Women, Hair, and an Angry Russian

[Hazumu]

Decidedly Obscure Human Complaints

Not too long ago all women were feminine, wanted to wear dresses, cook dinner for their husbands, and have babies.

Nowadays, some women like to wear pants, some don't like cooking at all, some have no desire to procreate, some cut their hair short.

Women didn't change. Culture did. (Intrinsically, I mean, as diverse individuals with a whole range of interests and modes of expression.)

And, when culture allows it, a lot of diversity and variation come peeping through the grimy cracks.

If we took women of today and plopped them into the 40s, it would be all kinds of gender horrifying chaos. People would be calling them mentally ill, transsexuals, cross-dressers, gender rebels, on and on. Panic in the disco!
