Shirlee Alishaa month agoI’m struggling to express why it bothers me so much when every man I’ve dated has asked me to “not cut my hair” or “grow it out.” I’m a woman who loves a chic bob and have worn it that way for almost a decade. Right now, I’m wearing my hair longer, but my partner is asking me not to cut it, even though I’ve made it clear from the beginning that I will have a bob again—it's just a matter of time. I’m trying to figure out why this bothers me so much. It’s not that my partners are controlling, but why do they feel their preference about my body should override mine? Why does this feel different from other sacrifices one might make in a relationship?130
