Considering their criticism appears to be unbelievably personal and not at all based on anything stylistic, I'm gonna have to side with the upset one. That thread was on unbelievably sexist and showed a level of entitlement to have women all look the way you want them that I've never ever seen before.

Can you genuinely imagine them reacting the same way to a woman posted that she will be dumping her boyfriend if he grows any facial hair that she personally does not approve of or does not get his haircut exactly to her specifications every single month? They'd be screaming about their own ability of self-determination and how dare a woman suggest that her personal belief of what is attractive should determine any man's action

jesus Christ SRD. Believing this to be sexist doesn't make me from SRS, please stop lying about what is in this thread, it's literally linked here. Gas lighting is sad

Personally I find it really un attractive. Very rarely have I seen an attractive women with short hair.

There's nothing wrong with saying "I like x on a women" and it's not sexist to say that type of stuff. We all have things were attracted to and things that are un attractive to us.

Would I break up with my gf if she cut her hair short? No. Would I find her less attractive? Yup. And there's nothing wrong with that, you can't go against human nature and pretend like you like something you don't.

They aren't saying they like X on women. Theyre saying that if you don't do X you are unfuckable filth who should be downvoted to -24 even defending your ability to get your haircut at a level you choose

These are the top-level comments regarding short hair on that thread that she seems to be responding to:

>Eh, cutting her hair short would be enough for me to get outta there, all that other stuff combined and there's no way this relationship survives.

>Cutting her hair is bad enough already.

There's also:

>I happen to like short hair on women so the loss of hair wouldn't bother me (even going bald is perfectly fine).

>Guys clothing and short hair, I can get along with well.

These are comments in the thread she started:

>Yeah, I think that's really weird. I think short hair, even buzzed hair, looks good on women. >This seems more like you trying to validate a decision you've made rather than anything else

>That really explains the breakdown you're having here in the comments. Did you not know beforehand most men, like me, found the short hair pretty butch?

>If you like your short hair then own it, stop trying to convince people that they're wrong for disliking your style, because fans of the short hair are a minority.

>The reality is that very few women can pull off short hair.

>As a guy that looooves short-haired women, ignore this man.

>I agree. Can be. It doesn't work out that way most of the time. No hostility or disrespect meant. Just expressing an honest opinion.

>Most men I know including myself see short hair as masculine, and I don't want to date a guy

I don't know in what world you're thinking that those comments come anywhere near the language you're characterizing it as. "Unfuckable filth." Please. Some of these are mildly rude, at worst. Jesus, this is the most intellectually dishonest comment I've ever seen on this sub and it's even more pathetic since it's so easy to see how grossly you've caricatured their statements.

Now why don't you show the votes. Saying you don't want to fuck a man which is literally one of the ones you've quoted isn't based on style, it's based on them being "fuckable"

The most upvotes for any of those quotes is:

>"Short hair can be attractive" I agree. Can be. It doesn't work out that way most of the time. No hostility or disrespect meant. Just expressing an honest opinion.

In what world is this full of vitriol? In what world is this saying she's not "fuckable" to every guy out there?

There are tons of threads on /r/AskWomen or /r/sex where women say they're not attracted to short guys and none of their friends are either. Or they just don't like small penises and none of their friends do either. Guys complain and we ALWAYS criticize those guys for complaining about those women's preferences, as we should. You shouldn't get so upset about someone's preferences unless they're directly insulting you. Nothing up there is an insult no matter how much you want to characterize it like that. It's all a description of their own personal preferences. Perhaps they've overstepped their bounds saying most men like long hair because they really don't know but that's hardly "vitriol."

No, this is just flat out a lie and now I'm thinking you must be a troll account. You're trotting out obvious lies each of which we can all go check on in 30 seconds. Pretty pathetic.

Here's the highest rated (27 points):

>Women love to tell other women that their "pixie" ( man-boy) hair cuts look "cute". The reality is that very few women can pull off short hair.

Maybe overstating his claim because he doesn't know but this is a far cry from calling her "unfuckable filth" as you claimed earlier.

Next highest (21 points): >Short hair can be very attractive. I agree. Can be. It doesn't work out that way most of the time. No hostility or disrespect meant. Just expressing an honest opinion.

The one you're referencing (16 points): >This seems more like you trying to validate a decision you've made rather than anything else.

Not only is the quote you're referencing not the highest upvoted comment like you said it was, it doesn't even mean the same thing that you've said it does. It's talking about the fact that she felt upset by two top-level comments expressing a personal dislike for short hair even though other top-level comments express a preference for it. No one cares if she has short hair or not. They're not going to be in a relationship with her. They're talking about their own preferences.

Must be? Certifiably is though, it's entertaining to get it riled up and see her predictable reactions. She's trying to strongarm the conversation that actually happened into her own twisted feminist centric view. "Im a strong independent woman who doesnt need the patriarchy to define me, my value, or what I will become by how I choose to wear my hair! First it's the hair, then it's my right to vote!" Lol. When it's really more like "Eh, I dont like short hair. I prefer long hair as most women cant pull it off but to each their own"

There are reasons for preferences and people are asking about them.

Short hair makes him think of a dude. It was put bluntly, a reference to his own associations. How else should he put it?

"I don't want to have sex with a short hair girl because it makes me feel slightly more like I am having sex with a dude".

Same for the guy who said it was a man-boy haircut. It's blunt and to the point. But people want to know what these men think.

He's responding to the question with "when I see short haired women, I'm put off sexually because they look more manly to me"

He's not saying, "hey everyone, look at this short haired man-beast"

Aaaaaaand now hopefully people can see why I don't want to argue with you. I think everyone should stop arguing with this crazy person. She might be clicking on some other thread as far as I can tell.

Or she has amazing reading in between the lines ability.

A word of advice from a man to a women: have an opinion, but don't let your opinion have you.

You're so obsessed with being right that you completely threw out all logic to make your points with lies. It's a very bad way to live a life. Have the opinion, don't let it have you.

I love how you completely lied in the last post to, just goes to show the type of person I'm dealing with.

With that I see no point of arguing with someone who is going to use lies to backup their opinion. It's a very unintelligent way to debate any topic.

Next thing you know your next post is going to be "they called her literally hitler for having short hair" nah not arguing with you.

She is litterally being told her happiness/choice in having short hair is a rationalization (and is downvoted and told no when she says otherwise) and she's going against the "typical male" preference. All of which is complete bullshit. Askmen acts like neckbeard cosmo when it comes to advice like this.

No they're not.

They're saying that the reason she's arguing against them and saying that short hair is attractive to everyone is because she has short hair. Hence their rationalizing comments.

They're saying that THEY find short hair unattractive. No one in there said "every single guy hates short hair". That's the entire issue, she's trying to convince people that don't find short hair attractive that it's actually attractive.

It's like me saying that fat girls aren't attractive and a fat girl running in and trying to convince me that they actually are attractive. It doesn't work that way, the human brain doesn't work that way. What someone finds and doesn't find attractive can't be debated.

I find fat girls and girls with short hair unattractive. What do you want me to do about it?

How does this get upvotes? This is completely wrong.

Presumably you're referring to this: >This seems more like you trying to validate a decision you've made rather than anything else.

Pretty clearly they're saying that her need to come and say "Wow, look at all this vitriol" based on these top-level comments:

>Eh, cutting her hair short would be enough for me to get outta there, all that other stuff combined and there's no way this relationship survives.

>Cutting her hair is bad enough already.

when these top-level comments also exist:

>I happen to like short hair on women so the loss of hair wouldn't bother me (even going bald is perfectly fine).

>Guys clothing and short hair, I can get along with well.

No one cares about her decision. She can feel free to have short hair, no hair, long hair, whatever she pleases. They're simply talking about the fact that she seemed to take offense to two comments that express a preference against short hair even when there's multiple comments that say they do like short hair. Even the top-level comments that express the poster's dislike of short hair have less upvotes than the posts talking about liking/being fine with short hair.

You're so asinine no one wants to argue with you. You really had the nerve to just cherry pick comments from the thread that I read prior to even entering the thread and go off on your contrarian tirade defending the sub with them. You even had the nerve to assume what I thought on each one. You're entitled to your opinion that they weren't that bad in there but I definitely got a different view after reading that thread.

I don't care about your view on the drama from the narrow comments your willing to explain in my stead. I'm here to point out and laugh at drama. You're not going to convert anyone to your limited and apparently "right" (what the fuck does that even mean in a context so vague and opinionated?) mindset by being an overly dense contarian.
