Spectrums

Q.1 Is it judgmental to think of women as being judgmental?
Most women have a harder time reconciling the grey areas in life than do men. They tend to have points of view that are clearly flagged in either end of any debatable spectrum. Especially on 'issues'. Child labour is either good or evil. Dams are either good or evil. Guys are either good or jerks. 'And' is never an option.
Men prefer to sit on the fence. Getting off takes too much effort. Choosing a side takes too much commitment.

Which begs the question...
Q.2 Is that why Greys are more popular with men than women?

Pondering this very question, a Swiss graphic design student has spent a rather lot of time analyzing the color palettes of 1500 photos from the Sartorialist. What he's basically creating is a database of clothing colors. A Dresstionary, if you will.

the answer to that is something you pretty well know but are probably afraid to say it in the open, and you're waiting for someone else to spell it out for you, but i won't
