Agreed. In the old days also, hair was put up or cut for married women exactly because it might less attract men. Also just a symbol of sorts: “I’m taken”.
I sympathize with women getting short hair to have less to do. Men complain about women alot, but they are often the 1s who drive the whole “inconsistency” thing and what women do or don’t do. Men complain about short hair - it’s because women have too much to do. Men complain women take forever to get ready on a date, etc. - it’s because the dating woman has long hair the man desires which is hard to deal with, AND no matter what situation, women have to put on make-up. If not using the latter, men will complain the woman doesn’t look her best and doesn’t try (or even call her “ugly”).
It’s men’s desires that drive all this nonsense in truth. Meanwhile, we don’t expect that of them and they don’t have to deal with any of it. Lots of them hardly try to look their best as far as clothes, even.
