It’s simply hair!

            Hair, what does it really matter? Well, it matters as much as we can imagine. The false perceptions of a girl having long hair being complete women verses a women with short hair being a dyke come into playing an important role. It’s unbelievable how a women’s length of hair can question their sexual orientation or even how feminine they are. This is all the causes of models posing with long, silky, and beautiful hair in the cover of magazines and fashion shoots. Nowadays, long hair is the full definition of who is straight or who is a “dyke”. How it is that hair got to be such an important factor to define what is we are? The answer lies upon the media and the way society set the standards of women’s’ hair length. Not to go too far in supporting the idea that magazines play a big role in the hair issue; one of my good friends I have says “oh look at that girl, she’s definitely a dyke, look at the hair and just the way she cut it.”  Then the question reverses to the men that let their hair grow out, they must simply be gay. Well, that’s wrong!!! Since the standards are set on men to have short hair then men shouldn’t have long hair but men still let their hair grow out. If you take a look at when you’re out with friends, there are many men with long hair but they are not expected to be judged by no means since their “power” as its stated protects them from this. What kind of crap is this? The solution to this is to change our mind set on setting standard on simple things like hair. Let people be who they want to be and stop looking at things that don’t matter as much. We as humans get this drilled into our mentality by the everyday crap that’s in the media but we need to look far beyond that. If we close our mind then just let this information sinks in then we are caught up with other ignorant people. “Never judge a book from its cover”
