At first I snickered as I thought it over. Then I howled with laughter. Like snorting and tears in my eyes laughing. Probably shouldn't have, but I did and its done now. I imagined my actions if I were fearful of ...oh, bald men. (Which is highly improbable as Vin Diesel is one of my FREE PASS men.) How would I behave differently? Jump out of the elevator when one gets in? Become paralyzed when one stands behind me in the checkout line? Vomit on my own lap each time one walks in the office door? Nah. Doubtful. But then again I can't imagne being fearful of an entire group of people. Maybe one certain really bad person, possibly 2...but not a whole group. Especially a group based on hair color!
So what is it about redheads that might make a person truly fearful of Gingers? Is it that we steal souls when we kiss regular humans? And turn into vampires after we die? Or is because of the claim that we have more sex than other folks with different hued hair? I can't imagine why amy of those things would strike fear into anyone's heart. I mean COME ON! Gingers need love, too. We just want to be accepted like every other faction. I'm thinking the existence of this word in our vernacular (Gingerphobia) is discriminatory. I beleive my fellow Gingers and I should unite in protest. GINGER POWER!
I'm kidding. I could care less if someone is scared of red-heads. Its all very comical to me. I was more amazed it was even an actual word - and an actual thing. Just means I may have to work harder for those souls I plan on stealing. HA!
