I was a teenager in the 80s, and all the coolest guys (metalheads, burnouts, etc) had long hair, and the coolest girls (punk and new wave girls) had short hair. I can only suppose this is why I tend to find long hair to be masculine and short hair to be feminine.

I do like that men making up weird reasons to bash women's choices has been around and continues to this day. And by like I mean I'm fucking tired

I recently turned 80. When I was a little boy I got very confused when I learned that male lions have long hair and their mates have short hair!! Kaz, you are so smart and have so many gift!s! I am grateful to you for sharing them with us. I am grieving the recent death of my wife and your programs are a nice distraction as I love to learn. My wife would have also enjoyed them.

This was really interesting! Short hair in the west being tied to poverty is fascinating considering butch lesbian used to be considered a working class identity. And also idea of same gender attraction being inherently gender non-conforming... lot of concepts here are still painfully relevant LOL.

So at what point did studying and bike riding stop shutting down uteruses? Because I'm high-key upset mine kept stubbornly going.

Everybody thinks I'm lesbian because of my short hair. The hairdresser even refuse to shave my neck because it's less "feminine". With boots and short hair, as a recent graduate psychologist it's insane how people go make judgments becsuse of my hair and clothes. With curly hair and violet stripes I don't really care what they think.

In the 60s, my Yugoslavian grandma was abandoned by her husband because they couldn’t get pregnant (obv he was the reason and not her). She then cut her hair off and bought a one-way ticket to Berlin with it. To this day she loves telling this story about her empowerment through selling part of her beauty.

This video was an eye-opener that explained a lot of stereotypes that still exist today. Very interesting, thank you for making this!

OMG REALIZASHUN So having short hair as a woman could classify you as thethird gender, a.k.a. fairy. THAT'S why in the present women's short hairstyles are called pixie cuts. It all makes sense now

The "Coiffure a la Titus" is such a good look. Highly tempted to bring it back. All these short-haired women looked great.

I remember getting flack for being a guy with long hair when I was young. It's weird how much people get bent out of shape over something that really should be a personal choice. Ironically, woman seemed to love my flowing locks and often wanted to touch it, play with it, braid it, when all I wanted was for another guy to look my way. Sigh...

I was intrigued by this as a straight woman with short hair. I've seen some of the most ridiculous rants from men about short hair on women, like it's a deliberate dig at men. Nah, bro, my hair's just troublesome, and it's a lot easier to deal with short. But just for you, I'll cut it shorter. It's fun to know the history.

It was so funny when i cut my long hair and all male friends thought it was their duty to vocal their disappointed by saying I LIKED IT MORE BEFORE, like there are still men who believe their opinions on our looks are the most valuable, I find it adorable
