if the results were in favor of men this story and even the paper itself wouldn't have been published and probably the researcher would have lost his/her job too but now my comment is the one that is going to be buried. That's the world we're living in right now. The truth is considered one only if it fits the liberals, otherwise it is everything from Nazism, racism to the Russians.

Sir this is an Arby's.

You sound a little angry.

He's taking it too far but yes, in this sense there is "oddly" no sex egalitarianist asking for a way to compensate men for a so-called women privilege or to level everyone down.

Generally all common kinds of colorblindness are considered in accessibility. We are expected to accommodate to this mostly male problem. Using primary colors and strong color contrasts is the normal way of doing things, using subtle shades that color blind men dont see is considered bad thing.

With exception of electrotechnic which is historically male dominated and uses ridiculous color system that ignores the issue entirely. Dunno why. I am all for changing that.

What do you mean? Colors in EE documents are generally pretty irrelevant.

I'm guessing it's a reference to resistor color codes.

Color codes on resistors. The worst part is brown, red and orange. I am good at distinguishing colors (was tested no issue) and sometimes it was quite difficult.

Fair enough. These are obsolete for SMD and precision components, though.

I am not, that's just how things are these days. And if you're talking in a condescending way to me as if I am the angry white male, I assure you I am not white and not even a Western man and never been to the west.
