Women See Things Differently From Men (More Proof!)

We all know there are some serious differences in the way men and women mentally process information, but the news that women can actually see more COLORS than men is, well, new to me…
The normal human retina’s color receptors are tuned to green, blue, and red. Working together, the three give us our colorful view of the world. When one or more of those color receptors is missing the result is color-blindness. The genes for our red and green color receptors are located on the X-chromosome, giving women a redundant set of receptor genes. This is why men are far more prone to color-blindness than women. In order to be functionally color-blind a woman not only has to be missing a receptor gene on both X-chromosomes, it must be the same gene on each one. The chances of this happening are so slim that only 0.4% of the US female population is affected. By contrast male color-blindness is far more prevalent with 8% of the US male population affected – 95% of them with red or green receptor problems. Color-blindness makes it difficult or impossible to distinguish some colors, depending on which receptor is affected. The term color-blindness itself is somewhat of a misnomer, since color perception is altered, not eliminated. True color-blindness, wherein a person can distinguish no color at all, requires a malfunction of all three kinds of color receptors, and affects only 0.003% of the population regardless of gender.
I wonder if the fact that women are so much more receptive to different colors than men is one of the reasons why peacocking is so effective?
Thats why in Islam women are discouraged from performing roles “nature” intended for men , like leadership, soldiership etc.etc..yet the “civilised” word now is coming to full circle not quite..but getting there with a plethora of self help books coming out on how to “celebrate” the differance rather than vie for cross gender roles. Lol, as I said before, Read Quran if you wanna live your ife as “nature” intended. As it is. the human mind is not capable to understand reasons behind the wisdom of Quranic laws but with time people are learning, slowly but surely. the rights of the wives are equal to the [husbands'] rights with regard to them, although men have precedence over them (Quran 2:228)
marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four (quran 4:3)
