I'm a fashion historian, and it seems that females with long hair to a lesser extenent are seen in a simaler way to men with long hair. A woman with really long hair is scene as more romantic and/sexually avabile, less practical, tends tword stereo types of their gender (EG: Female, gentler, weaker etc, and male: More dangourus, tougher) so it's not just men who are treated this way
Probably true but there's also the issue of 'acceptance' by society at large of long haired males... not that we give a rat's, do we chaps?
Cheers, Armin
Of course I was just noticing the simalarity in stereotyping
