Wow, if ever there was an article contorted by an agenda, it's this one. An application of Hanlon's razor surely wouldn't hurt (and fits well with the hair cutting "example").
She even admits that laziness or inertia is a pretty good explanation for the hair phenomenon - but clearly, "it is a side effect of Western racism"! While there certainly has been issues for minorities because of the dominance of Western beauty ideals, this is a pretty lazy argument in itself. Especially since some ethnic haircuts were a successful, direct response to this.
And, oh yeah, it must be "the industry" colluding against everybody - never mind that most barbers and hairdressers are just people making a living. Maybe the solution is to stop going to a "stylist" in a city and find a local hairdresser in your neighbourhood - but that, of course, takes effort.
From there on, it just keeps getting worse with the unfounded paranoia, e.g. asserting that "TV advertisers don’t seem to want to know [...] what types of ads women respond to" without any facts. I'm going to call BS.
What a terrible article.
