She sounds awful. I once worked with a dude who had long hair, and all the other guys would give him shit for it.
Funny thing was, he looked great with long hair, I dunno what those guys were smoking.
But yeah, gender roles are fucking dumb. I wish people could just be who they want without this pressure.
You know, funny story about being male with long hair.
My grandparents were on a video call with my younger cousin. He's somewhere in the 11 to 13 age range right now. I can't quite remember because I haven't interacted with him in ages.
His hair is longer than my grandmother's, and they were all going on about how "handsome" he looked and how much they loved his long hair and what not.
When they got off the call with him, they were like, "He needs to get a haircut. That long hair makes him look too much like a girl!".
Mind you, quite obviously, my grandparents are viscerally transphobic and religious, and I had to cut them out over that, so it adds up.
My kid has long hair and gets misgendered ALL the time
