Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non binary) is welcome
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever. 4( No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

While all of it makes little sense in movies, short hair doesn't. Reason why military cuts hair short is so your hair doesn't get tangled in trees, bushes or fences, compromising you. It's really of practical nature. But given how many cockups they make elsewhere in movies, I don't think they were going for that kind of realism.
This is something I've always found a bit perplexing - US female combat troops often have long hair, which they keep up and tight while working.
Both me and my other half often do physical work (I'm a volunteer firefighter, she does arbourist work on the side) and neither of us can stand having long hair ... if I were doing military work, I can't imagine how needlessly uncomfortable that long hair is!
Same goes for women MMA fighters.
In other news, my other half looks like Sinead O'Connor when she shaves her hair, while I look more like a Gulag escapee for some reason ... so I have to live with a pixie cut or longer.
