Cutting Hair Shameful?
"A teacher in southern Egypt punished two 12-year-old schoolgirls for not wearing the Muslim headscarf by cutting their hair, the father of one girl said on Wednesday."
Is this a similar cultural context as when Paul wrote Cor. 11?
6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Re: Cutting Hair Shameful?
I think it may be similar.

Ever get the feeling if this was 1935 the group getting spotlighted would be Jews instead of Muslims?
God help us.

In America, if the teacher did such a thing, teacher would probably lose job.

Yes, I believe it is a similar cultural context.

Re: Cutting Hair Shameful?
If my head was shaved, I would want a covering. Like Michael said, it is a shame to be shaved. They shaved the heads of foreign women, if a Jew married one.
If I lost my hair due to cancer or sickness, I would buy a wig.
I love long hair. Once in my 20;s or 30's, I had been sick a long time. My hair got brittle and broke off. I promise the Lord if He would cause my hair to grow, I wouldn't cut it. It grew almost to my waist.
Since then, my daughter and other people have tried to get me to cut my hair. I won't. because when you make a PROMISE TO GOD, you keep it.
Otherwise, since I am older and my hair is coming out, and getting thin, if it wasn't for the promise, I would probably trim my hair.
