Re: DO YOU BELIEVE IN SHORTER HAIR FOR OLDER WOME
The idea of short hair on older women is not new but I personally think it is a sign of "ageism". Theory is and the testimony of a few, that the "too old" idea was used by older women to badger the more attractive women among their peers who were not thin haired and pickety looking, but rather had a thick head of hair with a good length that caught "the old men's (and a few of the young men's eyes too...)... to cut their hair off so that they would no longer be a threat!!! They were told, "Shame on you...trying to be young...you know you are too old for that.. and you need to look more "respectable!" Church women were the worst. Even though the Bible says that long hair is the woman's crowning glory. And the younger women somehow felt that the older women had had their day and it is now their turn,(Oh the presumptiousness of youth!)... so they just need to step aside and let us take the stage and labelled the older women with long hair as "hags, witches, ridiculous, crazy, wild haired, lunatic...etc. It was really vicious!...but thank goodness, we have gotten beyond that. As for me, I will hopefully be swinging it at ninety, (very gracefully of course, and in a dignified way of course!) and when you know you look beautiful, your skin and eyes tend to reflect that. The most sour, sagging looking women I have seen are tnose who have abdicated their femininity and remaining youth, and any signs of sexuality to just be content to be the command babysitter for the kids and mothering husbands that still want to act like little boys! It is like they have taken the veil and gotten them to a nunnery...so to speak. It is nice to know that today women can look beautiful with short hair and with long hair and no longer need society's permission or approval. Like what do you do to someone who is older and decides she loves her hair long to the waist or butt...Put her on an ice flow?...
