What was that all about? I didn’t really pay attention to that discourse at the time, but I heard someone use the term “man bun” recently and I wondered if it is just gender essentialism / toxic masculinity / “boys have short hair and girls have long hair” ridiculous gender norms.

I get it, you’re uncomfortable with men doing “feminine” things like putting their hair up

Idk I vaguely remember it from my college days. Maybe it was just a local thing.
