefully my anecdote can help balance our your a bit ^-^
No. It’s not guaranteed that females can see more colors. It’s almost impossible for males to do so (XXY chromosome grouping, which is also rare), but it’s also fairly rare for women to be able to see more colors. Females can also be colorblind, but it’s very rare: both X chromosomes you get from your parents must carry the deficient gene.
