The patriarchy hurts men too, and capitalism screws everyone

Why is men's hair dye way more expensive than women's? That makes no sense whatsoever. If anything, you'd think it would be cheaper.

P.S. I am awesome at dyeing hair.

Have you seen the commercials for men's hair products? Apparently, any man that doesn't have a thick full head of blonde/brunette hair is terrible at sports, incapable of fulfilling the needs of a woman, a failure at life, and probably going to die of old age soon.

I haven't been around long enough to know men have always bought into this idea or if they buy into this idea now because of the constant bombardment by this message but its a pretty powerful message either way. No wonder men are willing to shell out the extra cash for hair dye they don't really need in the first place.

i kinda hope that if my hairline recedes i can just slightly alter my long hair style into the half-shaved kung fu braid and then glue it on my face in the shape of a fu manchu and never have a job again

People should do that more often. It looks hot on Chow Yung Fat, anyway.
