to infect our sensual minds so powerfully

"The only way we find answers, is if we ask questions."

Why are blondes exalted ?! A fair question, I think. The exclamation point is necessary, because it conveys the incredulity I feel whenever I am reminded of this travesty. I don't like to overdo it, because what is the point of multiple, when you can get virtually the same point across with one ??!!!?!?!??!

Blondes. Let me explain what I mean. Somewhere along the course of history, the male population has made a mutual decision that blondes are inherently more beautiful, even sexier, than girls with another hair color. Perhaps this was a sympathy vote, to make up for all the blonde jokes guys have made all these years; but I would really be shocked if men could be that wise and kind-hearted.

Really, it is not merely that I am awestruck at how we could pass such a stereotype and allow it to infect our sensual minds so powerfully; though that is a tragedy, I have become used to stereotyping by now. I do not hold this view. I am instinctively against the flow. I typically do not like blondes. Yellow hair (or whitish .. even worse) is unattractive -- dare I say, a turn-off -- for me. Some nice, solid, genuine brown hair is far more preferable.

Sometimes I just don't get the world these days.
