Return of Kings: Beware the insidious danger of the short-haired girl!

Hideous short-haired monster Jean Seberg poses with adorable mouse.

Having previously taken on such dire threats to Western Civilization as “fat girls,” “manginas,” and “rape tourettes,” the pickup-artists-cum-worldly-philosophers over at Roosh Valizadeh’s Return of Kings blog have decided to take on an even more insidious danger: Women — sorry, girls — with short hair.

In an alarming expose, guest blogger Tuthmosis reveals the shocking tuth, er, truth:

No woman in all of human history has ever looked better with short hair than she would with a head full of healthy locks.

So why are so many women choosing to cut off the long hair that men so universally admire (allegedly)? Tuthmosis has a few theories. One is that other women are convincing them to do it so that they can have all the short-hair-hating men to themselves. Yep. It’s hair sabatoge!

Women are quick to encourage other women to cut their hair by telling them how “cute” it is. While I’m no scientist, I’m convinced this is some deep, genetic programming at work, one that forces women—who compete with one another on a physical level on a daily basis—to encourage any behavior that might eliminate competitors in the dating pool.

And straight men contribute to this sorry state of affairs, too. Well, “cowardly and deluded men” anyway, according to Tuthy — though why exactly being “cowardly and deluded” would cause men to encourage women to cut their hair is never quite explained.

Tuthy also blames gay men, who apparently have the power to sway the minds of women en masse.

The plaudits a Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, or Anne Hathaway receive when they cut their hair off—from people who have no business commenting on the attractiveness of women, like gay men—creates a copycat cycle that increases the trend geometrically.

So what exactly is the problem with short hair? Don’t get Tuthy started on that!

Seriously, don’t get him started, because what he says makes no fucking sense.

The truth of the matter is that long hair’s almost universally attractive to men, when they’re actually speaking honestly (without trying to appease women in the room). Furthermore, it’s a symbol of youth, femininity, and health. Why can’t old women grow long hair? Because it’s an ephemeral trait of your fertile years.

Really?

Women instinctively know this, which is why every American girl who cuts, and keeps, her hair short often does it for ulterior reasons. Short hair is a political statement.

A political statement of what? A political statement that she won’t put up with assholes like you?

And, invariably, a girl who has gone through with a short cut—and is pleased with the changes in her reception—is damaged in some significant way. Short hair is a near-guarantee that a girl will be more abrasive, more masculine, and more deranged.

Ah, ok. So it does mean that she won’t put up with assholes like you.

I’d developed that belief on years of platonic interactions alone. The bitchiest work colleagues, the most difficult cashier, the most confrontational, aggressive cunts in bars have all shared one trait—short-ass hair.

Yep, it definitely means that.

Tuthy then relates the horrors he faced during his own brief experiences dating women with short hair.

One had rape fantasies and used four-letter words! (These are your complaints? The guy who runs the blog you’re posting on is an actual admitted rapist, and you yourself just used the word “cunt.”)

Another used racial slurs and later got an unflattering “soccer mom” haircut! (Racial slurs? I mean, that’s a dealbreaker for me, but you’re writing for a blog that’s crawling with out-and-proud racists. Aren’t racial slurs right up your alley?)

Yet another jerked him off while texting! (You’re not going to at least give her credit for her manual dexterity?)

He concludes with this:

Not only is short-hair unattractive, it’s one of the biggest signals a man can get that a woman is damaged beyond repair.

In other words, short hair on women appears to repel a certain kind of asshole. Make use of that information as you wish.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh dear. Apparently Tuthy’s dumb post was so dumb and offensive it managed to “go viral”” and generate a ton of hate-traffic for Return of Kings. Roosh, naturally, has decided to try to fan the flames with a “publisher’s note” reiterating Tuthy’s, er, “argument” and helpfully revealing to his new readers what a shithead he is.

Here are some quotes, along with some photos to remind us just who it is who is lecturing women about their hairstyles.

 

Sadly, the women who are blasting us right now with vulgar speech and masculine manner are treading the line of self-mutilation with their pixie cuts. If you know a girl who has voluntarily chopped off such a reliable indicator of female beauty and fertility, nothing short of an intervention with all family and friends is necessary to force the victim to grow her hair back out.

I part now with a message of hope. Women: unless you have a smushed pig face, your attractiveness increases at least 6% for every inch your hair passes your shoulders. Don’t listen to people who are trying to sabotage your beauty by encouraging you to adopt a lesbian haircut.

We are the only ones who will be brutally honest with you. We are not shy to state where objective female beauty comes from, unlike the saboteurs in your life who are just trying to make it harder for you to find a good husband.

 

roosh-v-seems-more-like-douche-v

 

And for those of you especially sick women who think that you are going to punish us by cutting your hair, you’re only punishing yourself. Being lonely and having to settle for a brood of cats is not a good life for a woman, but that’s what will happen if you keep your hair short.

Dude, my grandma had waist-length iron-grey wavy hair until the day she died at 91. She used to roll it up into a big bun at the nape and hold it in place with two combs, as German ladies of a certain vintage are wont to. Damned if I can figure out how she did it. She was very quick at it, too.

Meanwhile, my mom went the opposite route…wore short hair pretty much as soon as she was allowed to make her own tonsorial choices. She had it that way when she met my dad, who never saw her any other way, and never had a problem with it. And they went on to have six of us.

So much for the “fertile years” canard.

When I have a crush on someone I keep a list by my desk of all the great things about being single. It keeps me balanced and is innocuous enough to be unidentifiable to a colleague. Does this mean I get to add short hair to the list? If the list gets much longer I’ll never have a relationship again.

I love having short hair. Scares away some guys but I’d rather have cats and short hair than a guy who makes me g

Do you know anyone there who speaks ASL who can tell the asshole off for you? Also! Just in case you want to tell him to fuck off yourself.

If anyone despises you because of your hair style they probably aren’t worth it anyway.

DUDE. It is DEAD FUCKING PROTEIN. It does not have the power to change her whole personality.

Also, associating “masculine” with “abrasive” and “deranged” tells me pretty much everything I need to know about YOUR manhood. Misandry: PUAs do it best.

My hair is currently the longest I’ve had it my whole life (just to below my shoulders) but I generally wear it pulled back and up into a shaggy bun, so from the front it looks kind of short anyway. Gosh, long hair that looks deceptively short, and deliberately so = MISANDRY!!

As for older women not being able to wear long hair, can I just say: Emmylou Harris. If I thought my greying hair could look as good as her magnificent silvery mane, I’d let it grow out instead of continuing to colour it (which is frankly a pain in the rear).

And I die a little inside every time I watch Rosemary’s Baby, because Mia Farrow’s pixie cut in that slays me with its adorableness. It’s like her features just go BAM! when she gets all her hair cut off – how could anyone deny that??

As to long hair being a sign of youth and passivity, one of my great grandmothers had hair so long that there was still brown hair at the ends, though she had been silver for decades. I only saw it down when she brushed it and then put it back in a giant bun on her head. I’ve only ever seen hair that long in person one other place. That was on a hippy chick I knew who’s hair brushed the ground when she walked. Grandma was a Depression hardened woman that was known as a “tough old bird” in her time and at one point was known as the Queen of _______ Ave. for being so fierce and uppity.
I guess she didn’t get the memo that her hair made her demure. If she was alive today, I’d sooner tangle with a tiger than with her. …and tigers have short hair.

::high five:: My mum did exactly the same! She chopped her plaits off the minute she could (long plaits were woefully unfashionable in the 1940s). Her mother had always claimed granddad liked Mum to have her hair long, but Mum’s suspicion is that he neither knew nor cared, lol.

Shocking fact: the woman my father left Mum for had short hair too. As had the sixteen-year-old he’d been screwing a decade earlier.

I’m reminded of a couple of girls I knew in high school who had hair flowing down to their bums. This was in the 80s, mind, when a lot of girls – including me – were buzzing their hair short, dying it various colours,etc, so it really stood out as being quite old-fashioned. I was once told that their father had forbidden them to cut it short, because he felt girls/women were more attractive with long hair. Even then I thought that was a bit of a weird and creepy attitude – now it makes me feel totally squicked out.

Ew. It’s creepy enough when random internet dudes try to give you advice on how to be attractive, far more so if it’s your dad.

Ugh, me too. Luckily, my dad never had any hair-related opinions to cram down my impressionable young throat. What’s even more squicky for me is finding out that fundie-Mormon polygamist patriarchs had this same fetish. All the women in that creepy cult have the same hairstyle, even little girls of 10 or 12. And those get married off to much older men as soon as they start to menstruate.

Maybe this is what I need to keep me from envying those who can grow their hair to that length. Mine stops when it gets just past my shoulders, for reasons unknown.

I hope he washes it more often than the hair on his head, because otherwise he’s going to leave stains on seats.

When my littlest girl wanted to cut her hair short I was told by beauticians, “It’s so cool that you’re letting her do this”, as if it was a big deal. Luckily, we found an amazing punk hair dresser that can turn any request into reality and does just what the kids want with their hair. Despite what Douche thinks, my youngest is all about pink and glam and sparkles. She wears glitter in her hair and giant bows, but she likes exactly what she likes, not what she is told to like. Fem + glam does not = malleable.

I saw the most wonderful hair colour today – deep crimson with hints of black streaks, straight and just shoulder-length. Looked amazing.

I also saw a gorgeous crimson/burgundy fedora, worn by a woman. Must have been Stunning Crimson Stuff morning. 🙂

This is the dumbest thing ever. Good thing breathing is an involuntary function, or the author of this idiocy would be fucked.

Nice pic of Roosh and his girlfriend.

If my hair/tats/lobe of four letter words, etc., keeps dudes like this away, I’m never growing my hair out again.
