My friend argues that nobody keeps women down as much as other women. Believing in the sisterhood I argue against this, but then I see this kind of stuff and everyday I lose a bit more faith in before mentioned sisterhood.

As a fashion industry veteran, I too have suffered the pressure to streamline and tame my locks (and to lose 30 lbs….) Others do not understand the insurmountable task. Anymore I do a reality check before I style my hair. How much humidity, will it rain, will I overheat and perspire…? If any of these are a “yes” I am better to go as I am. Nature will win.

At least my husband loves me with curls. Even if everyone else thinks I am a wreck, he thinks I an the sexiest woman in the room.

For a professional woman like Robin Givhan to make a comment like that is downright offensive!  Rebecca Brooks wears suits, had a professional job which she may or may not have done well but she is being judged because she didn’t straighten her hair or at a minimum put it out of sight?   That’s as ridiculous as telling Ms. Givhan she should try to appear more white.  It’s as if she’s saying that people should not accept the way they were born but should do everything in their power to make themselves look like a clone of someone else’s “acceptable.”

Now redheads…oh the stereotypes.
