The one is an unfortunate side affect whereas the other is a choosen disregard of scripture.

I agree with you there is a difference between a man's hair and a woman's hair. Man's hair is to be "cut short" as a sheep is shorn but a woman's hair is to be long (as in a ponytail). But the concept of "uncut" never appears in scripture except for the Nazarite vow.
If we are to define long as uncut on a woman then the same definition applies to a man. Meaning, we can define short on a man as long as he continues to cut his hair as the length does not matter. As I have always been told long is not a length, it is a condition. But unfortunately we have 2 definitions of long. One for a woman which is uncut (a condition) and one for man which is short and off the collar (a length).
This is not meant to be mean spirited, but I am just making an observation. I believe if a woman decides to not cut her hair, more power to her! And I respect that. But the same applies for a woman who cuts her hair. I just don't agree with the people that says it is right or wrong to do so.
God bless
