Whoa, I seemed to have inadvertently touched some raw nerves here. Let’s try some level-headed analysis. (Assuming you are capable of it). This discussion board is titled – “Is Short hair for Girls cute?” and NOT “Is Short hair for guys cute?” and I gave my PERSONAL opinion which I am very well entitled to despite its self-touted anachronism. (My disclaimer especially with its misspell should have caught your attention, if you were paying any).
The problem with Generation X (to which you might very well belong as suggested by your impertinence) is that it is not aware of the fact that Women’s lib, at its core, does not necessarily demand feminineness to be present at the altar of sacrifice. Shabana Azmi and Aparna Sen, two of the many women that I admire, respect and can readily think of, have managed to be very successful in their careers despite retaining their feminine self.
Running all vestiges of feminineness through a shredder ain’t gonna make a Woman inspirational. (I might, in moments of unkindness, be tempted to label such ladies ‘cross-dressers’ if not ‘transvestites’). What matters is strength of character and self-conviction that can very well happily cohabit with feminineness.
