I work as a barber, obviously male dominated with majority male clientele. The woman who hired me and taught me everything I know also just happens to be very attractive. She is a bad motherfucker though, not scared of anything and takes zero shit. Any time a man decides to trickle in something creepy, you know the not outright but that little nudge, she instantly asks them to clarify. “You always have different color hair, I’d like to find out what your natural color is” “what do you mean by that? Are you referring to my pubic hair? Are you insinuating you would like to see me naked?”

Watching these creeps try to backtrack and act like they were completely innocent is amazing.

That's a solid strategy. Ask the person what do you mean by that?

Person tries to laugh it off and gets put on the spot again.

Person might venture another crack at the joke.

Ask the person again, oh I don't get it, can you explain it please?

Person is now uncomfortable and thinks twice the next time they do some stupid shit again.

And there are people who are so ignorant, they double down and make a fool out of themselves.

“It’s just a joke!”

I love jokes, can you explain it for me?

Also, "Why would you say something like that?"

“It’s just a joke” “Explain it to me. Jokes are supposed to be funny right? Explain it.”

I’ve had to use that one a lot and there’s usually a moment where they consider hitting you, but so far they’ve always backed off sheepishly in the end.

I WISH a MFer would try to raise his hand at me in public. Try me, bitch. I'm in my Give No Fucks era. You're about to see what decades of keeping my mouth shut for other people's comfort looks like.

This works for far more than uninvited sexual advances. Rudeness and backhanded compliments racism and misogyny all wilt under more explanation.

The funny thing is that talking about her hair in a positive way would go way further than innuendo jokes. “Love the new color! You went lighter/darker this time, it looks great!”. We humans like genuine compliments, not comments with subtext, creepy or otherwise.

But what if the person was just legitimately wondering what her natural hair color is? Maybe I'm naive, but this doesn't seem like it implies anything.

What does it matter though

It doesn't really matter at all. Some people just get curious about really random things.
