i am woman. hear me snore.

http://www.loserturdmafia.com/
i was a blonde from birth (1969)-2003.

34 long years of suffering stereotyping, unfunny “jokes”, career discrimination based on an assumed hair colour/lack of intelligence association, and the nickname “blondie”.

i recently dyed my hair dark reddish-purple. and it changed my life ...

... (yes, of course i find that hard to believe, too).

as a blonde facing the bog-standard male expectation of ditzy slash bubbly but brainless “barbie”, my tendency to speak my (quite scary) little mind (often at volume) earned me a reputation as being a formidable bitch.

as a redhead, whilst i do not deny that there is still the male “ideal” of the “fiery redhead” to be faced, this time i find it easy, even pleasurable, to adhere to.

there is a row of “blondes” getting their “regrowth done” that i glance at sometimes as i pass them; enclosed fishbowl-like in the steamy hairdressers’ window next to my grocer.

i view them with all the horror of a refugee from an unjust country watching women voluntarily go there with no idea of the horrors they will encounter.

so i wait until i’m safely back in the car before i laugh.

dan ... i myself am fond of the freudian theory that there is no such thing as a "joke", so technically this statement is correct ...

... which means, i guess, that i should rant at you in some type of feminist way or something for your "joke" about women. but i can't. i'm too well-adjusted. hehe. i think what you wrote was funny. ;). mig XX

i'm not usually one to stereotype, but my experience has led me to believe that it's the natural redheads that we have to worry about.

im fond of the freudian theory that you (women) resent men for our penises and are the inferior sex.

ahem. indeed. the penis envy theory. i would love to discount it, but in actual fact i have, on occasion, felt a genuine surge of envy over something which could be shot off like a bazooka. hehe. don't tell anyone.

imajinit, i hadn't heard this expression until a man yelled at me: "does the carpet match the curtains ?" out a car window. *shudder*. and for the record, no, i didn't. ;) mig XX

So, Michael, care to expand on that a little? What exactly do you have to worry about?

Ahem......my carpet and draperies are perfectly matched, thanks.

I get shouts of "red on the head, fire in the bed!" all the time. I tried being blonde for a bit (didn't like it), tried brunette (just looked dark red) then gave up the fight and let the red do it's thing.

so far, i have only encountered the car-window-yelling guy. i am new to red, so am yet to experience some of the more, err, interesting um, could you call them compliments ? ;)

Ahem. You have been reported to the proper authorities for your red-bashing insolence. Expect a visit from a club-wielding Danny Bonaduce shortly.
