I keep hearing this annoying thing. And it's something that I used to do myself. I keep hearing women play up to the 'dumb blonde' thing. Which makes me want to scream. "Oh no, I wouldn't understand, i'm just silly dumb blonde." SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
Women who do this, are actually anything but dumb. Really. And most people realise this. But for some reason, women play up to this like it makes them cuter, more feminine and somehow more attractive. Women making themselves look weaker than they really are isn't attractive. Not at all, and I'd be worried about any man who *did* find this attractive. But why do woman fall back on this?
When did we stop wanting to be strong? I know that I still do it sometimes. At work, when I can't do geeky clever things. I like the guys in my office and sometimes it's nice to be 'rescued'... shit even writing that makes me feel like a twat. I guess when I can't do something, I fall back into this. When I'm feeling unconfident, I make myself smaller. Well what's the point in that? Surely it's better for everyone if I'm not an annoying whiney girl? And when I do suck it up and try to do something that confuses me, I usually can. Even if it takes a while longer.
I'm blonde, and sometimes I say really stupid things. But I'm by no means a dumb blonde. I don't often meet stupid women to be honest. The only stupid thing these women do, is dumb down to make themsleves more attractive.
