Same here. The one other person that mentioned trans women was downvoted into oblivion. And in general, all the comments are very male centric.

Women have hair loss too. Cancer or alopecia. Although many can embrace their baldness, to dismiss it as just “get some clippers, hair is socially constructed” is so bizarre to read.

This is a good video about a woman who has hair loss and how even wearing a wig is difficult: https://youtu.be/ujvQMpPDq40

> Women have hair loss too.

My wife discovered, during pregnancy, that she has hair loss associated with hypothyroidism. Point being that endocrine disorders can lead to hair loss, as well.

Another issue is that some have trichotillomania, which causes them to nervously pull out their own hair. Lots of causes. But that aside, there are many more men with hair loss then women [0] [1]. Opinions aside, there are objectively significantly more men than women who have the problem. Women also can cover it more due to longer hair. Not reasonable to call comments "male centric" when the majority of people with hair loss are male.

Spoken like someone whose never had thinning hair. Long hair makes it look worse, not better.

For many women, a hair is her identity. A man is still valued more by his means of providing and status in competence hiearchies than his appearance. This is not the same with female mammals.
