So, I think the point of them saying that they “wish they were ugly” is so they don’t get sexually harassed anymore. I 100% see what you’re saying, but I also see what they’re saying. Women in our culture are often viewed as “objects” & judge only by that. Men can get away with a lot more varied body types because they aren’t objectified even close to the point that we women are. I used to get objectified until after I had kids. Pregnancy with my kids pretty much mangled my body & I’m now “too fat” for most men to be interested in. Honestly, it’s been pretty freeing. No more sexual harassment…. No more having to try & get a guy who’s “fantasizing” about me to fuck off in a way that doesn’t piss him off & come after me for saying “no” or ghosting him. I can walk around without worrying about it. Please know that it’s not the women who would like to go about their lives without getting stalked that are the problem. Nor is it the 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt who don’t fit within the “standard” category of what our society has deemed “acceptable” for beauty. It’s perpetuated misogyny that we have been fighting against for years that is the problem.
I think it would come down to practical requirements vs status. Men, historically and in the 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt, end up doing the most dangerous, physically labour intensive and hazardous jobs. That comes with risk of hair getting caught, grabbed, filled with hazardous pests/ substances, fire, etc Men in the past have had long hair, though they tended to be the top 15% of wealth/blood line power. (And would they do jobs that require short hair? Highly unlikely) Women face the same issues when it comes to dangers, but historically and in the modern era, much more infrequently/ rarely. Long hair by a lot of society (when kept clean, styled, presented) is seen as having a beauty quality. Historically, Being able to have really long hair in such a way, indicates wealth, health and societal position – having the time to maintain it, not facing the dangers to have the requirements for short hair, or in the least, having living conditions that enable the 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt of self-care/grooming. I do think there is a case to be made for industrialisation, mechanisation and the spike in demand for mass production/efficiency in the 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt that has cut away at the needs and requirements / views and perspectives people have for hair styles and gender norms. I think it is vastly more complex, nuanced and interlinked than the original post depicts. I certainly don’t think people ‘just went along with it’. It implies that a unilateral decision was made at some point (which is unrealistic) and the first statement is an 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt. It discards the 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt that there, are in-fact, reasonable explanations, for the 22 years 2001 2023 Harry Potter member thank you for the memories signatures shirt of trends/norms.

Irish people were also not considered to be properly “white” at the time they were discriminated against. People forget that little tidbit when they decide to use that fact to defend slavery. It’s something that’s very relevant today whenever you hear someone say “but I can’t be racist against hispanic people because they’re white!” The dictionary definition of “white person” and the societal perception of “white person” are different things, and the latter has shifted wildly over time. I don’t envy the person who’s sitting around in 2100 explaining to people that actually mexicans weren’t considered to be “white” back in 2020.
