400 teenage pupils, one hairstyle
SOMEONE I know gave a talk at a private school for girls last week.
About 400 teenage pupils sat in front of him, listening intently.
Every single girl had exactly the same hairstyle: long flat hair ironed by hair straighteners. And the same fringe.
Not one had curly or wavy hair, not a single one dared to be different.
My friend, being a man, hadn’t noticed during his talk, but was shocked when it was pointed out to him by the teachers, who lamented the conformity displayed by these girls.
