The Patriarchy of Hair


So you know boys like girls with long hair. 

I don't blame you for wanting short hair. Long hair is a pain. It's hotter when it's hot by a lot.

It's a patriachry because I want short hair for myself. Because it's cooler when it's hot. And most boys are utilitarian about things, which is why men usually choose to have shorter hair.

And they "demand" you have long hair. Or prefer it. Most heterosexual boys think girls with longer hair are more attractive.

Why?

One reason is you are easier to identify. "Woman" is what I think when I see long hair at first thought.

But for practical purposes it's not the length but the difference that matters.

Men get war. Women get love. Is the summary of my biological desire. So to see you quickly and choose love is helpful.

TO US.

To the ones who MADE the rules - are still I am speaking of the change I am making.

Men have been in charge since time began and have gotten to tell women what to do. Including "I like you better with long hair".

Which isn't fair. Why should you be five degrees hotter - the temperature kind - just because we find it asthetically pleasing? It's not fair. I don't like it.

But I still like long hair. Biological stuff isn't fair. It just is. So in solidarity and to not be a hypocrite, I will have long hair. Am growing it.
