I'm not saying it's right at all. I have been called a fascist and a Nazi in my time just because I shave my head so for a woman to have a look that is so diametrically opposed to the classic 'female look' freaks people out.

I've been lucky that my overall look doesn't lend itself to the Nazi stereotype, although I have, on one or two occasions, had people assume I was the owner of a nearby Harley.
I have heard someone describe a woman shaving her head as the equivalent of a man opting to wear a dress for several weeks, in terms of both people's reactions to her and the level of anxiety and self-consciousness she would have about it. I'm not sure I agree entirely, but it is a good thing to keep in mind when suggesting the idea to a reluctant wife or girlfriend, and it does make one appreciate the bravery of those women who do go out in public completely bald.
