dannyboy you just dont get it
hair loss has negative stigma far outweighing that of anything else, perhaps being really short is the only other physical aspect that approaches it. but even then you can move to asia, you can't do that with hair loss. (assuming no VERY RARE AND MAJOR defects such as elephantiasis, which is what the elephant man had, or significant burns)
its not even just media that promotes a negative stigma for hair loss, all throughout history cultures have put down those with hair loss. did you know in the ancient middle east hair loss was seen as a public display of a man losing his virility? ironically thats basically partially what it symbolizes, the whole point of hair loss is to make you look older
and if you are honestly complaining about ridiculed for being too tall than the conversation ends here . . . . . . . thats like trying to insult someone for having a lot of money, its something POSITIVE
theres no negative stigma for long hair either, in fact among young people and the rock music crowd its a very POSITIVE trait.
its pretty much neutral for anyone else. except its perhaps considered "rebellious" by the older folks. (and most young people in general like being considered rebellious anyways)
