Is it bigoted that the military/police/fire have different hair standards for men/women??

[bucs90]

The libs have a point folks. It's time to remove all the constraints of gender in public services.

Military, police and fire departments all have the same basic hair grooming standards. Usually short on sides for men. Neat and shoulder length for women. Shaved in boot camp for men. Neat and shoulder length for women.

So....in respect for fairness....shouldn't women in these services now be held to the same hair grooming standards as the men???

Oil up those buzz clippers ladies.

Oh wait....are we back to gender specific differences now??? Or will male Marines and cops now get to have pony tails?

Not really.

So again.....is it bigoted that the Marines and LAPD and FDNY all have different hair grooming standards for men and women? Or that males get a buzz cut in boot camp but not women??

When can male Marines start having shoulder length hair?

How is it NOT bigoted???? It's a completely different standard based on gender which is strictly cosmetic. That's the definition of gender bias isn't it???

So much for the theory that assholes like you were going to naturally die out and leave us in peace. Your fellow bigots were warning everyone of the threat of co-ed restrooms during the 70's when the Equal Rights Amendment was being debated. Funny how the bathroom thing remains critical on lots of small minds.
I'm sure you're not in the military and have no plan to be, so BUTT OUT, why don't you?

Until you can adequately explain why it's a false comparison, we can just assume you have no effective argument to counter Bucs position.

Translation: You can't answer this obvious example of the current left wing ideals being applied to all gender rules.

So again....justify how these establishments can mandate different standards on men and women....based only on cosmetic appearance.

 

[bucs90]

Black female Marines can have this hair cut. WHY CAN'T BLACK MALE MARINES???

 

[bucs90]

One can have a ponytail. The other cant.

Bigotry.

there is a accepted standard for both sexes if a woman wants to shave her head in the lapd or the fdny she has that choice .
here is one example of military hair regulations Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative.

Male Hair Standards

Male haircuts will conform to certain standards. The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. The hair must present a tapered appearance. A tapered appearance is one where the outline of the soldier's hair conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to the natural termination point at the base of the neck. The hair will not fall over the ears or eyebrows, or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block-cut fullness in the back is permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is maintained.

In all cases, the bulk or length of hair may not interfere with the normal wear of headgear, protective masks, or equipment. Males are not authorized to wear braids, cornrows, or dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted, individual parts of hair) while in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized.

Males will keep sideburns neatly trimmed. Sideburns may not be flared; the base of the sideburn will be a clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening.

Males will keep their face clean-shaven when in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Mustaches are permitted. If mustaches are worn, they will be neatly trimmed, tapered, and tidy. Mustaches will not present a chopped off or bushy appearance, and no portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip line or extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corners of the mouth. Handlebar mustaches, goatees, and beards are not authorized. If appropriate medical authority prescribes beard growth, the length required for treatment must be specified. For example, "The length of the beard will not exceed ¼ inch." Soldiers will keep the growth trimmed to the level specified by appropriate medical authority, but they are not authorized to shape the growth into goatees, or "Fu Manchu" or handlebar mustaches.

Males are prohibited from wearing wigs or hairpieces while in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty, except to cover natural baldness or physical disfiguration caused by accident or medical procedure. When worn, wigs or hairpieces will conform to the standard haircut criteria.

Female Hair Standards

Female soldiers will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the length and bulk of the hair are not excessive, and that the hair does not present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Likewise, trendy styles that result in shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline) or designs cut into the hair are prohibited. Females may wear braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the head, and any holding devices comply with the standards. Dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts of hair) are prohibited in uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any time during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the bottom edge of the collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, so no free-hanging hair is visible. This includes styles worn with the improved physical fitness uniform (IPFU).

Styles that are lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited. Ponytails, pigtails, or braids that are not secured to the head (allowing hair to hang freely), widely spaced individual hanging locks, and other extreme styles that protrude from the head are prohibited. Extensions, weaves, wigs, and hairpieces are authorized only if these additions have the same general appearance as the individual's natural hair. Additionally, any wigs, extensions, hairpieces, or weaves must comply with grooming policies.

Females will ensure that hairstyles do not interfere with proper wear of military headgear, protective masks, or equipment at any time. When headgear is worn, the hair will not extend below the bottom edge of the front of the headgear or below the bottom edge of the collar.

Hair-holding devices may be used only for securing the hair. Soldiers will not place hair-holding devices in the hair for decorative purposes. All hair-holding devices must be plain and of a color as close to the soldier's hair as is possible or clear. Authorized devices include, but are not limited to, small, plain scrunchies (elastic hair bands covered with material), barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber bands, and hair bands. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive or decorative are prohibited. Some examples of prohibited devices include, but are not limited to, large, lacy scrunchies; beads, bows, or claw clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies, flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and bows made from hairpieces.

nothing bigoted at all.

You don't want male marines to have ponytails, you dream of making female marines shave their heads. Serve them right for joining This Man's Army. Right, bucs?

And we're right back in the potty, I see.

another chronic false assumer.
your opinion on what's adequate is meaningless ...
thanks for playing.
who the fuck is we?

Nosism, from the Latin nos, "we", is the practice of using the pronoun "we" to refer to oneself when expressing a personal opinion.
