The pony tail is but part of the issue. The hair should not be long in [t]he first place.
As a man who has worn his hair long(ish) for most of his life, I am offended. Yes, offended, I tell you. Who do I complain to about this hate speech?
Oh, riiiight, if a woman engages in sexism, it’s all okay, just like a black person making a racist comment. Yeah, okay, I got it now…
Hypocrisy, thy name is Guardian.
Never understood the blokes with ponytail thing. After all, when you lift a pony’s tail don’t be surprised if there’s a horse’s arse underneath.
It’s simply a means of pulling it away from your face when needed – I sometimes wore mine tied back, but mostly loose. These days it’s just off my collar, so loose is fine. The horse’s arse cliché is old hat, frankly. Time to consign it to the bin where it belongs.
I think Henry might be a bit jealous. Just over shoulder length here.
😈
Not at all. I grew out of the long hair thing in the 1970s. I much prefer the military buzz cut.
Whereas I detest the military buzz cut and wouldn’t be seen dead in one. Different tastes is all. I would never say that men shouldn’t cut their hair short if that is what they want.
Something Hadley Freeman and some of her commenters seemed unable to grasp.
A bit OT but how did you get the link to go directly to the comment rather than the top of the page?
There is a “link” next to the comment.
Oh yeah 😳
Hmm. Don’t think they apprieciate my…. Gentelmanly demeanour to the wee girlies on their staff.
“I will cut my hair, when you get your tits out for the lads sweetiepies”, was, considering which “news” Paper it is, probably NOT going to last very long.
Although I thought ten minutes before being censored was really rather good.
So
man with long hair = bad
woman wearing trousers = good
Right, got it, just typical feminist hypocrisy again.
Personally I think long hair on a man should be banned. Why? Well mainly because I’m just vaguely jealous of anyone with ANY hair (it’s because I have more testosterone than all the other men, honest!).
