Interesting bit, Road Raven - I've just gotten that 'feeling' for the first couple of times now - the gay vibe, feeling some gals projecting this on me.

Whether these gals are gay or straight gals thinking I'm gay, or whatever -
isn't it stupid that we are still living in a world where
A) there's a differential vibe and,
B) that a hair style could actually draw out such a reaction from people

?!?! ... Silliness. We might as well be still in the dark ages.

I've actually received a vibe from a girl the other day, a girl with whom I just struck up a little casual small-talk outside the coffee shop (about her bike no less) -- and I got the vibe that she assumed I was gay & for some reason, that mattered to her & the conversation was not welcome. ??!

Silliness. It never occurred to me that this might have been why, until I told my husband and he mentioned my hair. What a weird world still in 2005.
Oh yes, I agree... and I have always believed if most people listened to their hearts they would probably find they were bisexual anyways... Judaeo-Christian and Islamic belief systems have given us patriarchal societies that must keep women under control and in their place. Two women together, fulfilled (not just sexually) was seen as a threat to men (and is still to some men - and women) and therefore should be supressed, mocked or ignored. Crazeeeee!

We are who we are, and certainly our hair should not dictate how we are perceived sexually...

Put the "wig" on the other head... plenty of male "celebs" have been perceived as sexy and masculine with longer, and even pony-tailed hair (yum, I do like long hair on a man) but as soon as you shorten a womans hair she becomes masculine or unfeminine... stoooopid!
