    Why doesn’t the writer of the comic just have him put on a dress and play with a Barbie? Since that’s basically what the joke is. Maybe it’s just me but this one’s fuckin dumb.

      Women have more ability to perceive colors due to physical differences. Link

      Edit: guys the image is to give you an idea of what it’s like. Read the article. There is an actual observed, measurable statistically significant difference in color perception.

        That’s just saying colorblindness is more common in men, and tetrachromacy is more common in (maybe exclusive to?) women. It’s still really rare tho (estimated 2-3% in that link)

        speaking of tetrachromacy, listen to the Polygondwanaland album by King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard

          Exclusive to women, as it’s a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.

          There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.

        This is utter bollocks. The implication here is that I shouldn’t physically be able to tell the difference between any of the colours in each group

        I don’t think anyone without color blindness would say any two colors on that drawing are the same color.

          Show, don’t tell. The author also broke that rule in Panel 5 with “sex change occurs sounds” written off to the side. We see the 𝓶𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬 𝓫𝓾𝓫𝓫𝓵𝓮. Clearly, that means the sex change occurred in the context of the setup. We get it, dude.

        Whenever I see that graphic I have to think about all the male painters who apparently can’t tell Phthalo blue from Prussian or Ultramarine
