Mainly they are young women and they are experimenting with their identity just to discover who they are or who they want to be. I think it's fine to experiment diverse looks, activities and such while young (not only for women but also for men. Even if it the end you choose what it's traditional, it helps to make you sure you made your elections in life because you wanted and not because you thought that's what's expected.
About exactly why a woman would like to look masculine (or the other way a man would like to look femenine) maybe is because they use looks as a way to slowly get closer to a personality improvement as a human they desire. Humans personality traits divides in femenine and masculine, also some people call ones ying traits or yang traits. There are femenine traits that are positive for humans and also others that and same story with masculine traits. Plus, usually a masculine positive trait is opposite to a femenine negative and the other way, a femenine positive is opposite to a masculine negative.
The greater aim of any human beign is to learn to develope both femenine and masculine positive traits and to get over negatives humans traits of both sides. However I think trying to get those traits which are mainly psychological through forcing looks is naive and kind of childish. That's why I see playing with looks and identity something to do when someone's yet young.
On the other side it could also be a test, in the sense that they don't want to look sexually attractive, that way if someone approaches is because they are very interested in something out of her look.
Just to end, Cara Delevingne is either lesbian or bisexual (as she has have some girls as a partner in the last year's) so, she doesn't care that much about showing femenine traits so they attract a beign that lacks of femeninity (because you know, we are usually attracted by the traits we lack of, and the more guys lack of development in their femenine side the more they like exaggerated femenine girls).
And too many paragraphs trying to give a different perspective. I hope it serves, and if it doesn't so sorry for this long piece of trash I wrote.
everybody knows men are superior to women ( testosterone being superior to estrogen ) despite how they try to create an illusion of equality. women know they can never be like men so they are helplessly filled with envy because they are stupid and delusional. they think they will look better if they copy and imitate men. but they only look dumber.
on the other hand there are females like me who love accept the reality and the order of things, and instead of trying to compete with men we love men for being so great and it makes us happy.
i dont understand you logic... "beautiful the way they are."
they aren't naturally born with makeup, waxed legs, manicured nails, etc... but im guessing that is fine by you?
shaving their heads doesn't make them any less of a woman... they just literally have less hair lmao. why not its way less work and it looks fucking fire. i dont think cara looks more masculine at all in that photo too. its a style and a choice... so many men grow out their hair to be long nothing is wrong with that either...
It think it has to do with Feminism & LGBTQ+ because i think its like a trend in this communities to show some type of that they are stronger then men. I don't understand really why they need that. Because most guys i think don't care. I think its because of there ego or there some type of fears or feeling not strong enough could be related to there family or past usually. Probably they had abusive father or was living just with a single mother i think thats mostly the case.
If any girls read this. You are beautiful the way you are you don't need to be more masculine or have tatoos or have short hair. Most guys like femine women opposites attract. Why any guy would want to have a girlfriend that looks just like a guy.
I think you’re reading into it too much. If a woman wants to have short hair why shouldn’t she do as she pleases? A lot of women prefer short hair too cause it’s easier to maintain than long hair. It could be as simple as that. And I’m sure there are men out there that really don’t care what length a woman’s hair is and will date them regardless. Also... who says they do it fair men and not themselves?
Girls dress up for men. That's a fact. In the old times, when there was no mirror, still girls used to dress up nicely. Why? To attract good quality men.
I got long hair but I also got a combined 15 years of martial arts experience, workout (lifting and HITT), drink like a fish, and am good at male oriented tasks. It’s just who I am 🤷🏻♀️I don’t care what guys think about it and I’m sure those women also don’t really care.
Are you saying this all based on their hairstyle choice? I personally wouldn’t cut my hair but I don’t see anything wrong with women choosing to rock shorter hair. It must be pretty freeing. Do you realize how much work goes into maintaining long hair? Lol.
I don't find buzzcuts or very short hair attractive on women either, but it's their right to do it and I'm sure some have their reasons, like it may look better to them or just be easier to manage.
Despite all that however, people do need to understand that if you do something that's kind of unusual for people of your race or gender, then some people won't find it attractive, especially if it's bold or outside the box, because people are allowed to have preference.
Because feminists say that if you grow long hair, wear makeup, shave your arms and legs, wear dresses and heels, etc. then you are not a strong powerful woman. You are a slave and being oppressed by the patriarchy. So these girls adopt the feminist label thinking that all this bullsh*t is true. They are infected with cancer.
Theyre trying to make a statement. Long ago girls were expected to have long hair, wear dresses and to stay home to look after the children and to clean the house. Now woman are shaving their heads, wearing boyish clothes and getting more manly jobs to show men that woman can do anything that guys can do. Its kind of a big fvck you.
"to show men" LOL! Unless the answer is that is just what they like, that is what appeals to them than it is a stupid answer. "to show men" being the reason for anything is an idiotic reason... LOL!
Why have you framed your entire life so? "TO SHOW MEN!"
I feel like it’s something women have always wanted to do - but being that society forces us to have longer hair and look pretty, we have to keep that image. It’s all taught. I feel like a buzz cut would make my life easier. It’s so hot in the summer with long hair 😭 It also depends how you were raised. I was raised to never cut my hair and being a tomboy is a no-no. So here I am.
Society doesn't force. Society teaches you. Why does it do that? So that you can live happily and attract a good partner. Feminine women are more attractive.
Exactly - the reason why they’re more attractive is cause it taught you to think like that. Sexual preference, what your ideal is everything. So if a woman wanted to fit into those standards she has to look / behave like that.
It's not what is taught. It's biology. Why did women grew boobs? To attract men. That's biology. No other mammal has all time full boobs. Only women does, why? To attract men.
Yeah, I'm also not understanding why you believe that it's "society" which tells women how to be in order to attract men. Masculinity is drawn to femininity; femininity is drawn to masculinity. Fundamentally. Animalistically.
It seems you believe that humans are "blank slates" after birth, just programmable machines. But none of the science says that, to my knowledge.
For a fundamental argument, neuroscience tells us that humans primarily run on instinct, and our logical center, the frontal lobe, the most evolved part of the brain's main purpose is simply to rationalize baser instincts [Dr. Steven Novella]. i. e. Humans are mostly just really smart animals.
And when you look at animals, no one has to tell them how to behave. There are social standards, still, within, say, a group of chimps. Rules each member has to abide by, for social cohesion. But, instinct knows what it wants. No one has to convince a monkey to find some traits more attractive than others. They already know. Innately. Instinctually. And, since humans are mostly instinct.
If it were purely cultural, wouldn't you think there would be much more massive differences among different societies? It seems relatively the same, to me.
For instance, women aren't committing most of the murders in any area in the world. Why are women more peaceful? Is it just all those different societies all successfully convince women not to commit violent crime?
In any case, what role do you think instinct has to play?
Some girls prefer to look a certain way. It doesn’t matter what a guy thinks, if I felt like cutting my hair just to try it out I would. And it’s not necessarily to be more masculine, it’s more so breaking gender norms and trying new things and styles
I mean that’s what the friends of mine with short hair have told me in the past. Not from personal experience. Why does it matter anyways tho, there are sooooo many girls who like to be feminine still and have long hair.
Because from the feminist point of view men are the gold standard for strength. They hate themselves & their gender and don’t even realize it. They think being masculine is the only way to be strong.
Many of them also foolishly believe that men give af. Men don’t want to be in a relationship with someone who is trying to compete with him constantly. Nor do men value the stuff in women that women value in men like her career/degrees/ability to fart louder than an elephant.
They just have this weird thing where because they've been taught about feminism, "societal conditioning", "oppressive" gender roles etc. They think that they should do the opposite to rebel. Normal women don't do this though, those women tend to be damaged in some way.
Why are men becoming more feminine? It's culture man. Like it or not the culture is changing again as it always does.
Also explain what you mean by masculine. Because tomboys certainly exist and they have always been accepted as long as I've been alive. Why is this at different?
What? I love tomboys, what are you talking about? Tomboys are cute dude. Especially when they still retain their femininity but merely dress more boyish.
Because being beautiful or feminine isn’t the only criteria for being a woman. We also don’t need to pander to other people. If we want short hair, fine. If we want long hair, fine. Tattoos? Body mods? Big muscles? Fine. Who gives a shit, seriously?
If a non feminized woman somehow upsets you, either shut up about them and move on with your life, or grow a pair and accept different views on the matter.
I asked "why are women trying to be masculine?" You answered that woman can be whatever they want. But I didn't ask whether women can be whatever they want or not. But the dumb kid can't understand that 😂
I’ll use small words so you can understand. The answer to the question, why are women trying to be masculine, is that they can be whatever they want to be. That includes masculine.
When I shaved part of my head I didn't do it to look masculine. I did because I wanted an new hairstyle and I like the half shaven look. Besides short hair is much easier to take care off and much cooler. Long hair can be a pain in the ass.
@Agape93 honestly though, this guy thinks dresses, makeup and heels equals masculine look just because you have short hair. Like wtf kind of logic is that? Lol
@twenty2 and short hair accompanied by a dress, make up and heels is feminine. Yes you are ignorant and apparently so much so that you can't even realize. That's the sad type of ignorant.
@twenty2 how much do you want to bet that if a guy with short hair wore dress, make up and heels you would say he looks feminine and not masculine? Why the double standard? Dresses, makeup and heels have been considered feminine for many many years now. You can say whatever you want too as well, you're still ignorant.
No what I'm after is you realizing that you can still look feminine with short hair. Emma Watson looks feminine even with short hair and very good still too. We get it, you don't like short hair on women. You like long but that doesn't mean you can't have short hair and still look feminine.
@twenty2 if she wears feminine clothes then yeah she'll look feminine. And so what women can only be attracted to masculinity? Ever heard of bisexual or lesbian girls? Damn your ignorance is high
@Twenty2 Ya Emma Watson is feminine as hell. Also cutting your hair short is doesn't make you a men. You don't grow ball beacuse you shaved your head. Women do it because they like the look not because they want to be men.
Never wanted to LOOK masculine, but have had to become like a man to carry 100% of burdens cause those around me were weak. Chicks that wanna look like a dude are usually lesbians.
Because they want to and realize that they don't have to be subjected to prejudiced standards of beauty that can degrade self[-esteem and cause depression if internalized. I think that in itself is a beautiful thing.
I just talked to the 🙂 and realised something. It's not men who are pushing you 🙂, it's you. You're not good enough, well, you're not social at all. You are keeping yourself at a pedestal that only you know how high is. It's not men's fault that they don't like you.
