I have found that many people still seem to be prejudiced toward men who wear their hair
long. As a matter of fact, there is also a certain number of those who disapprove of men
who wear beards. Why is this? These are such shallow "norms" and do not reflect anyone`s
personality. Some workplaces have rules against mens` long hair and even facial hair, as
do some schools. Almost no one nowadays would dare make a similar rule telling women to
not cut their hair. So why this picking on men? What are these institutions trying to achieve?
I would like some thoughts.

Hi.
I agree with you and I`m female. I have male friends with long hair and even my ex boss who was a Dr. had long hair. It didn`t make any difference in their personalities or how they did their jobs. I think that men should be able to wear their hair any way that they want to, provided it`s kept neat, but I think that way for women, too.
Hopefully, things will change.
