Who faces more discrimination? Men with long hair or women with short hair?

Question

PlacentaSalad · Accepted Answer

I'm not entirely sure a man would understand how much a woman might be judged for short hair, or vice versa. As a male, I can only tell you that I don't find shorter hair on women to be attractive, but I'd never demand she grow it out. And perhaps plenty of women don't necessarily like longer hair on men. The idea is for people to just mind their own business.

I used to have long hair (passed the shoulders) when I was younger, and while some girls liked it, I'm sure many did not. Within my family, my grandparents were constantly telling me that I "need" a haircut. So, I experienced the annoying comment quite often but only really from family.

Women with short hair for sure. They're seen as masculine or gay if it's done by choice.

Men with long hair can actually look pretty aesthetic and the man bun is pretty common... or at least it used to be.

I got a lot weird comments from men whenever I had short hair (it was to my chin) or in one case a guy looked at me, turned to his friend and then started laughing. I personally liked my short hair and got a lot of random compliments too, it was just my most polarizing hairstyle without meaning it to be lol. As for guys with long hair I feel like they get more compliments so long as it is well cared for, but still pressed men in the poll cause I feel like there is more of a negative connotation that might go with it

I'm really not sure. The only thing I could see is some women being mistaken for a guy. But that usually happens with women who are tomboys. But I remember one time in high school I had seen a guy with long curly hair and he was in the library for something about his laptop. The librarian is like "If he can figure it out, he'll be the first one to crack the case." And I'm like "The person who was just in here was a guy?" She's like "Yeah, he just has really great hair."

"discrimination" is the wrong word. Men have a right to preferences even if women want to claim that only women can have preferences. If men find most women with short hair fugly that's our right.

the word 'discrimination' is a little much in this context 😃

WEIXIN · Answer

men with long hair are seen as bums who let themselves go. women with short hair can be looked down upon, but for the most part are not as long as it's kept neatly.

Do they face any discrimination? Didn't notice such a thing in Europe. And I cut my hair a few times totally short...

If a woman looks like a dyke I think she won't get beneficial interest from men. Men will help women they like.

It's wrong to try to make generalities like this. Some are discriminated against, while some are not.

TallAnon · Answer

I've had very long hair (past the lower back) and currently haven't gone to the barber for a while, so it's getting quite long again; I've also been completely bald.
There has been no difference in how people treat me, at all.

Paul09 · Answer

Not the right word. But I think women get it a little more. Especially the ones that have their head and wear wigs. For me personally I prefer longer. And I know a lot that agre with me.

This is a gross misuse of the term discrmnate. No one is discriminated against based on the length of their hair.

What kind of discrimination? I don’t think women get judged much. Women with short hair are sexy. Even a racist white man would bang a beautiful black woman if he were horny
