Joan, I really respect your empathy towards hair loss sufferers, which I think is derived directly from your own experience with hair loss. Most women do not suffer from hair loss so they look around, see bald guy functioning in everyday life, and assume that it is no big deal. Yet I know that if these women were experiencing hair loss at a young age, they would most definitely be singing a different tune.
My empathy for you guys would still exist even if I weren't suffering hair loss because my older son started losing hair around his 18th birthday, two years ago, and that is affecting me far more than my own hair loss. I'm (a young!) 52, so all I can do is be sad because I'm a female losing hair. Older women don't deserve as much sympathy as those EvilLocks' age.
