There ought to be something we can all do about that, don't you think?

I guess it like can't be something that's like violent huh? Like hitting or slapping?

And like, hey, at least you didn't have to deal with like dumb blond jokes.

[shadeof_grey]

There are some good sterotypes mixed in with the bad ones, for blondes.

You have more fun.

Did you know redheads are more resistant to anesthesia, and require fewer painkillers?

[skids_sally]

So what happens if you dye your hair like I do. Cause naturally I'm blonde but I hate it so I dye it red...

Really? I wonder why that is.

[shadeof_grey]

Why would I dye my hair?

Genetics, I guess.

[fever_crusade]

I can relate!

[shadeof_grey]

Redhead power!

[fever_crusade]

Here, here!

Not that there is any truth to the temper thing at all.

I heard pretty much the same thing growing up.

[shadeof_grey]

You don't have a temper?

[oracle_bop]

Well, there has to be some truth to the stereotypes.

Green Arrow would agree with the temper thing, anyway.

[shadeof_grey]

That Robin Hood guy?

What did you do to him?

[shadeof_grey]

Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

There's nothing wrong with your hair.

[erikscordelia]

[shadeof_grey]

Nothing.

Oops.

It's just, look -- do you remember Anne of Green Gables?

[gartersandstars]

Oddly enough, there are no stereotypes associated with those whose tresses are more azure in color.

Perhaps you should try something radical for a week or so. There are temporary dyes. Monitor the reactions of those around you. You're in a far better position to do such monitoring than most.

[shadeof_grey]

What would I be monitoring for?

Also, my hair's dark and I'd have to bleach it first, even to use a temporary dye and there is just so much of it! Hair, I mean.

I don't think I could risk it.

[gartersandstars]

Thoughts that match stereotypes.

Could you rearrange the pigment molecules?

[shadeof_grey]

Now I feel stupid.
