How many blondes does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two, one to hold the light bulb and one to spin the ladder.
Everyone knows that blondes are dumb. They're always being silly and love having a good time. They don't take life too seriously and are always up for a laugh. They're never ambitious. But hey, at least they're always up for a party. Everyone knows they have more fun.
But they're not actually funny. Or sporty. They don't achieve big things. So, if you tell a blonde joke you might have to repeat it. But they'll always get there in the end, well most of them will. When you tell a young girl she is dumb, she grows up believing she is. This is a cruel reality that many blondes face today. Hundreds of movies, tv shows and books all have a dumb blonde character in them making young blonde girls grow up in a society telling them that they are dumb. Blonde jokes also add to this. They are derogatory, insulting and wrong. They depict blonde women as less intelligent and very reliable on others. Blondes are always getting picked on because of this, I am here to convince you otherwise!
Why do blonde hair teachers smile during lightning storms?
They think their picture is being taken.
Did you know blonde haired women are more aggressive and determined to get their own way. This is probably due to blonde discrimination in workplaces. Studies show blonde haired women have to work harder at the start of a new job to prove themselves and show that they are actually
Cosmetologists have to strive to make clients happy by giving them their wanted look, making sure the client feels like it’s their go to salon. Prices range from $40 per hour to $26,400 a year. The prices will rise depending on what style the customer wants. For better customer service, one would need to work in a clean environment, in a safe neighborhood where clients can come and have a satisfying time. To get the job they will need to be licensed by the state, a high school diploma, and enrolled in a cosmetology school. A student enrolled in these schools can apply for federal and state financial aid. Federal and state grant programs are offered to eligible students and must be 16 years of age. The highest paid earned more than $41,490 yearly to $12.72 per hour. Cosmetology is a field focused on the treatment of hair, skin, and nails that appeals to people’s creativity and specializes in cutting, styling, and applying chemical perms and color treatments. In a few years cosmetologists can become their own bosses by being independent and one stylist said that “Cosmetology is about bringing out the best in everyone.” Which means that the stylist can have fun doing what they love every day for a future career or part time job in the next few years.
On screen, Vergara's hair color appears to be natural, so you would never even know that she is a natural blonde. She began
A misconception would be that blondes are airheaded and may even speak with the ‘valley girl’ accent. Unlike a stereotype, there is no basis, or truth, for this belief. It had come to existence through cheesey movies, which is where many stereotypes and misconceptions
One good stereotype that shows up often is the narrow-minded blonde that only cares about fashion. The best example of this is Emma Ross, from Bunk'd. She dosen't understand many simple concepts, but is very knowledgeable in fashion. Next, we the Sharpettes. They only care about fashion, and therefore perfectly fit the stereotype. Lastly, we have Liv Rooney from Liv and Maddie. Maddie has an astute eye for fashion,but is very narrow-minded, and only cares about fashion. However, in one episode, they show her not as dimwitted, but as a robotics whiz, so she does have a knack for robots like her two brothers, but still has no care for robots.
The redhead stereotypes make me laugh. Obviously the one about us not having a soul, that we supposedly have a fiery temper, that we can’t get tan. In the wise words of James
The Blonde Bimbo. Long or fluffy hair, revealing clothes. Sometimes dumb, not able to use machines, dependant on her man, not able to do anything, can't control her emotions over men. When I watched the TV to find some examples of stereotypes, the first thing I saw was a trailer for a documentary about David Bailey.
“Being yourself never goes out of style.” The average person would think that some world changing person said this but nope. Elle Woods said this. Elle Woods as in “Woods comma Elle”, the main character in the movie Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde is my all-time favorite movie. Actually, every day I strive to Elle Woods. She is basically my role model in life. This may seem silly, but really behind all the pink, Elle Woods is actually a character that may people should take notes from. The Elle Woods, in the movie “Legally Blonde”, is so appealing to me because it she shows that women do not have to follow stereotypes and can do and be whatever they want; every woman should have the blonde ambition and independence that Elle Woods has.
What is a stereotype? In my definition it can be a term used to classify an object or thing, maybe even a person. A stereotype can be a person who has little knowledge of something or none at all. There are a lot of different stereotypes out there. For example, “White men can’t jump” is one used in sports such as basketball. This can be a stereotype to people who have never witnessed a white man dunk a basketball. Larry Bird was arguably one of the best basketball players in the history of the NBA with many awards and achievements to prove it. He was indeed a white man therefore, counterpointing the stereotypical phrase, “white men can't jump.” Just like this one, there are many stereotypes out there with a broad range of phrases or
Karen is not the only one who has very little power over who she will become. In “Blonde”, Jean also has very little power over her life. Jean so desperately wants to be blonde. She even studies her friend, who is blonde, so she can “act” like a blonde. Her fascination of being blonde does not stop there. Jean explains, “That the dazzling blonde I was could be undercovered by a surgeon’s blade... [That underneath my skin] was a girl of pure gold, Goldilocks or Shirley Temple, Even, one day perhaps, Marilyn Monroe”(1-2). This implies that Jean knows the famous blonde celebrities and wants to be like them.
Finally, Lynn Peril concludes that nowadays, even though those stereotypes have become lighter and less severe, the long and profound development of pink think makes it be extremely hard to alter and modify, especially in human’s awareness and posture.
One of the fundamental themes in Legally Blonde is that a female having an ardor for fashion does not make her dim-witted and that fashion insight is not an immanently futile form of knowledge. Elle’s fashion knowledge is introduced when a retailer labels her as “a dumb blonde,” and tries to take advantage of her by ripping off the last season sale tag and selling it to her for full price. “Did you see this one? We just got it in yesterday.” the retailer told her. Slyly, she asks “Is this a low-viscosity rayon with half-loop top-stitching on the hem?.” “Why yes, it’s one of a kind,” the retailer replied. Elle uses her fashion knowledge and wittily replies “It's impossible to use a half-loop topstitch on low-viscosity rayon.
Smart or dumb, white or black, short or tall, jock or a nerd; These are some assumptions society has come up with. Stereotypes exists in one way or another all around the world, from social class to careers to hair color. The world we live in today has so many stereotypes and misconception regardless of the fact not knowing that person. Our society has grouped individuals based on what they see on the outside and not what’s on the inside. Stereotypes were made so that individuals do not have to take time to get to know someone instead they can judge and get to know them based on what they hear about that particular group. Stereotypes are extended to a point where they become unreal, but no matter how far a stereotype has been taken, the
Even though most scoff at the idea of Elle Woods providing someone with the ability to embrace the power they have in themselves, I choose to look past the scoffs and judgmental eyes and find the positive side to the corny story. Thinking back to this performance, I still thank my mother for taking me to see Legally Blonde. Because of the opportunity to bond with Elle Woods’ story, my life changed for the better, for good. My connection
The struggle for equality has been intense, and still continues to this day. With this being said, much progress has been made in establishing respect and external acceptance for all individuals sense of identity. For example, in 2015 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Same Sex Marriages, marking a pivotal point in the civil rights movement for the LGBTQ community. For many, this act helped to support their sense of self, a right that been denied for so long. The United States effectively validated the LGBTQ community, giving this group all rights granted to all other citizen’s, However, the creation and acceptance of this community has not had positive benefits for all members. The Gender Binary has been changed, but many distinctions
Dumb blonde, politicians are bad, women are weak, all men are unclean and untidy. These sayings are all stereotypes that are very common and referred to almost daily. People form judgments and place others into categories without a second thought because it’s become so prevalent in the modern world. Why people stereotype is not necessarily a mystery, for there are many reasons, there are also many negatives aspects about stereotypes. Fortunately there are ways to fight against and prevent stereotyping.
