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

That's about as sexist a comment as I have ever read, almost as bad as the late Barbara Jordan's "men lack the ability for compassion" comment.

Imagine if a man had said something that dumb about women, the feminists would be all over his case.

I agree. In fact, in some cases you’d want to shoot at lighter-colored objects; deer and elk are lighter brown or orange-ish and stand out against the forest.

And what do they mean “spot something dark and shoot at it”? That’s a rather general statement. Are they gonna shoot at a tree? A rock? Those are relatively dark objects. Sheesh Hurlbert needs to get a clue.

You don’t think the “looking at red fruits” thing was dumb (and hence, I guess, sexist)?

I will say this is a dumb statement. I have no clue that because something that men shoot (or rather, THROW) at is “dark”, that men would like “blue”. They at least explained the specifics of pink - sort of, without saying something dumb like “women looked for “light” objects.
