I haven't been to this board in days, but I thought of you yesterday when I went to another board and there was a whole thread of blonde jokes. Although we've never discussed it that I recall, I somehow knew you'd share my disdain for them.
It's hard to believe someone would call you such a thing! Sometimes I think e-mail is too easy a form of communication; too many people say things they would never say to your face and just press "send" without considering their words.
M...I never have understood women who allow themselves to be made fun of...I never will.
Blonde jokes are the last form of acceptable prejudice. Try telling an ethnic joke on ivillage.
Suggesting a woman is less than intelligent because of the color of her hair is no different than suggesting a man is dumb because of the color of his skin. We all know the gross misconception in that line of thinking. Not only is that statement untrue but it is unbelievably insulting.
Yet some allow it, perpetuate it and some sadly still laugh.
Of course I do smile occasionally when I hear a blonde joke...I smile at the poor sod who doesn't know dumb they really
