Shit's all sorts of different now.

The question is quite simple: Do we like short hair on women? And the answer is quite predictable: No, we do not. It seems masculine and practical and deliberately asexual. We like the conventionally feminine. Sorry. We can't help this. And there's no sense in lying about it.

Letter to the Editor:

Eff you. My cheekbones are high and defined and most women would kill to be able to have the features I do to pull of shorter hair. You don't like it, don't look at me. But I'll bet you can't not.

Signed, Has Short Hair and is VERY Feminine.

PS. Jackass.

Good Morning!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If not, I can lend you mine for a while if you would like, to help entertain JZ while she is taking it easy.

That's thoughtful, Lee. Why don't you bring them up on Sunday. I expect JZ is going to be sitting around for at least several days next week, if not more.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I will do that.

I wish I were closer so that I could come and help and give love and cook lovely vegetarian things so that JZ AND David could rest.

I'll just have to send virtual love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dear Russell Smith,

No, length doesn't always matter: There isn't a hair length around that could make you physically attractive, and now your emotional unattractiveness is a matter of public record.

Oh, wait, were you talking about me?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRED PETE!

Clearly, none of you are real women, or else you would know you are supposed to have moveable hair.

Speaking of which, I have a haircut scheduled for today. I should wash some clothes so I can go.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If he's right, and length matters, when do we get to see a pic of his penis?

I woke up this morning into a massive headache, feeling like I'd been hit in the head and my shoulders in great pain. It's backed off a bit now, but this is no fun. My first thing to do today is acupuncture, which I can just drive to. My second thing is teaching, so acupuncture had better work.
