“You used to have such a dyke haircut,” someone says to me all the time. 1. Why the implication that “dyke haircuts” – and therefore lesbians – are unfeminine and unattractive? 2. Why does this person get away with telling me I’m unattractive? What if I am attracted to women?

Totally agree with you. What can you say to such a comment?

“With that haircut, I was attractive to the people that I wanted to be attractive to . And if you didn’t find that haircut attractive, I’m happy with that.”

Because heaven fucking forfend a woman look unattractive!

01.04.2012, 4:23 pmWhat if your hair doesn’t grow to “feminine” lengths?

Im new here on this site. is this person lesbian? or was the last part sarcasm? I get standing up for people’s rights, but if you are a straight girl, Is it not advantageous to have a good looking haircut, which is usually longer than a pixie cut or other similar styles? ( i think dyke haircut is the wrong term to use)
