I went to an online dictionary and found these definitions:
Main Entry: an·drog·y·nous So I guess you could say that men growing longhair in general could be considered androgynous. MMMMMM... Re: Androgynous?

If all you mean is that our style is suitable for men or women, or that we longhairs are deliberately choosing a style which some people would regard as being characteristic of the opposite gender, then that has to apply to us. If you mean, are we trying to push back the boundaries of prejudice which restrict the people of this world, then most of us are at least symoathetic to the idea. Going a stage furtehr, are we trying to aim for not only a style but also a lifestyle in which gender is either unimportant or deliberately vague, then that will apply to some of us. Where do I stand in this? I've managed to confuse myself totally, but the above paragraph sounded good when I wrote it.
