Where//when did the term "red headed step child" come from?

[Bedford Stye]

I'm somewhat confused, does it mean the wife had sex with a redhead, and the husband isn't a redhead?

Or, you don't want a blended family with any ginger kids.

doubly unwanted as both a stepchild and a ginger

It's from the 1800s, when Irish/redheads/gingers were seen to be about as bad as black people. You beat redheads because they're redheads.

Today the saying is "Beaten like a mixed-race stepchild." Or that might be a little old and now there's a newer one. But the point is, you're beating on some kind of freaky outcast.

Ok. So, basically it's the same thing as saying INCEL MALE stepchild.

Red headed males are indeed strange looking, creepy. Its like they have a disease or genetic deformity, usually they have large bug eyes that stick out. Meanwhile the redhead females usually look terrific.

I think the SMV differential between ginger males/females is probably even higher than that of asian males/females.
