So I was reading some random article as usual: http://bitchmagazine.org/post/isnt-he-lovely-balding
And in the section comment someone posted:
"So why should how sexy you (or even "general you") find a guy matter when he's out in the job market? Or in non-sexual social settings? Baldness should just be baldness, not some sort of sign of fundamental character flaw.It is and it isn't about women having standards. Standards are fine. But what those standards ARE, in either gender, are often the product of the society that we've been soaking in all this time. Message are everywhere saying that bald guys are unsexy and shlubby, baldness is awful, yadda yadda ew bald guys... so yeah, that'll sink in and manifest when we're making our own decisions about who we'd want to get with.
(And if we reversed all the gender pronouns and the appearance aspect involved, there'd be much more carping. I don't think it'd fly too well for a guy to come in and declare that he can't be guilt tripped into finding a fat woman attractive, and also Rosie O'Donnel is repulsive, with a sprinkling of it being all about finding mates.)"
And it brought a very particular question in my head: Has feminism contributed in any way to male pattern baldness perception in society? Is there such connection?
I already despise feminazis, and that would certainly be the ultimate reason for hating. Again, is just a thought. What do you guys think?
