AND A WOMAN HAS TO BE VERY, VERY SECURE INDEED IN HER FUNDAMENTAL FEMININITY TO BE ABLE TO GO AROUND LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE EUROPEAN BOY.

THE SAME THING COULD BE SAID FOR MEN, WHO HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY SECURE INDEED IN THEIR FUNDAMENTAL MASCULINITY TO BE ABLE TO GO AROUND LOOKING LIKE LITTLE EUROPEAN GIRLS, WHICH SOME OF THEM DO.

AND, TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER, I WOULD SAY THERE MUST BE A LOT OF ADVANTAGES, BESIDES BEING STYLISH, TO LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE EUROPEAN BOY, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU WOULD ONLY ATTRACT THE MOST MASCULINE OF MEN.

ANY MAN WHO WORRIES ABOUT HIS MASCULINITY WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD CHASING AFTER A GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE EUROPEAN BOY.

HE STICKS WITH THE LONG-HAIRED TYPES, FEELING ALL MALE AND SECURE, ONLY HE'S REALLY NOT SECURE AT ALL IN THE SAME WAY THAT A WOMAN WITH LONG FLOWING HAIR GOES AROUND FEELING FEMALE AND SECURE, ONLY SHE'S REALLY NOT SECURE AT ALL EITHER.

AND IT'S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.

FASHION CHANGES BEING WHAT THEY ARE, SOONER OR LATER LONG HAIR IS GOING TO COME BACK, AND HERE ARE GOING TO BE ALL THESE WOMEN GOING AROUND WITH SHORT CROPPED HAIR, SMUGLY PROVING THEIR BASIC FEMININITY.

BUT I SUPPOSE THE HAIR STYLISTS WILL ACCOMMODATE TO THAT ONE PRETTY READILY.

ALL THEY'LL NEED TO SAY IS, "ANY WOMAN WHO WILL NOT WEAR HER HAIR LONG IS BASICALLY INSECURE."

OBVIOUSLY, ONLY A WOMAN WHO FEELS BASICALLY SECURE WILL HAVE THE COURAGE TO LET HER HAIR GROW AND NOT HAVE TO GO AROUND LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE EUROPEAN BOY.

AS FOR ME, I'M *M LETTING MY HAIR GROW NOW. I DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT SHORT.
