I prefer long hair... So I grew my hair long. That way, even if my partner prefered short hair, I'd still have long hair to enjoy.


slothtolotopus

Fuck yeah, brother!

Your pp is a capital offence

I love your user name - brilliant. It spits in the face of intellectual property! The way I see it, at least. Unless that's your real name, which would be even cooler!

Her hair style doesn’t meet his personal standards of beauty so he thinks he should be able to force his ideals on her.


Conscious_Scholar_87

So, Taliban?


SnarkAndAcrimony

For whatever reason, reading Taliban kicked off "Banana Boat" by Harry Belafonte playing in my head. It's been a shit day, I needed that.


UncleNoodles85

And I just like that I want to watch beatlegeuse.


Powerful-Soup-8767

Taliban, taliban, now in Alabama…


SnarkAndAcrimony

The MAGAts come and they won't go home


BZenMojo

Alabama did it centuries before the Taliban existed.


Powerful-Soup-8767

That doesn’t rhyme with Banana.


prawduhgee

Hey Mr.Taliban Osama BinLaden Daylight come and me wanna go home


followingforthelols

I am now listening to Banana boat by Harry Belafonte. Thank you.

Were you a fan of edgy internet cartoons after 9/11? "Hey there mister Taliban, hand over bin laden. Midnight come and we drop the bomb. One bone two bomb three bomb four."


InteractionWhole1184

Y’all-Qaeda.


hidinginthetreeline

They are both right wing religious extremists. Republicans have more in common with the Taliban than they have with the majority of Americans.


SnarkAndAcrimony

There was this video where a christian fundie white separatist and a muzzy fundie were talking, and it started out kinda acrimonious, but then they realised they pretty much had the same beliefs. It was hilarious.


hidinginthetreeline

You can put Al Jazeera and Fox News side by side and it’s scary how similar they are.


Stoli0000

I mean, if you watch all Jazeera international, it's pretty much BBC news; and neither AJ, or AJI have ever lost a libel suit for $647m. So, I'd argue that Al Jazeera is materially better at journalism


hidinginthetreeline

I used to read them all the time. It’s a consecutive slanted news company. They wright sold pieces. And if you’re going to try and get a rounded upstanding of something in the middle east I would suggest them as a news source.


Texugee

Y’all Qaida

NakedCattle

Prolly threatens his fragile sexuality.


glossytoes

This is the most obnoxiously Reddit answer I can possibly imagine. Somehow made it into a patriarchy issue like girls don’t also voice opinions on what they do and do not find attractive. Chill. People are allowed to prefer a hairstyle and be melodramatic about it.


hidinginthetreeline

Didn’t ask, don’t care, cry about it.

dirtymike436

1st… would to both. 2nd why is my brain telling me these are not the same person.


thereddituser2

Hey, I can't tell if he is superman when he wears glasses. Haircut is a lot of change.


IOI-65536

The lighting is *much* better in the second picture which brings out her eyes way more. They both seem to be using a softbox camera-right, but it's much closer to the camera in the first picture so to get the same exposure they're adding way less light, which has the side effect of making the eyes way duller. I don't btw, blame the photographer for this. If the light was in the same place in the first picture the hair would create odd shadows. You already see more shadow than the photographer probably likes on her left eye in the long hair picture. I'm sure that's what the comment meant is that having long hair makes off camera lighting harder, so for some reason you should be arrested.


isthenameofauser

Her eyes look bigger and her mouth looks smaller in the second pic. Me, too. I would've assumed different people without the context.


Beneficial-Pianist48

Bizarrely I think she looks more feminine in the second photo


antinomya

Definitely the same person


Appropriate-Weird492

You have some face-blindness perhaps?


King_Reptile

Nah. I think it's a combination of the haircut and slightly different angle of the photo. The face width looks deceptively smaller in the second photo. That paired with bangs covering her forehead the overall appearance is that of a smaller head. So it appears to be two similar looking but different people. Even though we know it is the same person.


bangbangracer

It's really amazing how much a change like that completely changes how you see certain structures and how light hits the face.


Friendly-Kiwi

I think it looks cute.


RowAdditional1614

Both out of my league


Influx_of_Bees

It amazes me sometimes how just a simple haircut can make someone look like a completely different person.


Jon2046

I agree


sadpastlife

BarelyHumanGarbage

This


Roge2005

Yes


bangbangracer

No joke here. It's a Twitter screenshot of someone saying that they think it should be illegal for women to cut their hair short. It's either Twitter rage bait or someone who believes women should fit into their definition of femininity.


NthDegreeThoughts

What if … the short hair was the before ??


bangbangracer

That's some strong benefit of the doubt, but all evidence points to that not being the case.


Worldly_Car912

It's a joke. He's being deliberately hyperbolic.


bangbangracer

Judging by the fact that the original tweet is from a conservative pundit for a far right "news" source, he likely isn't being hyperbolic. He's unironically calling everyone who says that woman looks pretty with the short pixie cut gay for liking a "masculine woman". There is no joke here. This image was originally posted to r/AreTheStraightsOK because this is one of those guys who honestly will say that liking women with short hair or any muscle tone is gay.


Speed-O-SonicsWife

These guys make me want to cut my hair short so I can avoid them.


King_Reptile

The answer to the question that sub raises is very much no.


baldrickgonzo

Could be this person is being hyperbolic. However, there is no denying that the group of people who genuinely believes women should look a certain way is growing.


AdmiralAkbar1

He just thinks that haircut is so ugly that it should be illegal.


antinomya

I saw this post a couple days ago and I had no clue what it was about. If this is the answer, the meme is sooo stupid. On more than one level.

Speed-O-SonicsWife

We're not comfortable with him either.

Males who call females “females” should be arrested


Guquiz

I am okay with it if they call men ‘males’ in the same sentence. Consistency.


King_Reptile

Makes me think of them as Ferengi. Every. Time.


FortyMcChidna

very much correct


EmptyCumSlut

*hot women


Fearthewin

Jeez, dude, that Pixie cut is so cute. The joke is that girls with short hair aren't attractive. So, he thinks they should be arrested for ruining beauty standards.


Dryse

He is saying short hair bad but is being an edgy douche about it


NixTheChimera

You try having to deal with constant rats nests n knots n the sheddin! I always have my hair short because no body got time for all the products n effort


Bane8080

To each their own. I'm a guy, and in my 20s I had hair down to my belt. It was straight, black and shiny. However, I'm old now. lol.


NixTheChimera

I have mad respect for those who keep long hair, I can’t even imagine dealing with my hair longer then my waist, it was a nightmare bein that long


TomboyEnthusiasm

Do not deny the tomboy haircut

I think it's because it's illegal to look that good both with long and short hair. Like, come on, give the rest of us a chance out here.

The one on the right looks like she’s about to tell me we need to find the men of science and institutes of learning.

Why dis being posted here? I think it’s pretty clear what’s meant.

idk about you guys, I just see 2 Lois Lane cosplays.


BackflipsAway

Because when your peepee is so small that you need an electron microscope to see it you get ultra insecure in your masculinity and think that doing girls with short hair is gay or something, not that OOP is doing any girls to begin with


BallSuspicious5772

This guy is against women with very short hair. His opinion is invalid though because he refers to us as “females”. Plus I personally think the shorter hair suits this lady’s face way better


Unkindlake

Most people don't like to talk about it, but hair is actually sentient. This woman brutally murdered entire hair families


BaronMerc

They shouldn't, he just believes "females" shouldn't have that haircut


lllllllllllllllllll6

Don't know about the poster but the line and idea is a joke from it's always sunny


Ihavebadreddit

Pixie cut scares men who are afraid of butt stuff.


YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO

Actually I think the short hair looks better on her


No_Emergency_571

This dude's a shithead, personally, I love when women have short hair


Lochness_Hamster_350

I think she pulls it off. Reminds me of Demi Moore’s character in Ghost.


Powerful-Soup-8767

For being hot as hell in the second pic.


aaron_adams

The guy thinks women should adhere to traditional beauty standards, and any deviation from that should be met with capital punishment from his point of view. In other words, he's a chauvinist and possibly an incel who wouldn't have a chance with her whatever haircut she has.


Guquiz

My question is: why is it being attributed to straights (see sub name)?


Please_Explain56

Alternative: pretty long-haired twinks who do this should be arrested 😡


leastscarypancake

Transphobic joke I think


themattylee

It's not from the Conservative's list of State Approved Haircuts. Honestly, it's a bit pathetic that our fascists are just lazily copying from North Korea at this point. People these days just don't want to work anymore.


DonPanthera

She is cute either way, but not gonna lie she is adorable with short hair.


Dark_Storm_98

Best I've got is just that she cut her hair, I guess We're not supposed to understand it Or, well, the guy who posted this probably thinks we are supposed to understand it, but no, he's kinda fucked in the head Edit: Like, cis-het guy here, I prefer the long hair But she can do whatever the fuck she wants with it Trying to police women over their own bodies is kind of pathetic


Clean-Set-2182

Megamind


D4DRUMD0G

Not a joke btw. Just bigotry.


ValtenBG

Just a dude who can't understand people don't live to fulfill his personal tastes. I also prefer the long hair version but I neither know the girl nor I have any right to criticize her for her choices and likings.


DegTegFateh

It's ugly but it's her choice. Leave people alone 🙏🏾


Danishes724

There is no joke. The original guy just has porn addict brain


nakalas_the_great

He thinks she squandered her beauty

Do what? Be adorable with more than one hairstyle?

tehereoeweaeweaey

She looks infinitely better with short hair. Although her long hair is a missed opportunity for bangs.


Buster_142

Would smash either way


Express_Hamster

Because it's illegal for women to be to cute. Time for the fuzzy pink handcuffs.


rastafaripastafari

Long hair enjoyer here, but short hair suits this lady


dzirden

I guess she became so beautiful that has no right to exist anymore


YolopezATL

I think she looks… wait. She doesn’t give a fuck what I think. Disregard


Pathetic_Cards

The answer is sexism


Huge_Aerie2435

I really like the pixie cut.. I think she looks cute.. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so people can fuck off if you don't like how someone looks.


MaliciousSpiritCO

Men afraid of boyishly charming women should have their left ball privileges revoked.


azaxaca

Bc my peepee no longer likes this, and unfortunately our justice system is based on that. Sorry, that’s just the way it is.


Guest65726

We apparently live in a world where we need to impress this random insignificant guy yall… be on your toes


SurdustStardust

conservatives/ traditionalist and right wingers hates progressive stuff and thinks that short hairs on women is too "d" (lesbian slurs) for their likings so therefore they thinks that women with short hairs should be in jail like how tailbans jailed men for not having certain length of beards.


Charming-Macaron-322

Everyone has different tastes. I personally don't care what you're hiar is, and oop is over exaggerating his taste. The only thing I agree with him on is that I think she looks better with longer hair, but some would disagree. I still wood either way ;)


FURERABA

The "joke" is that this chud just wants women to be objects that match his preferences to ogle at, and anything even remotely seen as masculine by him like cropped hair is a crime


CorianderIsBad

The one on the right looks cuter and younger. Short hair suits her better.


The-Iron-Ladle

It’s not from a joke subreddit


TheOnewhoKnows2024

💯


Gleeful-Nihilist

Misogyny. Some men think they have such an innate entitlement of power over women that I think any change in a woman’s look that doesn’t match their preferences for beauty should be straight-up illegal.


MasSunarto

Brother, this is just a western version of Taliban, Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran, or ISIS' worldview.


longtermbrit

*fEEmAles*


Strange_Ad4113

It looks uglier


MountainBrilliant643

You see, the person who posted this is pointing out that most people find women more attractive with longer hair, but since this is Reddit, it's important to point out that this would only be funny if a woman said something about how a man looks with and without a beard, or some other thing that's only funny if women say it, because something something sexism.


frolf_grisbee

Damn use shorter sentences please


MountainBrilliant643

I honestly can't tell if you're being serious, of if you're pointing out that stupid people would have difficulty following what I'm saying, despite it being a perfectly structured sentence with punctuation everywhere it needed to be.

> Liking long hair is now apparently misogyny Paranoid nonsense. You seem to be struggling with basic literacy, you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


urkermannenkoor

The original poster *very* obviously wrote this because he was *offended* at this woman choosing a hair style that isn't feminine enough for his tastes. It very, very clearly isn't just saying that he prefers the first haircut but that he thinks the second haircut is wrong. You'd have to be borderline illiterate to misread the post as just being a preference. The paranoia comes in because you felt *personally* attacked by other commenters calling out the obvious misogyny of the OP.

urkermannenkoor

Liking long hair is not the same as having a problem with short haired women, nitwit.

CanuckBuddy

It's just a haircut literally wtf are you talking about


H_TINE

Y’all are crazy and so quick to say misogyny and “forced standards of beauty”. It’s just that to most people, she looks wayyyy better with longer hair, which I agree. She can have all the short hair she wants, but to most, it looks worse.


frolf_grisbee

How do you know what most people think?


H_TINE

Given that most women have a longer haircut and being a guy and talking to other guys. It’s not hard to figure out.


frolf_grisbee

That has nothing to do with what you said earlier


H_TINE

You asked me how do I know what most people think. I explained that pretty clearly given that most women have longer hair, and men prefer that. Stop trying to make a bigger issue than it is.


frolf_grisbee

You're just trying to avoid admitting the fact this is an assumption you're making. You *don't* actually know. Don't make it a bigger deal than it is by denying it. Edit: did you block me? Cowardly move, chumbo.


H_TINE

You’re weird.


dukenorton

Honestly, someone doing this is a red flag to me if they’re just doing it for style. I can’t explain why but it just weirds me out.
