We're standing in line for coffee when out of nowhere, I get honked.
The lady behind us reached up, wrapped me up in her grubby paw and squeezed.
"Your man bun is so soft," she says to the man to whose head I'm affixed with a black elastic hair tie. "I've never touched one before."
An innocent compliment to most, but to me this violent assault is just another example of the indignities of my existence. I'm just a bun, after all. I didn't choose to be tied to a man. Women gawk and stare. Sometimes they'll shout: "Nice man bun, baby! Men comment, too: "Your man-bun game is strong today, bro!"
Other jeers have been more violent: "Cut your hair, you stinkin' hippie!"
It's been a year since the "man bun" Ken doll was released, but I'm still triggered when I think about the onslaught of bun-shaming on Twitter:
"The new 'Man Bun' Ken doll comes with shirt, shoes and keys to Barbie's car that he's driving until he 'gets back on his feet again,'" one user quipped. "I don't even own Mattel's new man bun Ken Doll but he already told me the dangers of processed food and how Bernie would have beaten Trump," another mused.

LOL!!!!
Yep just as I thought, I didn’t want to know!
Poor little guy looks embarrassed.
Man buns are an abomination,
like those who wear them.
Better known as a douche ball
The great thing about silly hair fads is you can reverse them.
Reminds me of the commercial, guy
with a bun, dressed in a yellow sweater,
red tennis shoes, commenting on what
“a bad mamba-jamba” a certain vehicle
was.
Me, too. Took me a bit to figure out the first-person bun was doing the writing. Actually a clever technique.
A “hairest “! LOL
I will have little to say for a very long time.

True, a "man bun" can be corrected with a snip of the scissors. Years of wearing increasing sizes of gauge discs in one's ear lobes - that's going to require a good cosmetic surgeon to set right.
My wife often opines that she has less of an issue with people who do piercings, vs tattoos, since most piercings can be easily reversed (except those nausea-inducing ear things, of course)
I agree with her.
Yes, women gawk and stare at pansies wearing silly man buns.
I call them a “Dork Knob”.
He needs to alter his ‘do. Make it more like Princess Leia.
Then wimmin would be saying “Nice buns!”...
I was telling my family that a man bun is probably okay when you’re young. But just try to get a job with one of those hairdos. Maybe at Starbucks?
LOL!
We have got to meet, maybe at the next FR get together.
And judging by your screen name. I may be wrong, but thank you for your service.
Wow, I bet that edition is worth some very large dollars.
