A Villanova student claims that shaving her head helped her confront her “hair privilege,” as well as “society’s oppressive gender norms.”

“I’m not a big fan of being oppressed, and I don’t like it,” said Yvonne Nguyen in a Facebook live video where she shaved her head on camera to Beyoncé songs. Since this article’s publication, she has taken down the video.

I've always felt oppressed by this musical. I thought it was because I just didn't like hippies, but now I know why.

I’m waiting for a suicide to protest life. After all, aren’t the living the cause of all these grievances?

I shave my head about once every 5-6 weeks, because having no hair to very short hair is much easier and faster to manage that longer hair, and also much cheaper. A bottle of Shampoo lasts more than a year.

As far as chicks who shave their heads, aside from those who do so for medical reasonw, silly libs, dykes, MMA fighters or silly, lib, dyke MMA fighters.

My shaved head is a memorial to the proud remains of a once great society of hair.

The only way I’m dating a bald chick is if she wears wigs or is an alien. Which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the protest.

And if she wears wigs, can she change them up frequently and wear wild colors some times? Like X-men’s Mystique, who could be the perfect girlfriend. At least until a month into the relationship when she complains, “Why don’t you ever like me for my blue scaley self?” And then it’s over.

Villanova, you’ve changed.

This would be par for the course at Haverford or Bryn Mawr, closer into town on the Main Line, but I would expect more from Villanova.

Perhaps she should drill a hole in her forehead to protest “Intact Skull Privilege”
