Anyone having a weird mix of emotions reading through the responses? I'm sorta vacilliating between being emboldened/pissed and laughing my head off at the craziness of some of the responses I'm reading. So many little sub-fights in this one meme! Look at this:
Niggas be hat fishing females and be beard fishing females also. Niggas be having no chin and big *** heads and sh*t tf.
Beard fishing? Never heard of having a beard as an act of deception ...
...Now that the laugh has worn off, I'll go back to being pissed off at the general trend of insensitivity people show toward men losing their hair. People don't get it. Allow me to preach to the choir for a moment in my indignation. Seeing your hair fall off -- not to mention land in your mouth (this has happened to me several times), in the sink, all over the bathroom -- is not a freaking joke. People responding to that meme (and in society in general) don't get it. Caring about hair loss doesn't mean you have some kind of double standard against male/female beauty. Men have every right to care about losing their hair, the same way women have a right to conceal their "flaws" if they so choose without shame or stigma. The problem is that makeup/eyeshadow/etc. is generally an ENHANCEMENT (sure, it can cover up some flaws, too). Hair loss is -- more often than not, and as that message board proves -- is a flaw. Applying foundation = beautification (and no judgment to that). Applying a hat or rogaine = damage control. I just felt this "men vs women" vibe the whole time reading that thread, and that pissed me off just as much as the insensitive comments toward something men can't control.
I'm done saying what you all know and probably feel anyway!
