To go with this, and the beard issue in the work place (I was asked to shave once if I wanted to promotion they were offering me - then mocked for the baby face I was hiding once I did) I think it highlights a disparity of progress.
Women had suffrage then feminism to highlight what they felt they were lacking in a society of equals. Men haven't really seen the same rebellion come to the forefront. I genuinely feel as if women have been given many more options from the traditional roles of the Patriarchy but the roles men occupied then are still expected to stick.
