> Color blindness in men is about 1 in 1 vs 1 in 200 for women.

I assume you meant "1 in 12" for men, otherwise it seems too much.

I wonder whether mentioning this fact is considered okay simply because the result is worse for men. If there is a parallel reality where 1 in 12 women and only 1 in 200 men are colorblind, mentioning this would probably get you in some trouble.

This is probably the point I would have wanted to make, had I realized it :)
