[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing more pathetic than a poor little girl with long stringy hair she can’t handle.[/quote]

except a girl with a crappy boy haircut. [/quote]

False dichotomy. There’s a lot of ground between long, scraggly hair and a “boy haircut”, whatever that means in this day and age. [/quote]

They are two sides of the same sexist coin. The first poster imposing an unnecessary beauty standard on a child (who cares?), and the second is being unnecessarily binary about gendered hair.

It’s like how my parents comment incessantly on my nephews hair, which is long because he likes it that way and it’s easier to deal with. They won’t just come out and say “Boys shouldn’t have long hair” because they know that’s not PC. So instead they just fixate on his hair, saying things like “I just don’t know what to think about his hair” or “how much longer do you think this will go on?”

It’s just hair, people! It does not matter.[/quote]
