Huh? This one is not just scandalous to me, it's… alien.
- dfxm12 13y agoMy high school had something of a dress code that you had to be clean shaven and hair can't be past your shoulders. It was in no way a masculine thing, it was more of a uniform sort of thing (schools making rules for the sake of making rules). I had been given a razor on more than one occasion to shave in the morning, but never got into real trouble. I think the author is overstating this.
