Have we come a long way baby? Have we really? When men are permitted to keep their hair at a manageable length, but if women do it they are freaks or dykes. (And that's a bad thing, right?) Apparently there is something about owning a vagina that requires wearing 10 pound hair that takes hours of daily prep and maintenance. Sorry, but life is short and I'm not going to waste mine making my husband wait for me to fix my hair every time before we go out. Sometimes I like to get out of the mirror and actually go outside? You say we are equals. Well prove it. He doesn't have to wear a ponytail. Why do I have to? Because you need something to pull? Because I have a vagina? What does that have to do with the hair on my head? Have I really broken a cultural taboo? What century is this again? Remember when it was taboo for a woman to wear pants? To go out without a corset on? Well apparently to some, my short hair is revolutionary. Forgive me for not being ladylike, but I believed you when you said we were equals now. I thought I had rights over my own hair (easily replaceable by the way), but incidentally, there are rules we women must adhere to. Silly me, thinking I had rights. What a rebel I am indeed. Who knows what outrageous things I might do next! Like cooking without an apron!
And if I may be so bold to add... Why is it that an adulterous woman is seen as a scandalous unvirtuous whore, while little is thought of an adulterous man because he's "just a man."
?
Something to think about.
