OMG, Howard Fineman let his hair grow out in it's natural color.

[Fla Dem]

He looks so much better (relatively speaking) than when I last remember seeing him. I think he had dyed it black.

[redqueen]

1. Impossible.

I saw him last week and it was that reddish brown with grey roots.

I know it's pretty much just me... but I think dyeing hair is so stupid.

[kenny blankenship]

3. It certainly looks stupid on a man

[redqueen]

4. Why would you think it looks stupid on a man, but not a woman?

Hm?

[uppityperson]

6. Huh, I don't see "but not on a woman" in that post.

Just reread and nope. I don't see "not on a dog" either. They are talking about a man, perhaps that is why that is said? Hm?

[redqueen]

7. I guess that's supposed to be funny.

Nice try?

[uppityperson]

8. Partially, better than taking offense at not posting every thing, covering everything.

Yes, nice try. Still don't see "not a woman" in that post though.

[redqueen]

9. So asking a question is taking offense.

Alllllllllrighty then.

[uppityperson]

12. No, it's a "have you stopped beating your wife" type question.

It certainly looks stupid on a man.
Why would you think it looks stupid on a man, but not a woman?
-----------------
Where did that poster say "not on a woman"?

[redqueen]

15. Deductive logic.

Oh, and you can stop with your little quest to prove me wrong now. They did, in fact, intend to exclude women.

Of course, I already knew that.

[uppityperson]

19. I bow to your wisdom of that poster.

I try not to assume since I don't know everyone's posting style, everyone's opinions. There are a few that I do know and can jump to assumptions about. I guess this was one where you and the poster had a previous knowledge of each other.

[redqueen]

20. I have no previous knowledge. You must be basing that on his

claim that I already knew he was evil. If we had some previous altercation on this subject, I don't remember it.

What I do know is that if one states an opinion about people who dye their hair, but limits that opinion to address only men... that only leaves one group out. That's why I said "deductive logic".

[uppityperson]

22. I figure if they are discussing a man doing it, and say they don't like it when men do it

that is following along with the topic.

And no, not basing this on his claim, but on your claiming "not on women" when I didn't see that. So, that assumption, excuse me, deduction, was wrong.

[redqueen]

23. Sorry, but no.

"It certainly looks stupid on men." The implication is - "but not on women".

One could have chosen their words poorly, and not meant to imply that... but that is the implication, nonetheless.

[kenny blankenship]

10. Because I'm evil Redqueen. But you knew that...

It's simply this: most people --women as well as men- admire it when a woman is able to preserve her youthful looks by hair coloring done well, but when a man's hair is dyed it usually stands out more, since few men resort to that practice. When a man's face and his hair color do not match up it is more noticeable, and he then looks out of step, insecure and silly. It's a culturally conditioned judgment and that's all.

[redqueen]

11. So you did mean to exclude women.

Thanks for your honest response.

[redqueen]

25. Women who dye hair - admired.

Men who dye hair - insecure and silly.


I'm not saying you're evil... I thought you and I usually got on pretty well actually.

It's just that I'm done tolerating any of this... or tolerating the tolerance of it. I'm not intending to call you out... or saying you personally believe whatever cultural judgments... I'm intending only to call the BS out.

Cause honestly... just... enough.

[uppityperson]

28. "I'm not intending to call you out."

[redqueen]

29. What?

What point are you trying to make by quoting that?

[uppityperson]

30. Use your powers of deduction

[redqueen]

31. Oh good grief. (nt)

[Skidmore]

34. Well, women who soak their heads in chemicals because they

are afraid of embracing their age annoy me as much as the men do....and I'm a woman. I'm a woman embracing her age. Earned every gray hair in my head and am proud of them.

[redqueen]

37. Hear hear... I earned all my grey hairs and there's no chance I'll ever dye them.

:thumbsup:

[uppityperson]

39. Me too. I'm glad to finally be getting some.

[TexasObserver]

26. I'm opposed to hair coloring.

Where do people think all that dye ends up?

That shit is toxic to humans and animal life.

I think dyeing hair is downright silly. Cindy McCain as a 54 year old platinum blond is absurd. How can anyone think that looks good?

[redqueen]

27. Holy crap! ITA!

I'm so happy to have FINALLY found someone else who agrees with me!

:woohoo:

[JuniperLea]

36. Count me in too, redqueen

I used to do the color weave deal, thinking the chemical level is much smaller. It is, but dammit! I'm sick and tired of liking the look of distinguished grey-headed men! I say distinguished grey-headed women should unite! I'm white at the temples, and I've earned each and every one of those pale beauties! Besides, since those hairs are really, really white, I've decided I'm going platinum blond instead of grey! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Seriously, I'm letting it all grow out... I have a long blond and brown French braid down the back of my head, and it hangs to my waist. I'm just going to keep it braided and watch the white take over:)

[redqueen]

43. Right on!

IMO we older women really do need to set an example...

[blogslut]

32. Cindy McCains hair is white

Her hair began turning gray in the 90's.


I've no love for the woman but I do know hair. She might use some sort of blue-based product to keep it from yellowing but that woman's hair is pretty much all white.

[TexasObserver]

35. I have no doubt her hair is actually gray, but that's not gray she has showing.

Her hair is bleached blond. It's not even close to being gray.

[blogslut]

38. White

Her hair is white. I will bet my seven years experience + 1500 hours of cosmetology training on it.

[TexasObserver]

44. GRAY

Her hair is bleached.

Have you considered getting your eyes checked?

[blogslut]

45. My eyes are fine

But you obviously need to believe that her hair is bleached, so knock yourself out. I guess processed-platinum hair carries some sort of demonic quality for you. You might wanna change your avatar if that's the case.

[TexasObserver]

46. GRAY

[Brazenly Liberal]

41. He may not have had a choice

My former brother-in-law is a news anchor and colors his hair on orders from the station.

Sometimes you do whatchagottado to keep the job. Hair color is a relatively minor concession.

(edited to correct mistake - left out "minor" in original)

[redqueen]

42. Good point... sad that such shallow BS is part of some job descriptions. (nt)

[rubberducky]

2. He looks 100% better. I thought he looked silly with the obviously dyed hair.

[kenny blankenship]

14. Well, you're a terrible person and sexist

[redqueen]

17. Oh get off the cross. (nt)

[kenny blankenship]

18. When you come down off the mountain

[redqueen]

21. What mountain?

What are you talking about?

[rubberducky]

40. What a mess I am!

[redqueen]

5. Is it grey?

[Fla Dem]

13. Roots are gray...the rest a reddish/brown color. n/t

[redqueen]

16. Yeah... I saw it and thought he'd missed a hair appointment. (nt)

[Stinky The Clown]

24. His hair was lookin_ like an unraveled spool of u_ly brown rayon fiber.
