   The reason men have short hair is because they were ordered to cut it during war, so the enemy couldn't behead them by grabbing their hair. This is where the stereotype of the bearded philosopher came from, because philosophers didn't fight in war.
   
   Here's my hot take: modern businessmen are expected to be clean shaven because work is an analog to war.
   
   Anyway this screenshot is an extremely basic Reddit take with like 6,000 updoots, which weirdly gives me hope we can still be saved.

     @alex Nooo alex, we as a society are just a bunch of numpty dumpties that go along with and accept all sorts of random silly stuff. We also like to pull stereotypes and prejudices out of our ass just to be mean to "those who are different". Don't ask how we tell who is normal and who is different or where do these silly and mean things come from originally. This is beyond a redditor's comprehension

     @alex It’s okay, Alex. Just grow your hair long. You don’t need to explain. 😘

     @alex Alexander the Great couldn’t grow a beard, so he required all of his soldiers to shave their face.
     
     And lice.
