gender questions
Is there such a thing as a male brunette? Are only women brunettes? How odd... I feel like there must be this other species walking around among us: "the brunette menace".
A man can have blond hair -- but I don't think you'd say he IS a blonde ("Mark's a blonde") -- reducing his existence to hair. You might say he's a red-head, though. Are red-heads the most alien of the hair-people?
Is "brunette" the most feminizing hair color because it has the diminutive "ette" on the end?
...
Do boys start out loving dinosaurs, but then grow up to love robots? Are cars robots? Are soldiers robot dinosaurs?

i think you're right that only women can be brunettes. however, if you were so inclined (and i suspect not, in this case) you could use a masculinized version for men, e.g. " Check out that brune!" oh, hot and manly!
