You think our culture talks about men hairdos as much as women's???????? Can I come and live on your planet? I've never heard anyone talk about Harry Reid's hair. Boehner's? His skin color, yes....it's Orange. Was RobMe's hair discussed? How the hell did I miss this???
I rarely hear discussion of anything about the physicality of the political male. Not even if the tie is a total mess. But then I don't read 'People' or the 'National Enquirer.' Is that where all this talk is going on?

Good for you. Actually, women used to pull their thin hair back into a bun and use a hair piece --

All of those you mention are men who don't have to "style" a woman's short hair cut

Well, historically, any cabinet member's hair has ALWAYS been a topic of extensive discussion.

Yeah, she had an easy "Just get up and go" style: a quick brush-through and you're on your way!
