They have themselves convinced it's just easier. Nothing is easier to deal with than long hair, just for the record. A lot of women out there who wear slacks are housewives
LOL...I am a house wife, never wear "slacks" always jeans:)
When you find yourself astride a horse or a motorcycle or a lawnmower most of the time long hair is more difficult, especially on a motorcycle:). Life style makes a big difference.
