Overall I find that willingly bald girls are not as submissive or eager to please as the usual sexist stereotype of women would have it. Hey, I wonder if my conclusion that bald women are more likely to be interesting than women with hair could be considered uh, haircist? Though I can get these kinda vibes from girls who choose other "unorthodox" hairstyles like mohawks or really curly and poofy hair or black chicks who grow afros.

While the main reason I have this fetish is aesthetics and sexual attraction, it also implies certain qualities I look for in a girl and makes them more apparrent than if she had hair. Comfort with their body and image, confidence, brevity, abrasiveness, sensuality, challenging idealism and so on.

In the history of several cultures forcing a woman to shave her hair is considered the ultimate form of punishment, because for as long as we can remember hair has been defined as the ultimate symbol of femininity, it's sad that something as trivial as hair is a deciding factor of weither or not a women will be accepted by society or not, even in the more progressive present it's still an issue with a lot of people. Even when women have an illness like cancer or alopecia people (men and women) can and will say some hurtful things and express bewilderment and disgust that they don't hide their "deformation" with a wig. Women have so many choices when it comes to hair but baldness is still one people can't wrap their heads around.

In one way I can understand it because hair is considered the ultimate way people can express themselves with their body and so for most women hair is a part of who they are. You go back to a lot of romantic literature and poetry and you'll find many descriptions of how a woman's greatest physical attribute is her hair.

But call me an idealist, I think it's an outdated belief, thanks to the 60s long hair is no longer exclusive to females and because there's so many guys (including myself) who sport the look, it's not really something I associate with femininity anymore, and so it's only fair not to associate baldness with masculinity. Besides, baldness is just another hair style and one which women shouldn't be made to feel like it's not an option. So kudos to all the actresses and models who sport or have sported the look and insuring that it grows as a fashion trend.

While my fetish may imply that I like butch girls, that's not the case. Feminity is a deciding factor in how attractive I find a woman, I just think my idea of femininity is a more broad and not as specific and conservative as how society has always prefered to define it. I don't define an attractive woman by her hair because hair is just clothing to me. And so I don't think a women is necessarily rejecting her femininity by shaving her head, rather she may be challenging the popular idea of what femininity is.

I hold a similiar opinion with women who get tattoos, they can still be very feminine. Overall femininity much like sexiness is something that is projected through a combination of appearance and behavior rather than just appearance.

So I still prefer women who look, dress and behave like women (great body, feminine face, nice dresses, good hygene) and I mean that just from a sexual/aesthetic preference standpoint because honestly they have the right to be whatever they want.

Anyway, after a while I may post some pictures from my folder, I've been and still kinda am reluctant because I take the things I find aesthetically pleasing very seriously and may not react too well to brash criticism.
