“Many are bullied at school and for some, even later in life.Īs far as I can see, no one has focused (or noticed) the huge, polarised gap between the way our society perceives red-headed women (often the ultimate woman – think Jessica Rabbit) and red-headed males (often emasculated and de-sexualised in film and TV – no Hollywood heroes – no leading men). “In the UK and throughout the world, being ginger and male comes with many stigmas attached,” he explains. By placing ginger guys in this positive light, Thomas hopes to reinvent the stereotype surrounding red-headed men. Thomas Knights has put together a fantastic film and photo exhibition called ‘RED HOT’, showcasing the attractiveness of red-haired men.
