The problem is solved if the uncut thought is removed. It means men should not have shoulder length hair. That is considered long.

Letting hair grow long is letting it get to a long length, and that can include trimming if the trimming allows the hair to get longer over period of time. Ask any professional who understands hair. You can actually let it grow long by implementing trimming to ensure it doesn't break off and stay short. I know women who's hair breaks off and splits faster than it grows. So uncut hair is robbing them of having long hair.

So if shoulder length hair cannot be obtained by some woman, is she covered by it to pray or prophesy without dishonoring her head?

Here is the thing, If a lady feels comfortable trimming her hair I am not going to judge her, but as for my own family I couldn't in good conscious allow them to do that without my objection and the same from my son and I with not cutting our hair. I agree with the point you make, but I personally feel that this is more of a spiritual issue than what we know. Feminism and masculinity lines are very muddled in western culture.

The issue of hair is only an appearance issue. GLORY is an appearance thing. Beauty. But the overall issue is a veil. Paul indicates nature's veil is hair and it supports what he's trying to say about a veil on a woman. He argues from varying standpoints, and natural hair is a support for the actual veil he is discussing.

It is more spiritual and cannot be measured by rules like cutting or not. It's just what looks long or not. What people generally feel is long or not. Leave it there. Uncut makes people who can think realize there's something wrong. She can have long hair by not cutting it, sure. But that's not the only way to "have long hair."
