030 Short Hair, DO Care! Talking Hair, Gender, and the Patriarchy, with Marine!
We collab with our dear, darling friend Marine from A Privileged Vegan and The Vegan Vanguard podcast about our hair journeys; an episode years in the making!
Poppin Off
This week we go off about the ableist, classist and individualistic responses to the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, as well as discussing the body policing he experienced while he was still alive.
Joke
What kind of bird never needs a haircut? (Thanks, Tara!)
Main Topic: Talking short hair, gender and The Patriarchy with Marine!
This week we do a long anticipated collaboration with our dear friend Marine about our various hair journeys and how we feel our hair reflects (or doesn’t) our gender. We pull some great quotes and history facts from the resources linked below, and then dive into our very different experiences. Nichole has found freedom and gender euphoria through her buzzed head; Marine was challenged by the endless policing around her look and ended up not enjoying having short hair as much as she hoped, which created a lot of feminist conflict for her; and Callie speaks on her experience as someone who grew up in a larger body and therefore felt a lot of pressure to have long, feminine hair and obey “fashion rules” about what cut looks good on what face.

* Laurie Penny on hair: Why patriarchy fears the scissors – for women, short hair is a political statement (New Statesman)* FASHION HISTORY LESSON: THE BOB HAIRCUT, FEMINISM’S ULTIMATE STYLE STATEMENT (Fashionista)* Now You Know: How Did Long Hair Become a Thing for Women? (Time)
