20 years ago when I would post at various hair websites I had numerous themes I talked about. One of them was my insistence that the superficiality and selfishness of women is part of the problem when it comes to men losing their hair. I would complain that women would lie and say that bald men would the same big studs without their hair that they were when they had their hair if they stopped letting their hair loss bother them. I would complain that women would say it's all in our mind and that if hair loss didn't bother us we would be just fine. I used to complain that women would say that men do not need hair and they would say how women like us whether we have hair or not. I would complain that the women were lying and that women are actually very superficial and shallow.
You would not believe the abuse I took for saying that stuff. Yup, the women complained about me saying that stuff.
BUT IT WAS MOSTLY THE MEN WHO GOT AFTER ME FOR SAYING THAT STUFF.
The men would go into auto-pilot woman-protection mode. I would just be stating the truth as I saw it, women would complain a little about the stuff I was saying, and when the men saw that the women were offended by what I was saying they (the men) would tear into me with some unbelievably ugly stuff. I still just kept saying that same stuff and 99% of the guys back then kept getting after me for saying that stuff. It was nothing but male-chivalry, woman-protecting bs coming from them. I used to tell them how weak they were for defending people (women) who deserved to be scolded for being too superficial and selfish. I used to tell them how weak they were for defending people (women) who's immoral attitudes were part of the reason that hair loss was damaging men's lives so much. I used to tell them that they were giving women a rock to hide under when instead they should have been helping me reprimand women. But they were in circle-the-wagons (around women) male-chivalry mode.
It seems to me that today the younger men with hair loss are saying a lot of the same things that I was saying back then. I give the young bald men credit for that. I don't think they should be rude about it but I do think that it is appropriate to tell women that if women didn't favor the attractive men with full heads of hair then a lot less men would be depressed about hair loss. I think it's appropriate to tell women that they aren't the morality sheriff's that they think they are...that their selfishness and superficiality is far from moral perfection. I think it's appropriate to tell women that they're causing a lot of suffering...even some suicides, because of their selfishness and superficiality. I think it's appropriate to tell them this stuff because it's true. And I'm glad that a lot of younger men perceive that truth. The men at hair loss websites 20 years ago were such chivalrous auto-pilot women-protectors that they were incapable of even examining these issues.
I do believe that men should be allowed to raise these issues with women in a civil and polite manner. I really think that women spend too much time taking men's moral inventory. I think women would be better served to start taking their own moral inventory...if they want to grow into better people.
Superficiality of women doesn't make bald men any more attractive. If I was a women, there is no way in hell I'd have anything to do with a bald guy.
