Green <80 = red-orange -> red (#ff0000)
Green >80 = yellow-orange -> yellow (#ffff00)
That's why we have more colour names, than just red and orange 😉
Well, Except this is not the same. You express Color with a clear definition of what's red and what's orange. And we thinked it was useful to add more colour name in between and present the center to be the source of a dichotomy.
First we could discuss about the color definition and the limits of the three color model but that's not our concern 😉 And colors are far from a dichotomy. What happens with the blue?
The definition of dichotomy is "division into two parts or classifications, esp when they are sharply distinguished or opposed". If you adopt the RGB color scheme, you can mathematically define what's R and G, and then, defining a dichotomy with the center point. But without it, you are lost since the distinction is not clear for the eye. So the distinction is not sharp.
If I give you a color near the center of red-orange, you wouldn't know without comparison which it should be expect by looking at the numbers and saying, this one is nearer of #ff0000 than #ff8000. Which mathematically could be expressed red < (#ff0000 + #ff8000)/2 < Orange. But this dichotomy is defined by the goals and not a threshold.
From the @
princesitanatty definition :
princesitanatty Wrote: Quote:A dichotomy is a partition of a whole (or a set) into two parts (subsets). In other words, this couple of parts must be
jointly exhaustive: everything must belong to one part or the other, and
mutually exclusive: nothing can belong simultaneously to both parts.
This could not be defined by the goals but by the threshold. A dichotomy would be more "Everything with a red component is red, the rest is not".
The point and I think it's in a way what's @
princesitanatty say (we'll know 😉 ) is that we should define the ending colour (aka feminity and masculinity) but not the threshold. If you take the Heterosexuality prism, you'll of course have a clear dichotomy since heterosexuality is based on the sexual dichotomy and "improves"/"clarify" it. So, if you want gender to be dichotomical, you have to define something like (a rough false example) "Every body with a penis is masculine, the rest is not". But sexuality is defined by goals, more like "Every body with a penis is male, Everybody with a vagina is female". And then we try to play with the "in-between's" to make them match a dichotomy which is not defined correctly.
