Memories of years of my usually-pretty-open-minded dad saying "you really should cut your hair" every time I was doing co-op job interviews. I joked about this once with my interviewer, a man with long red-dyed hair (for a bay area tech co). (We were talking about my vibe.)

more long-haired men erasure smh
