The article suggesting that natural blondes are being outcompeted by bottle blondes and thus are going to be disappearing from the breeding population (because, you see, men really prefer bottle blondes and women have no volition in theories like this) was bad enough on the irritating pseudoscientific drivel front.
The reply comment saying that "recessive" is not a random designator, but in fact means "disappearing from the population" makes me want to bang-head-on-wall-a-lot. Alleles, people, alleles!
Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Why is it my lot in life to exasperatedly explain basic genetics to people on usenet?

Some people are just stupid.
A lot of people in the world today don't know HOW to think, it isn't a subject taught in the schools in any real degree. (I learned this the hard way by not being an AP kinda guy.) Most people learn to accept what gets told to them without thinking critically at all, without asking questions. And they accept it, because it's HARD for them to do anything else. Their mental muscles have atrophied from lack of use.
