    Isn’t shaving one’s head an “empty performative stunt”? It doesn’t provide any benefit to the cancer patient.

      I don’t think so if you’re fond of your hair. Even if it grows back, it’s a symbolic sacrifice in solidarity–a nice firm hug. A bald cap feels like a limp hug or a pat on the head.
