Short hair is a political statement

Why patriarchy fears the scissors. Columnist Laurie Penny (previously, previously, previously, previously, previously ...) takes a look at the latest trend in "manosphere" blogging: writing about the belief that women with short hair are hideous and deranged (Warning: last link goes to an extremely creepy, misogynistic article; it is described in the first link if you would prefer not to click on it.)

This post was deleted for the following reason: Maybe don't link to horrible shit just to say "people are horrible" and then link to Jezebel talking about the horribleness? If there is a thing to discuss here make a post without the internet outrage, please? -- jessamyn



 
Here's the Google cache for that last article so we can avoid giving the pieces of shit who run that website the page views, since if you click through to their about page you'll find that their general mission statement is somehow even more repugnant than that article on its own.

Weird. Not that my opinion is important, but I have always had the complete opposite perception about hair. I've always thought that general attractiveness is inversely proportional to hair length.
