Not so! The Royal King and the Black Knight among others are red-haired
men.
On the other hand, everyone with red hair wears it long...and everyone
with blonde or grey hair wears it short!

Again, not so...look at the Dark Forest Chick in the Bandit Ambush set.
(OK, it could be a young lad as well, but I think it's a girl!)
Before the invention of lipstick and facial hair, of course, female
minifigs looked identical to the men. But even now, there are examples of
some non-lipsticked females (one of the 'alternates' on Town Folk, if I
remember right, has the ponytail hair and the 'eyebrow smilie' face for a
distinctly feminine look.)

And hands that don't move!

Except in the Wild West, Feudal Japan, and some other Medieval periods.
(Hmm...all of which are recent...maybe the minifigs suffered from pay cuts
inspired by TLC's financial problems? That would also explain the
preponderance of theft as a means of wealth aquisition in LEGO themes...)

They can also have their limbs and even heads ripped off and replaced
without seeming any the worse for the wear. Oh, and they have to change
bodies to change clothes...
