7 favourite takedowns of the guy who mansplained why women shouldn’t dye their hair
Spare a thought for a chap called Alexander Cortes, who describes himself as a ‘trainer, writer, speaker’ who also writes the ‘most toxically awesome newsletter in existence’.
Sounds great. Anyway, we only mention him after he said this on Twitter, to women who might be thinking about dyeing their hair.
Unnatural hair colors in woman are a warning signal to stay away,
Its an example Aposematism-the phenomenon of poisonous animals in nature advertising their toxicity and lethality

And there was more. Unfortunately.
Animals like Poison arrow frogs, venomous snakes, they have bright colors and it lets other animals know to stay away from messing with them
When you see a woman with red blue green purple rainbow hair, its a sign of mental illness and derangement

Think of Harley Quinn

Which you can guarantee she’ll have a therapist and multiple psychiatric drug prescriptions
Again, see Harley Quinn example

and When a seemingly stable female suddenly dies her hair crazy colors,

I expect the Toxic Thottery to come out in full force for this one.

Be honest dude: the replies in this thread are the most attention you’ve had from women since the judge told you to stay at least 50 feet away from Hot Topic, isn’t it?

To conclude …
Congratulations, you are the 1,000,000th guy to uncritically present this load of garbage like it's 1) true and 2) an original thought.
To claim your prize, please stay away.
