It's kind of weird, considering how hairiness in general is a guy trait yet it suddenly becomes a girl trait when it grows out of the hairiest part of the body.

The longer your hair is, the more different ways you can style it. That's generally seen as a girly thing I guess.

Depends on the culture and trends. Like right now man buns are becoming a thing and a lot of women are starting to cut their hair short. But in general I guess it's sort of along the lines of what hardcoreignitor said.

Wait do you guys mean to say that swallowing can't cause pregnancy? My ex-girlfriend was lying to me the whole time we were together?! This is an outrage!

I was wondering why I felt a disturbance in the force within your tummy.

Next time I'm wearing a XXXL trash bag, no ifs or buts.


I doubt that it'd contain it. It'd just rip through the bag.

To ignore the enthralling discussion on doge seamen, and to answer the OP...

I think long hair is associated with femininity because it's viewed as "beautiful", and physical beauty is considered more of a feminine thing (the male equivalent being handsome). Long hair is really soft and flowy, gives off a really playful vibe, and can be styled in many different ways, and it can rest around your shoulders like a pillow, so it's considered beautiful and elegant. On the other hand, short hair might be more associated with someone who is a practical worker or something. In that sense, maybe the association came from the times when women weren't even legally allowed to do work.

ok i return ready to answer the OP question too, i'll try to sum this up to the best of my abilities

This did come up in my philosophy class, apparently long hair used to be a dude thing but then WWI happened. Soldiers there had to have their hair cut short since long hair was a disadvantage in combat. This made standards for beauty change, and men with short hair became the COOL ATTRACTIVE THING. Long hair became a woman thing as a result, I suppose. It sounds pretty out there I know.

quick sources, the second one has more info:

A similar thing is also why tans are considered attractive. People who have a lot of money go on vacations to nice sunny places and end up getting tanned. It became attractive since it makes it seem like tan people are rich.

^It couldn't just be WWI, though, unless all the movies set before WWI that I've ever watched are inaccurate when depicting hairstyles. While men back then are usually shown with longer hair in general, women are as well, so you had men with shoulder-length hair and women with hair down to their waists (often done up in ridiculous giant beehive shapes and whatnot).

It's a culture thing. You ever notice how long hair is only really seen as a feminine thing when it's beautiful/healthy/well kept?

Since we're talking about hairstyles, can I say how much I hate bowl cuts? Because I really hate them. I had one once and I felt so bare. Made me feel worse that my family would always say that they liked it on me e_e

Anyway, I think medium haircuts (going to just underneath the shoulder) are the most comfortable, but looks are too varied for me to judge.


Bowl Cuts and Bangs are terrible.
