    I just wish everyone was chill about doing whatever someone likes.

    Preach, sibling.

    As an aside:

    Like long hair/short hair for example.

    This reminds me of the song “Turn The Page”, specifically the lines “Always the same old clichés: Is it woman, is it man?”

    They refer to the issue rock musicians with long hair faced, back when Seger wrote it. ~30 years later, when I first heard it, I was a metalhead with long hair. On one hand, I felt it keenly because classmates made fun of my “girl” hair. On the other, it struck me as odd because I saw plenty of metalheads with long hair (nevermind people from other cultures where that was never an issue).

    Eventually, with figures like Thor making long hair “manly” enough, that stopped. It’s curious how culture shifts can be so irregular, once slow and uneven and then suddenly very quickly.
