I need to know some things:
-
When do we get to label menās haircuts as stereotypical women hating styles?
-
Are both of these photos below man hating styles or is it culture and skin pigment dependent?
Iām in need of more education about how the hairstyles I wear will offend men at home and in the workplace.

Anything that expresses a womans independence from a male dominated tradition and liberates them from being an ownable object.
Thatās what they mean.
Thereās also a bunch of coded racism, homophobia and transphobia in there but I donāt really want to write a book today.

In some cultures this āman hatingā hair is seen as a normal standard of beauty & doesnāt anger anyone.
If only there was some published, āhairstyles that hurt my feelingsā handbook out there we could all refer to.

Iāve contemplated that one, but have known many men who wear them that donāt hate women. George Clooney and Kurt Russell are famous men that have donned that style, that havenāt been wholly misogynistic.
So then I considered total baldnessā¦ and came up with the same issue. Plenty of good men in that category too.
Pretty sure Iāve reached the point where Iām the only one that understands my jokes anymore lol.

Dohohohohohohoho. āBooksā he says. 
Honestly, you shouldnāt really care what others think about how you style your hair. You do you.
Iāve had mine to my shoulders for the longest time and only recently had to remove it all.
Itās cold

Iām sorry youāve had to give up your hair Lilly. I hope you are treating yourself to many luxurious scarves, hats and fluffy hoodies to help keep you warm.
My posts arenāt actually about my own hairstyles. I do plenty of wild, man-hating designs according to some of the audience here on the forums. My comments are more about pointing out that some people are so sensitive, they let other peopleās hair offend their delicate sensibilities. And interpret said styles as an attack on their masculinity.
And yetā¦ only on certain occassions. Seems like these hairstyles of hate have some nuances of cultural backgrounds and social/historical factors.
Mostly, just gazing in wonder at all the

I guess so, cuz Mahomes is making the tightly permed mullet mullet-hawk(?) great again.
Men does get the same treatment. Look up skin heads.
Skin heads are a social group based on thematic social ideals. They are not based on sexual/gender identity. There are also women skin heads. Some even who shave their skalps bare; but the question is - would that make them man-hating skinhead women for shaving their heads and being non-tradtiontal? I dunno.
Next legitimate example please?

They are normally identified with a bald head and tattoās in media. They also get hate on even if they are not apart of said group. Many white men deal with it every day and some canāt even help it. This problem is sorely on men alone and woman donāt have to worry about being called a racist just because they have no hair. Discrimination goes beyond just gender.
Anyways here is the deal;
My problem isnāt with real life people using styles, mine is what media uses the styles as a representative. I want to remind people we do not play games to seek representation or political ideologies, we play for fun. Too many times in the last decade politics or ideaās of the message getās shoved into games at the cost of game quality and these needs to be called out on, either by seeing the signs of it early, or completely not giving the company money for the product.

Fun fact. Having male pattern baldness has been a problem for humanity for tens of thousands (probably more) of years. It happens across all ethnicities. Iām hard pressed to think anyone that is balding is really, truly being pegged for being racist unless they have OTHER significant markers or behaviors that suggest this is the case. Perceptually and socially we know balding is a common biological problem of the human body, not commonly practiced choice to make a social statement.
So, call me skeptical of the bridge youāre trying to build here, but Iām gonna have to call kodo dung on this argument.

Translation: I dunno how to put muself in other peoples shoes.
Saying it donāt exist in your opinion donāt change the fact that issue does exist. And funny enough your arguement had already been addressed in my previous post, but you choose to ignore it.

Uh-huh. Well, Iāll be eagerly looking for the social science papers that delineate how often bald men are unintentionally pegged for belonging to racist communities now. So I can put myself in other peopleās shoes, so to speak.
Whatās coming up in my search so far is how often black women are discriminated against for wearing their hair certain ways and being declined job offers or kicked out of high schools.
Good talk.

This is not peer-reviewed evidence, but Iām a white dude who has been shaving my head for the last twenty-five years. If anyone ever had that reaction to me, I was never aware of it.

I dunno. You seem like trouble 
But also, Iāve done buzz cuts for our neighbors going off to their desert deployments who want their hair darned near down to the skin to help manage heat fatigue. I donāt think, wow - you must be a closet racist.
I think, āwow, I hope you donāt get sun burn on your noodle.ā
Maybe thatās just me.
Iām also not a peer reviewed source on this particular topic.
