why shouldn't being bald be part of fashion?

why is it only "having hair" fashionable?

we're ok with disability prosthetics like glasses becoming fashion statements. meanwhile for hair loss, the consensus is to shave it all.

I'm actually looking forward to becoming bald. It will be a lot less work to wear stylish wigs

Also, hair on the top of your head means you have something to hide from the sky/sun god. Only the bald are pious and honest devotees, everyone else are duplicitous non-believers.

To be fair, even today, the bald look makes you look like an open book, as in nothing to hide.

Conversely the emo hair makes it look like you have something to hide (your emotional scars).

Forgot England and their wigs.

It's weird that this only affect men. It's like a weird joke that was played on us.
