Two questions for Freeatlast...
How do you define LONG hair?
Do you think that God sees hair length as a witness that differentiates the males and females among humans?

No, it was the beard.

Both men and women have hair that grows and grows*, but only men have beards.

(*although if left completely to nature, a woman's hair will generally get much longer and be fuller than most men's... even in the hippie days, a man with waist-length hair was unusual... most of the men had to be content with shoulder-length)

So Quiet...
you do not see LONG hair as something that pertains to a woman?

Longer, yes. I mentioned the hippie days... if a man did have waist-length hair, the comment was usually something like - "Wow, his hair looks like a woman's."

If both men and women let their hair grow as long as it could get, most women would have much longer and thicker hair. Most men would have shoulder-length, and it would be rather thin. Of course, there are exceptions, but it's the general rule.

Men tend to go bald, women usually don't. My grandparents - grandfather is almost completely bald, grandmother still has a thick head of hair.

I think "hair" in general is a woman thing. If a man gets cancer, has to take chemo, and loses his hair, it's not that noticeable, he won't get odd stares in public. If a woman does, everyone feels so badly for her, and she will get stares in public. Women cancer patients tend to wear wigs or scarves. Men don't.

Beautiful, glorious hair is a woman thing. Fairly long is usually a part of that.
