Hot take: Female Marines should be required to shave their heads in bootcamp.

While the media is on the topic of gender based standards in the military, I thought I might bring this up. I don’t expect many to agree, but I don’t quite understand why it’s not required.

I was under the impression that we shaved our heads to metaphorically cut away the past, and to show that we were all equal, that no one was different.(Edit: Plus a few health related reasons) Why is that idea just completely abandoned for females?

I don’t have any spite towards this topic, I am just genuinely curious why it’s not the same across both genders indoc.

Edit: The mandatory haircuts men get in bootcamp also come out of our paychecks. I bring that up in the interest of fairness.
