Hhshirt - Fdu knights going dancing shirt

For years and years though, people have been told that women have long hair and men have short hair and that’s just the Fdu knights going dancing shirt But I will love this way it is. Women have been told that long hair is “beautiful” and “feminine”, while short hair is “manly” and “ugly”. Men have been told that short hair is “masculine” and “clean”, while long hair is “girly” and “unkept”. Gender stereotypes have put peoples in boxes and forced men and women to confirm to standards, otherwise they are criticized. Now more than ever, people are challenging these stereotypes. After being told something for so long though, these ideas still have a lot of influence. The idea that a woman with long hair is “beautiful” yet a man with long hair is “unkempt” is something that has been ingrained into our society. It’s slowly changing, but it’s taking time some,

specially with the older generations.


I had long hair for 21 years. Longest. The last I cut my hair was when I was 2 yrs old. Then it just grew. And grew. My mother refused to cut it, and later refused to let me cut it. In my culture it is considered blessing to have long hair. A lady is not supposed to cut her hair short. The only time it is cut for a married lady is after her husband dies. It was a pain. An irritation to maintain the Fdu knights going dancing shirt But I will love this hair for me, as it was not my intention. I was happy to cut it off. In a moment of Dutch courage(no I wasn’t drunk. Just a figure of speech) I chopped it half way down. P. S.: I don’t mean that it is difficult to maintain long hair, but it is definitely unreasonable to be not given permission to maintain your hair.
