But also the idea of any sort of sex appeal was reserved for young, single women in their late teens and very early 20s. 
In our mothers’ time, you got married at age 20-24 —and once you were a married woman, your manner of dressing and styling needed to fit in with your new role, which usually included role of mother by age 30. And social media was called TV. Who were the “mothers” on TV at that time? June Cleaver, Donna Reed, Carol Brady,…all women who had short hair set in rollers and wore dresses and “sensible heels” with a simple strand of pearls to the market for grocery shopping.
The era of late-80s nighttime soaps like Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Dallas ushered in a new brand of married woman who could be a mother AND have a spicy side that wasn’t quite so matronly. Even the mid-80s sitcoms brought mothers with a less matronly look and more style/flair like Cosby Show’s Claire Huxtable, Growing Pain’s Maggie Seaver, and even through the portrayal of hippie-turned-mom Family Ties’ Elyse Keaton that accompanied mothers being portrayed as career women. 
In this way, I think one can argue that media was definitely driving culture rather than reflecting it.

So as a collective we all agree that short hair is elderly? Yes![/quote]
