I mean I guess it's implied that they probably wouldn't be okay with a husband who has a husband entering the paint store...

Lmao I would make that same assumption/bet
Idk why they wouldn’t approve tho; because lgbt guy would be bad at colours (NOPE, I’ve seen lgbt men dress themselves and on average they are way more colour savvy than some women but also most straight men)
I bet they’d have a nice house lol. Colour wise

I'm willing to give the store the benefit of the doubt and say that they put the rule after having too many instances of husbands returning/ exchanging paints because their wife didn't like it.
Still sexist, though.

Believe it or not, but there is some truth to "men don't know colors." You see, the gene that allows people to see red only exists in the X chromosome. So amabs without trained eyes are able to see reds less easily.

fuck did one guy do?

Dude it’s true sometimes my partner sucks at colours but that’s just one individual I can’t assume how that crosses gender lines and overgeneralize based on anecdote that would be irresponsible And stupid
That said we do buy a ton of makeup and clothes and study colours as a part of fashion at times. After 10k on makeup ya I know colours pretty well, not to mention 20 years studying fashion and a fine art degree. Useless degree. BSc and ma were way more useful in sciences, lol. But I still have it so there you go.
Some men are great with colour; seen drag race?! They put my colour knowledge to shame sometimes
All anecdotal evidence and a thought process though. Literally not going to bother citing a scholarly journal article cause I am 99% sure what it would say, and I am 1% lazy. But by all means someone else can just Google it to find the accuracy. I’m just making an educated guess I won’t share here - since it’s still technically opinion til I look up academic sources and I don’t like to spread Bs... - based on everything I know about psychology and biology.

This is somewhat ironic given many contractors won't work on your house without a husband giving the o-k
Surely lesbians must short circuit these people
Lmao husband. The idea that my male partner would balance our check book is hilarious to me. But like all couples it depends where ur strengths lie. I wouldn’t say only men or only women do any of these things & assuming they do is quite inflexible in terms of thought process.
Also I’m bi so that partner Could BE a woman and then what lol!
Misogynistic contractors HATE this!! :)
Or gays Or singles Or genderqueer
