Any men flaunting or otherwise exposing their sign of separation would be in violation of some other laws.
Your "bro's" might know, and your wife and mom but that's the extent of it.
Women, as far as I can tell, were give required to show no visible sign of separation that was not tied to things that actually had theological or practical significance and/or relevance.
