I was told that short hair on women should not be allowed! [View All]

[rene moon]

Background: I have had my hair rather short in the past---think Halle Berry in her short hair days. My husband like short hair but that is not the reason I like it too. But right now, my hair is to my shoulders.


Last night, my husband and I went went to his friend's birthday party. It was a small gathering and I was the only woman there.

Somehow we got on the topic of hair and one guy said, "I love long hair on women, it makes them so feminine".

I then said that it wasn't true and I am thinking about going short again.

The guy says, "No, don't, you look prettier with longer hair and well, Mr. Renemoon shouldn't let you."

Me:"Shouldn't let me?, what is he, my father? I don't think so"

Guy: He is your husband and has the right to make those decisions. I know when I am married, I will not allow short hair on my wife or girl children"

I was floored! Who the **** thinks this way????

My husband then said to his friend, "Dude, this is the reason why you are with someone. You are a dick"

A few nights ago, I was looking on online for some short hair ideas and came across a message board about the actress Kiera Knightley and her recent short hair cut for an upcoming film.

I thought it looked great on her but then I read the responses to her hair cut.

It seems to me that many men felt that she had no right to cut her hair, she looked ugly, butch, un-feminine, a man, she needs to grow it out, etc...

What is the threat? I don't get it.

Someone explain it to me.
