This is so that the teller of the joke could indignantly pretend that they aren't being sexist, cuz the joke is about men TOO! It's not "remaking the stereotype". It's pretending that the stereotype doesn't exist. I was blonde back when these things were in their last cycle. When I replied with 'brunette jokes', people would get all wide-eyed and say gosh, that was mean! Hello, fuckwad, did you think that coming up and making jokes about my haircolor making me a dumb slut was kindly? David’s is a close second.

(Warning: you have to have had enough calc to know how to integrate, in order for the joke to work.) Two mathematicians are sitting in a restaurant, arguing cordially. "The common man in the street," declares the first mathematician, "knows absolutely nothing about mathematics. He cannot perform so much as a simple integration." "Nonsense," says the second. "Laymen these days are extremely sophisticated. Why, I imagine that even that blonde waitress over there would be capable of integration." They argue some more, and then the first mathematician excuses himself to the bathroom. His friend immediately calls the blonde waitress over to the table and slips her a $20. "Listen," he says, "I'm going to ask you a mathematical question in a minute. I want you to answer the question, 'one third x cubed.' Got it?" The waitress repeats the syllables, "one thir-dex-skubed" a few times, and nods. When the first mathematician returns, the second mathematician declares, "I'll bet you fifty dollars that our waitress can integrate the function x squared." His colleague agrees, and they call the waitress over and ask her to integrate x squared. She repeats her line faithfully, "one thir-dex-sckubed", and the first mathematician dutifully pays up. The waitress smiles, and as she walks away, she adds, over her shoulder, "pllus a constant". My favorite blonde joke was told to me by a math teacher.
