Why Is It OK For Women To Talk About a Man’s Balding?
Dr. Rassman / Dr. Pak,
Oops… faux pas! Why is it considered socially acceptable for women to openly discuss a man’s balding pate, often at some length and in excruciating detail, but should a man happen to discreetly mention to a woman, ‘Your butt looks a bit big in that dress’, he can confidently expect to be crucified?!
Good humour might not be the panacea but surely it’s a constituent.
Happy Easter!
Redesigned NHI website is excellent!
I’m not going to claim to completely comprehend why some topics are more socially acceptable to talk about than others. Perhaps men are expected to be less sensitive and able to take criticism of their appearance. Any sociology majors out there have a theory to add?
Your observation about men and women is noted. And thanks for your kind words about our redesigned site.
This is true – it is open season on white, bald men. But try to crack wise about an obese woman and you are done for…These days, Political Correctness protects everyone but us baldies…
Maybe one day, being bald will put us in the “visible minority” category and then greater social sensitivity, as well as job opportunities, will appear!
Get on this, Government of Canada!
