Boys like blue, girls like pink and there isn't much anybody can do about it, researchers said on Monday in one of the first studies to show scientifically that there are gender-based color preferences.
Researchers said these differences may have a basis in evolution in which females developed a preference for reddish colors associated with riper fruit and healthier faces.

"We speculate that this sex difference arose from sex-specific functional specialization in the evolutionary division of labor," she wrote in Current Biology. "There are biological reasons for liking reddish things."
...
"Women have a very clear pattern. It's low in the yellow and green regions and rises to a peak in the purplish to reddish region," she said.

For men, thinking about colors was less important because as hunters they just needed to spot something dark and shoot it, Hurlbert said.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
“For men, thinking about colors was less important because as hunters they just needed to spot something dark and shoot it, Hurlbert said.”
That WOULD be hilarious if the guy who said it hadn’t actually believed it. Now it’s just sad.
Be advised that todays politically correct terminology is gay homosexual. :>)
We can only hope that millions of taxpayer dollars were spent studying this.
Did they survey Rosie O’Donnell, Martina Navratilova, or K.D. Lang?
Didn’t feminists say that there are no biological differences between men and women, with the possible exception of between the legs differences?
The term homosexual is considered insulting by some, because it is a sterile clinical term. That term focuses only on certain behavior and not the whole person, so some in that community don’t like that term anymore.
“Didn’t feminists say that there are no biological differences between men and women, with the possible exception of between the legs differences?”
And that’s nothing a little tax-payer funded surgery won’t fix.
“The term homosexual is considered insulting by some, because it is a sterile clinical term.”
If one is offended by “sterile, clinical terms”, there is NOTHING that won’t offend them.

I think “fags” or a longer version of that is acceptable, also. Or, wait, do I have that backwards...
Actually it's a woman—“Anya Hurlbert”—who wrote the report. I think she was grasping for a reason why her husband would rather chew glass than go with her to pick out just the right shade of off-white for the dining room trim.
(Oops, I slipped into gender-based stereotyping again! ;-)
Queers corrupt anything they touch!
Oh I’m sure they like pink, too.
Hmm, I sense a large government grant: Gender Preference and its Effect on Chromatic Preferences.
(Unfortunately, probably not “:-)”.)
Evolution can explain color preferences, too? *Roll eyes*
Is there ANYTHING it can’t do?
NAG’s feminazi’s aren’t going to like this!
