In our country Ethiopia most universities forces their male students to cut their hair clean while the women can wear long hair. In elementary and high school also boys get forced to cut their hair clean. The reason is “discipline and professionalism”,if short hair makes a person disciplined then why women are not required to cut their hair to become a discipline person? So women are undisciplined or bad people for not cutting their hair? It’s illogical and unreasonable. These problem exist in the workplace also for example
medical institutions,aviation and the military forces it male students and employers to cut their hair clean their reason is:- for medical students and employers it to prevent bacteria and disease from being transmitted to the patient, for the aviation and the military it’s for practicality,safety and discipline. If that’s the case why women doctors are not required to cut their hair if hair transmits bacteria and diseases to the patient? For aviation and military they say it’s discipline and practicality and safety of the plane, if that the case then why women are not required to cut their hair in order to protect the safety of the plane? If it’s for practicality and discipline then why women are not required to cut their hair in the military since long hair is a big disadvantage in hand to hand combat and practicality in war and piloting? I find it unreasonable sex discriminatory and illogical, it’s simply a cultural and religious issue.
