I'm a biologist with a PhD in biophysics and work in optics, you don't need to explain the biology.
My complaint was with the way it was said, it looks immature and promoting stereotypes about color perception in daily life.
With the exception of color blindness, the difference in perception between women and men is much smaller than the variation across all humans. There are many things where we can measure a difference that is "significant" but in reality, insignificant (IE, passes a t-test with bonferroni or other multiple tests correction, but doesn't matter in any way at all during life).
Much more interesting than "seeing"/"perceiving" colors that most humans don't (example: tetrachromancy) is seeing polarization. I can see polarization but it was self-taught (see the page on Haidinger's brush and then go outside and look at the sky with polarized glasses on/off.... after a bit, you will realize you actualyl can "see" the polarization.
