> Men with means and receding hairlines 100% get hair transplants, even middle class baldies do so Not that I'm looking to make the case, but I believe they agreed. They were saying ridicule is included for free, perhaps crediting it with too much impact on choice. I'd say similar care for the ladies has another standard, because, well, there is. It's practically expected. Real mystery. Practical example: a bald man worries about the shape of his head and some jokes. Conversely, a bald woman worries about her life/exclusion. Anyway, I've rocked 'The Costanza' since I was a wee child. Can't be bothered to go any further [with the trimmer or plane to Türkiye] :)

> I'd say similar care for the ladies has another standard, because, well, there is. It's practically expected. Plastic surgery is absolutely not _expected_. About 15 million aesthetic plastic surgeries are performed worldwide per year. That's about one in 500 people, but in reality most people who have one procedure have multiple, so it is likely even rarer than that.

  > Plastic surgery is absolutely not _expected_. You mistake my point and overlooked 'practically'. It's not about cosmetic surgery or any particular action; commenting on the lengths or expectations based on gender. To be clear: I generally don't subscribe to these norms, failing to meet them myself. Regardless, let's force the issue a bit. Consider a gruesome accident. While I'm not willing to research it, I feel comfortable saying there would be more social pressure towards cosmetic surgery for women. At risk of another pointless debate, another example: a man can commonly, without worry or second thought, throw on a wrinkled shirt; a woman worries about repeating outfits.

    ... Do you _know_ many women, or are you basing this on depictions of women on TV? No, most women do not worry about repeating outfits.
