    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.

      It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don’t get it.

      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.

            XXY males are around 0.2% of males, so about 7 million people, and tetrachromacy is anywhere from 15 to 50% of women, so we would expect 1 to 4 million tetrachromat XXY males

              The 15-50% is apprently women who have some sensitivity to different color bands, but not full terrachromacy. That condition has only been identified once according to wikipedia. Id expect in men with XXY chromosomes, for it to still be stunningly rare, if even present at all.

              Its fully possible that the above sum is the number of men with some enhanced color depth, but even then in a population of 4 billion, 1-4 million is a very small number.

                I have this, I am pretty sure. I had a job reviewing aerial imagery and in my first week I found camera defects in some new imagery we got in, that apparently no one else saw for years, passed through dozens of eyes. It was extremely obvious to me. Needless to say, they kept me and put me on the experimental team. 😅 I have always been really good with colours.

        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

          Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can’t see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they’re next to each other, they’re just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.

          It’s also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there’s no notable difference.

        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.

    Unfortunately, I suspect the creators intent is to not normalize transgender in nature, but simple to get a cheap laugh at the expense of traditional gender roles.

    Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I’m not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.

    anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.
