Why do parents hate their son's long hair?

Because in the traditional concept of China, long hair is a feature of women, and men should keep short hair to conform to the image of men. Therefore, boys with long hair are often rejected or even discriminated against by China people.

First of all, we need to understand the influence of China's traditional culture and values on men's and women's hairstyles. In ancient China, it was a virtue and tradition for women to have long hair, which was regarded as the elegance and gentleness of women. Men should have short hair, which shows a man's fortitude and determination. This traditional culture and values still exist in modern society and are accepted and followed by many people.

Secondly, we need to consider the influence of aesthetic concepts and cultural background in modern society. With the development and change of society, aesthetic concepts are constantly changing, and people begin to pay more attention to individuality and self-expression. However, in the traditional culture of China, men's long hair is still regarded as an act that does not conform to social norms and values, so it is difficult to be accepted by people.

The influence of realistic factors on men's long hair;

In China's job market, appearance and image are usually considered as one of the important factors for a person to get a job opportunity. However, men with long hair often face insufficient employment opportunities or discrimination in some fields. This also led many men to choose to cut their hair short to meet the expectations and needs of society.

Finally, we also need to emphasize that it is not an abnormal or inappropriate behavior for men to have long hair. Everyone has his own personality and style, which should be respected and accepted. We should encourage people to respect others' choices and personalities in order to build a more inclusive and open social environment.
