I find it disturbing that society finds it normal for a woman to sport long hair, but frowns upon males who have them. Workplace etiquette and uniforms in major corporations need males to have their hair trimmed short and combed like Adolf Hitler, while all the women can wave their glorious locks all over our faces. What kind of bullshit are we dealing with here? I agree with disallowing of visible tattoos, generous amount of piercings or oddly-styled or coloured hair, but hair length should be no criteria for employment. As long a man doesn't look like a hobo carrying a weaver bird nest on his head, that particular part of his appearance should be ignored as much as the density of his 1-day stubble.
PS: This rant came to mind since I've been growing my hair for the past 7 months, and don't want to face any of this bullshit. Hopefully, since I am not planning to be a corporate sellout, but rather a scientist, nobody will question my dressing sense. In fact, I am supposed to forget brushing/shaving/personal hygiene for the sake of science. Hell yeah!
