Myths About Redheads You Always Thought Were True
Like stereotypes about any group of people, it should come as no surprise that many of the weird rumors and legends about redheads aren't always true. These are just some of the most popular ginger myths and why they just don't hold any water.
Surely you've heard the myth that all redheads have not just a short fuse but also a fiery temper. Or perhaps you think that they tend to be bolder and brasher in general and are quick to act on their impulses. After all, the color red is often associated with strong emotions like passion hence the red boxes of candy that litter the shelves every Valentine's Day.
But the reality is that redheads are inherently no more prone to explosive anger or even curt crankiness than anyone else. They are unfortunately more susceptible than others to being bullied, according to the BBC, so perhaps there's some psychology at work that reinforces the stereotype constant bullying certainly can have an impact on victims.
But there are some other interesting factors at work here. Redheads do produce more adrenaline than others, according to Red: A History of the Redhead by Jacky Colliss Harvey, which means they, quote, "fire up more rapidly than others."
If gingers are more prone to possessing a fiery temper, as the stereotype suggests, they must also be a hot mess in emergency situations right? All of that adrenaline rushing in will no doubt make them lose their minds and start freaking out about the situation as opposed to keeping calm and getting through it.
Actually, that couldn't be further from the truth. That's because not only do gingers produce more adrenaline in general, but they also can access it faster than blondes or brunettes, according to Red: A History of the Redhead. And because they can synthesize the hormone more quickly, that makes them more adept in fight-or-flight scenarios. So they'd definitely have a head start while being chased by a bear or getting away from some bad dudes while you straggle behind them.
So when you're assembling your survival squad for the zombie apocalypse, be sure to include a ginger or two, they just might save your life!
