Ez 16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments:thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare. 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness:yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine

It is probably pretty clear that long hair is regarded as a beautiful thing on a woman. My wife has never cut her hair and when she lets it down people will stop her and ask her about it. Even though most people would say we are overboard for teaching uncut hair people certainly seem to admire it. It is distinctly feminine. The law does command a woman not to wear a man's garment and it also describes the role of the husband and the wife. God has made distinctions between male and female.
Surely many here can see the blurring of male and female roles. I think this hair issue is much to do with this concept. To me a ladies hair and attire is just as much about gender distinction as it is modesty. Gender distinction is respecting the way God created us and the order he designed. Is it any wonder we have a crisis of gender identity confusion in this American culture.
