Women Shaving Heads in Trump Protest Spark Backlash From Alopecia Patients

Some social media users have started to fight back after women are shaving their heads to protest President-elect Donald Trump's second administration.

What started as a trend on TikTok for women to shave their heads in protest of the election results has become somewhat a more sensitive topic for others with alopecia and those who had to shave their heads for diseases like cancer, conditions where baldness is not always a choice.

"To the women shaving their head for the 4B Movement, you say you're saving your head so 'men won't want you' but does that mean that men shouldn't want women that have struggled with hair loss due to alopecia or chemo?" a TikTok user @xlaurnalexis posted with a slide show of photos of her. "You're (sic) actions are very selfish and it's only effecting (sic) the women that have struggled with hair loss. Should we not be able to feel loved by a man?"

Newsweek reached out to Lauryn as well as other TikTok users on the issue.

@alyssakp1 shared a "PSA" that she is bald but not for political reasons.

"I bald because my body hates me, not because I hate men," @alyssakp1 posted. "Justice for the alopecia baddies and the hair loss community."

The trend of women shaving their heads seems to have started with Maria Barbieri, who posted under the handle @girl_dumphim. Barbieri said she woke up "feeling spicy" and used both a razor and clippers to say "**** being all the things that the patriarchy wants us to be because, clearly, they don't give a **** about us."

That would make for a great comment to these idiots.

The Left writes these articles which describe a “growing trend” and as evidence refers to a single anonymous woman on Tiktok - who cut her hair with scissors which is not “shaving her head”. There is no trend of women shaving their heads, it is media gaslighting. There are 175 million women in the US it takes more than 1 to in any sense represent a “trend”. In 92% Democrat Manhattan, not a single bald woman seen yet. OK in Crown Point but that is nothing new.

First thought this was Babylon Bee. Second thought was “why is this a story?”

"I shaved my head for Kamala Harris!"

~"Nice virtue whining while mocking those who suffer from Alopecia and cancer treatment. Did you notice that Kamala Harris didn't shave her head?"

No, this should be encouraged. Has no one seen WW2 movie shots? Where woman in now unoccupied France (etc) had their heads shaved since they collaborated with the occupying Nazis for their comfort?
Encourage the shaving. Get, tatoos, too. Whatever identifies you forever after as a cult member and idiot.
Then, shun them. Like you would a rabid dog.

So sad - that a person, any person, would mutilate their looks over hate.

(Sigh) Oh well, as the Bible says - This too shall pass.
