I am weighing my hair color options. I have gone grey, though I actually hoped I would be white by now (so that I could add a streak of color). I wanted the experience of being the real me. What I have learned, however, is that being a gray-haired female in this culture makes me invisible. I am old enough that I no longer expect me to wink at me or attempt to catch my eye. But I am finding that mature men ignore me in meetings in ways they never did before - even when I was old but still blonde they let me speak more than three words before interrupting. Now they look right through me and talk right over me. I feel erased. So do I poison myself again with harsh chemicals? And, if so, do I go back blonde or pick something more exotic? Would fire engine red give me a voice even if it is one that says STFU?
