What is the point of making up contentious stories? Just say you got a haircut. I guess getting people to comment is the point, which evidently works. I hate this version of the internet.

"I was victimized by the patriarchy, so I got a haircut"

Everything has to be a buzzfeed headline... Nobody "just does stuff" anymore. All of life's banal moments need to be presented as either a reaction or a challenge to really sell them. How else are you going to get online randos invested in your new haircut?

Ah yes, the absolute violator move of telling someone they have nice hair. I hope she survives such a harrowing assault.
