Dear Mansplainers: I’ll Cut My Hair Short If I Want to

Your name and photo suggest you’ve seen Mad Men, but your post suggests you haven’t watched it — at least not really. Roger Sterling is transformed by the women around him. His daughter, Joan, Peggy — hell, even his ex-wife — help take the scales from his eyes. It makes sense that with a post like this you’d hide behind a fictional name and photo, but, here’s the thing — Roger Sterling would be embarrassed by you.

To make matters worse, you didn’t even have a logical, cohesive argument prepared when you sat down to write. The points you made in your post are weak, and, to prove it to you, I’m going to address each one of them head-on.If you think women choose to cut off their hair simply because their female celeb crush did it, you’re sadly mistaken. Try blow-drying, brushing and styling long hair one time, and then we’ll talk.

Your argument that short hair will make us stand out to guys “in a bad way” completely ignores the most basic concept surrounding the issue: We don’t do it for you. Who exactly are we trying to impress, and how does our short hair hinder us in that front? We’re certainly not chasing after guys like you, so trust me when I say we don’t want your attention.
