calm down guys, it's not sexual, it's just funny. Some Gingers deserve to be insulted, and sometimes they insult themselves. No matter what you do, it's gonna happen. There's always gonna be the KKK killing black people and the Black Panthers killing white people. You don't here about ginger hate groups putting signs in their yards saying "I'm gonna burn your house to make it match your hair." Sticks and Stones guys, sticks and stones

I was just linked to this by a good friend of mine. He's been called a ginger often in his life, but doesn't actually consider himself red headed - I think its more of the complexion.

Anyways, I've always had an attraction for the 'ginger look.' I absolutely love the freckles and the hair. I never even knew the word ginger had a negative connotation. Sure, I've heard before that people have been unattracted to redheads, but I didn't realize any of these other insults were there with the term.

Anyways, I just used the term in a conversation (in reference to someone I found attractive, actually), and he got extremely offended. We got into an argument, which ended in a "fine you win" and a cold shoulder on his end. I really didn't mean anything to come with this, I just really didn't understand it and he seems to be very offended by my ignorance.

I've read this now, and I feel very bad for you and him and all people who have endured bullying. I can't really say I've experienced bullying for any of my physical qualities that I could not change, but dealt for years in high school with constant harassment for no reason other than I was apparently a good target, and it was horrible. I can't really imagine being unable to change myself and getting punishment for it.

I guess what I'm asking is how I can make up with him. He won't even talk with me yet I was supposed to see him for the first time in 7 weeks on Wednesday.

Madassa,

The flack you cope for "the contents of your knickers" as I think you put it another more recent article and "the colour of your pubes" IS sexual harassment! DO NOT PUT UP WITH IT!

I have no doubt that you have become victimised and bullied partly because or completely because of your redhair.

BUT...
Fight the harassment that you can first!

If you find that the sexual harassment your facing is played down, because of your hair colour... I think you'll find that if you keep pushing it will be taken higher and higher and it will be STOPPED!
