I really don't know, there are many blonde women who have made a great success in life. People do tend to make fun of females more than they do males for some reason, i've never quite understood it to be honest.
Sadly we live in a sexist world, that I do see changing any time soon!

Maybe because there is the saying that blondes have more fun, some may have thought there needed to be a balance so they thought up the blondes are dumb and maybe it stemmed right back to the early days of Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn Maxwell and Jane Mansfield they all played dumb in movies...just a maybe

I believe Hollywood has something to do with that, it is a pop-culture Stereotype. Some say it started in 1925 with Anitas Loos's novel "Gentlemen prefer blondes" later put into film staring Marilyn Monroe playting a beautiful but empty-headed blonde.
