Apologies I should have put an eyeroll or something to indicate tone. What I was getting at is that it’s seen as a man’s haircut so that’s why it’s given to the character.
I still firmly disagree with that point. Maybe it’s just a cultural thing that I’m not getting. I’ve never seen short hair as exclusive to men (other than as a result of male pattern balding because that’s just a weird thing the human body does), nor think that it makes women look masculine. I know and have known plenty of women with short hair and men with long hair, and never thought it anything other than a stylistic choice (barring other practical considerations).

OK thanks for giving me your perspective
