The amount of upvotes this boomer shit has is just fucking embarrassing. Gender has absolutely zero impact on hair. It's all genetics. I'm male and my hair is long and thin as fuck.
I used to think this also when I had long, wavy locks. Then met my secret new friend who was hiding away in the back of my genes "male pattern baldness" and now I know that men very much have different hair concerns than most women.
Also, it's not a joke about gender having an impact on hair, it's a joke about gendered roles having an impact on hair and how pointless a lot of the gendered expectations and marketed products are. Take a breath and learn the difference.
Hormones can play a role as well. Anecdotally, my wife's hair during pregnancy became fuller and less brittle. Duckduckgo "pregnancy hair". A monthly cycle, being on hormonal birth control, etc. will likely have some effect. I definitely agree that genetics does play a bigger role, but claiming that gender/sex plays no role is definitely incorrect.
Cool. Joke is "men dont buy products so they use shit at hand".
So, still boomer humor based on manufactured gender division. Cool.
You’re That ~~Guy~~Person at parties right?
If you look for things to be angry about, you’re going to find them. This seems like a silly hill to die on
