Freedom to wear Long Hair

Hi Gang,
New here, just playing with my search engine and found this site. I'm from New Jersey - USA
I have worn my hair to my shoulders since the 1960's - and wear it a bit past the shoulders today. I did/do it not to be a rebel just cause I want to. Many in society are robots - men must wear short hair, women must wear long, we must eat ..., we must .... WHO SAYS ??
Do what you damn please !! it seems males have a complex problem towards men with long hair - must they prove they are macho with short hair ? I don't need to prove anything but - it needed I can kick a@@ - 33 years of martial arts - so anybody thing I'm feminine ..
I remember in the old days men would say - women wear long hair, I would shoot back - was Jesus, George Washington, Einstein women ?? they shut up fast !!
I'm a computer professional, wear my hair clean/neat and never hear any crap. Today things are not as bad as 35-40 years ago. Hell, I have tattoos and ride Harley Davidsons - years ago it was the same - alot of ignorance - much different today.
Keep you head up, hair long and have pride in your believe.
Bob

sFrom one Bob to another, welcome to the board! It's good to hear stories and input from longhaired men who have been at this for a long time. I have only had longhair now for 3 years. I am a 44 year old teacher (Latin), married with three kids. This board is made up of quite a diversity of people, which makes it wonderful. Will look forward to more of your posts.
BTW, I often hit wrong keys and spell words incorrectly, but as long as I've been on the board, I never knew that one of the admission prerequisites was using spell check.:) Putting up with each other's indiosyncricies is, though.

I was one of the original long haired hippie types from the 60s,
I started growing my hair long when the Beatles did. (Yes, Paul
McCartney did have a group before Wings)
I started growing it long at that time because I liked the look
and wanted to wear it long.
All these many years later I still wear it long, it's been
a long strange road, i've been thrown out of school more times
than i'd care to acknowledge, but I wouldn't change a thing.
