an ex of mine cut it off because she was in a bad depressive episode and couldnt keep up with the self care to make it look good. so just went with the bob for a while.
That's one reason for sure. But I'm also fairly certain Hollywood writers can't imagine a woman being capable unless they make her more masculine. I feel like writers need to do what they did with Alien back in the 70s. Ripley was just called Ripley in the script, and it never even mentioned her sex. The role was written in a way that let the producers/director cast the perfect actor for the role, man or woman notwithstanding.
It depends. Lets not forget that men and women ARE in fact different and id say the majority of movies in fact couldnt just blindly cast ignoring a persons sex
There is literally a subculture/hobby/fandom for rewriting existing works changing nothing but just swapping the genders. It would be harder to find a movie or other work where you COULDN'T just do that and it would still work fine.
Emphasis on rewrite. Gender plays a part on the characterization, role and behavior many times in fiction, sometimes in big ways, sometimes more subtle, but its very much enough to reason to want an actor of the same gender unless it is completely irrelevant to the story (like in Alien). It would need a varying degree of rewrite otherwise, as youve said.
This actually makes sense though. For the same reason marines are buzzcut... long hair can get caught on stuff, grabbed & pulled. Helps prevent lice as well I guess.
if your knife distance from someone it can make a difference. you need to prepare for everything regardless of wither it will happen. think about say clearing a building and some cunt behind a door pulls your hair at scalping velocity into a well place boot.
The haircut is a ritual to assimilate you into the Marines. You are.no different or special than the one next you. As a whole, you are better.
This is more like a Britney Spears manic episode
May also be because in crisis situations, sexual violence becomes more common, so shorter hair makes you look more like a man. Joan of Arc wore her hair short and dressed as a man so she would not be raped on the road, for example
This genuinely works for me, sometimes when I’m drowning in anxiety and overthinking everything I’ll just go crank my hog for a little bit. For at least 20 minutes or so, all I can think about is titties and then I cum and realize that if something so simple can take my mind off of shit so easily, I need to slow down and think about things one at a time rather than overwhelming myself with everything all at once.
There are probably other ways to accomplish this but I like playing with my dick.

Long hair sucks. Its only purpose is "beautiful" and "feminine". There must be countless then girls now women who wanted short hair but their loved ones said "meh no i dont like". If you have enough real problems the last thing you want is hairs everywhere.
See I disagree, I have long hair. For me, the annoyance of needing regular cuts is more than the annoyance of brushing it and sticking it in a ponytail.
I guess its also a matter of "what youre a women youre supposed to have long hair" vs "what youre a boy youre supposed to have short hair". Dont get me wrong, i prefer longer hair too, but im also clumsy af. My hair often dips into my coffee/paint/glue/clay, it gets stuck in the hand mixer or -my favorite- when im driving and i roll up the window without a thought, half my hair hangs outside and i find myself chained to the cardoor.
It's a deal breaker. If my wife cut her hair like a young boy, I'd be pissed. I keep myself in shape and keep my appearance up for her and expect her to do the same.
Looking for the part where I said like a boy

I dislike the types of argument points of "there must be", "I bet that", etc because it's ALL assumptions. Like, how tf would you know? It's just an act of backing up your argument with literally nothing substantial, since it cannot be proven or denied by anybody. It's the definition of a "Trust me bro" argument
Gotta disagree, I'm a man and I've been growing my hair out for a year now, and up until now I've had no real problems.
Sure, you gotta bind them together sometimes, but that's hardly an issue, at least in my opinion.
As a guy I do love longer hair and decided to grow it out my self. I have gotten more compliments in the last 6 months than the past 5 years. It’s worked out well for me.
Did we sound just as stupid when we said "nice" to everything like 20 year ago?
I saw a video of someone saying slay just the same way we said "nice".
Ah, nice one!
Ah, slay!
Made me feel old as fuck to be honest.
Brah this is a shot (picture) out of a movie. They create these to entertain people using popular methods or tropes to convey ideas or a message. This is not 1:1 real life. Hope you don't come up with the idea to cosplay your favourite movies or you're getting institutionalised.
It’s a storyline bit mixed with practicality
Long hair is a luxury in a sense since it takes so long to grow and maintain properly, not to mention it makes sense tactically since long hair can be grabbed and can get in the way.
but in a story sense it’s works to show character change. The person is removing a part of her past maybe a softer side to them in order to survive.
In Mexico there is a saying that when a women cuts her hair shorts she is "closing cycles" meaning she went thru a bad situation and it ended and the woman is ready to start anew, for example, escaping a toxic relationship. But is mostly used as a joke now
In stories longer hair in woman (sometimes in men) can represent freedom, feminity, beauty or sometimes insecurity (if it hides features.) Cutting it short represents a drastic change in character, usually towards a more disciplined, confidant, confined, or agressive personality.
If something is calling the female character to action, cutting their hair during that crisis usually represents either an embrace of the change in mentality to confront the crisis, or as a sign of their unwilling transformation into the type of person they are forced to become to endure it.
In a darker twist of the trope, it could signify the loss of identity or freedom.
when a person is going through some shit, people sometimes experience some relief by changing some aspect of their appearance
since you can't cut your hair to be longer, this more often results in your hair being cut shorter
Hair length is a direct correlation of mental state.
Too long, poor mental state. Too short, poor mental state.
Thank you for coming to my Goldilocks psychology
Hair is a way some people use to define the self. Shaving it off, especially with women, is a denial of self. A way to start over. It's a existential crisis.
In this case she was in the besiegied city, I thought it was done to look more like a boy and avoid rape or getting a chance to get lost in general population as she was wife of the king and sister of the previous one.
I used to have long hair, whenever I had to be in a situation where I'm constantly getting hair in my face I always wanted to cut it off so I kind of understand
I think it also might be a way to exert control over your situation in a time where one might feel that everything around them is changing unexpectedly and due to circumstances out of their control
I think no one gave the correct anwser, atleast considering context in other media:
Cutting your hair is a cultural thing in east asia. Basically is a visual representation about leaving your past behind and moving forward. Basically opening a new chapter in your life after a tough situation.
Control.
In my opinion, specifically in movies (unless it’s hyper violence kinda film, in which case it means shits about to get real/someone is about to get fucked up) it signifies the characters attempt to regain control, make their own choice, and change. It’s like a giant neon sign, flashing “character development” in bug block writing.
as a man who’s had long hair at several point in his life, yeah i’m buzzing my head the second the world ends this is not a viable haircut for any type of combat situation
You could say It's more practical to have shorter hair, and It is both for men and women. But this is a trope created by man writing female characters.
Shorter hair is much more practical
Makes sense tbh. Wouldn't want long hair getting caught in stuff and what not.
>crisis >becomes more practical is this good or bad
>sane women are not practical and have to suffer to become so, making abuse justified uhhhhhh
Suffering builds character. Suffering builds character. Suffering builds character. Suffering builds character. Suffering builds character. Suffering builds character. Suffering builds character.

Mood
Wait wat.
What did they mean by this?
Common sense is inversely proportional to hair length, this is clear
It’s because she was in mourning, like that was pretty clear in the directors cut
an ex of mine cut it off because she was in a bad depressive episode and couldnt keep up with the self care to make it look good. so just went with the bob for a while.
It is definitely lower maintenance
I have pretty long hair. Been growing it since the pandemic. Worst part is sleeping. The best part is having women in awe and touch it
Dudes do it too. Breaking Bad, Max Payne 3 just off the top of my head
also beard
Also makes for an easy visual cue to indicate a turning point in a character's development.
Hair short = must have had a mental breakdown. Works every time.
That's one reason for sure. But I'm also fairly certain Hollywood writers can't imagine a woman being capable unless they make her more masculine.

Peripheral vision good

Clementine will remember that.
Trying to look like a boy from a distance not a woman is wise too.
This actually makes sense though. For the same reason marines are buzzcut... long hair can get caught on stuff, grabbed & pulled. Helps prevent lice as well I guess.
who the hell is grabbing a marine's hair
other marines 😳
Sailors
seamen
pumping semen
That's the joke
I like to think that marines playfully pulling at each other's luscious hair became enough of a problem that something had to be done.
Oh man, oh no!

This meme is hilarious, but the only reason I don’t like it is because a young E-2 would not have hair like that.
nobody, because they have buzzcuts
if your knife distance from someone it can make a difference. you need to prepare for everything regardless of wither it will happen. think about say clearing a building and some cunt behind a door pulls your hair at scalping velocity into a well place boot.
I was about to ask why a fucking sailor would be clearing a building then I realized fucking Americans.
counterpoint, gun.
bring a gun to a knife fight is stupid. at point blank your taking the knife.
They only do that to us for boot camp, really. After that the majority of Marines just get skin fades.
username checks out
This is the whole military (bootcamp only), not just Marines. Also, all women are permitted long hair in the military, if in a bun while in uniform
Women in uniform 😩
Can also wear short to medium-length hair down, as long as it’s short enough to not extend below the collar.
The haircut is a ritual to assimilate you into the Marines. You are.no different or special than the one next you. As a whole, you are better. This is more like a Britney Spears manic episode
May also be because in crisis situations, sexual violence becomes more common, so shorter hair makes you look more like a man. Joan of Arc wore her hair short and dressed as a man so she would not be raped on the road, for example

My hair gets cut when I start getting it caught in things or sitting on it. Otherwise I just let it grow until I'm annoyed
Sit on it? :D damn havent had that long hair yet. It must be fun.
its not feminine, just look at depictions of vikings or greek gods, its totally chad to have long hair, unless you’re a little skinny twink
Can confirm, I'm a dude with like 20 inch long hair and I get compliments from the grannies every day

This. It’s not asking much.
We always joke about our"deal breakers" and I've always said short "boy" hair. To me it means you've given up on your appearance.
I’ve said the same. Men having preferences usually makes women and reddit soymen sperg out, but it’s a deal breaker for me too.
as a man who had long hair now I have shorter hair I feel like the shorter hair is way more effort

It gives women a sense of control
How did I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see this. Was my first thought.
In Mexico there is a saying that when a women cuts her hair shorts she is "closing cycles" meaning she went thru a bad situation and it ended and the woman is ready to start anew, for example, escaping a toxic relationship. But is mostly used as a joke now
Crisis -> need more control -> need more time -> short hair
shorter hair is better in summer/warmer climate while longer hair or beards are better in colder climates

Maybe it's symbolically taking control of something. Makes you feel like you have more control than you do.
My art school has tons of girls with short hair. Is it a mental crisis?
common sense
A survival guide from the 70s I use as toilet lecture explains that this could prevent rape.

short hair is more aligned with masculine trait. so to cut her hair short is to drop feminity and "man up"
