Do you deliberately cut their fringe too short?

You may well want to wear an armoured codpiece after that comment.

So why is the suggestion of "hairdressing" perceived as a put down?

I don't know. If you go past any hairdresser's there's plenty of lads working there.

Dealing with the narrow-minded feckwits like you makes my job fun.

But then you know I was trolling!

Women don't feel 'scared' to go study Sociology or Spanish. The lack of women in IT is only down to the fact that they don't give a f\ck about IT, or Mechanics, or anything too abstracted from their immediate surrounds.

And if you feel tempted to say, "Hey, boys are afraid to join cooking lessons", then explain why all the top chefs (barring Nigella Lawson) are male??

If Feminists were serious, they'd be setting up workshops putting 'right' the gender imbalances. Great, they must really be shaking up the status quo by now in the grease monkey trade. So the next time my girlfriend needs the oil changed, I'll just ask her to visit index, for their section on 'Female Mechanics', so she can keep the business among the sisterhood.

She's not a chef. She's someone who cooks in tight tops.

The rest of that post of codswallop too, but I can see you've been banned so someone else must have agreed.

You missed him insulting two moderators.

Because it is associated with vanity

I think it's also to do with the fact that it's unfairly perceived as a 'frivolous' job that takes little skill.

She is a woman working hard to make her ends meet. What's wrong with that?!

I do not think so. It is also the domain (perceived) of women and gay men the combination of which make it seem to be a frivolous occupation.
