your hair privilege, guys

http://www.phillyvoice.com/villanova-student-shaves-her-head-combat-hair-privilege/


On St. Patrick's Day, Nguyen had a few friends help her get rid of her hair in order to take a stand against gender oppression and to acknowledge her own privileged place in American society.

"Over the past few years, I would cut my hair, but each time I was told by others that I didn’t look like a 'true girl' until my hair was long, straight and silky," Nguyen wrote last week in an op-ed for The Villanovan, the university's student-run newspaper. "Small and constant comments about how to play the role of my gender were burdensome. I never felt like I would be fully accepted for being my true self."

In a world where people are fighting daily with all sorts of medications and products to save the last few strands left on their balding heads, or losing all of their hair because they are at death's door fighting cancer, imagine being so spoiled that you shave off your god-given hair to fight a bogeyman.

Hair privilege? Because male pattern baldness doesn't exist, right?

Nguyen said she had wanted to shave her head for over two years prior to going ahead with it. Fear repeatedly stopped her until she was exposed to poverty and other instances of injustice.

"One must forgo some of their undeserved privileges to provide justice for others," Nguyen concluded op-ed. "Are you willing to shave?"


If she wants to fight poverty, shouldn't she be giving up her money, not her hair? I really don't see what hair has to do with the other injustices either, like the sweatshops that were also mentioned in the article.

Imagine how insensitive it is to cancer patients, squandering your "hair privilege" like that.

Privileges should be appreciated, not fucking literally thrown into the trash.
