I’m a cis white male with hair long enough to ponytail. Playing with my daughter at the park, a little one asked me if I was her mom or dad. When I told her that I was her father, she asked me why I had a ponytail. Without missing a beat I responded with “because my hair is long.” Little girl thought for a moment, put on a “yeah, that makes sense” look, and went about to go play.

They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.

The next question I’d expect from a little kid would be “why is your hair long?”.

And another why, and another, and another…

  A good way to break the unending question sequence is to ask them what they think about whatever they asked.
  
  “Why is your hair long?” “Well, why do you think someone might have long hair?”

    As a dad of a three year old with a VERY ravenous appetite for knowledge, I can confirm this. It somehow also feels like that kinda seems to be developing some thinking skills because the kid is sometimes surprisingly profound and has a magnificent imagination.

    I love hearing my six year old’s thought processes for the same reason.

  As a dude with hair past my shoulders, the answer is that it looks fly AF

Sibling and I were visiting my mum. Neighbour kids were playing outside when we arrived. They loudly asked ‘why does the boy have long hair and the girl short hair?’ Mum said ‘Because they each like their hair that way!’ and the kids were also like ‘yeah that makes sense’. Kids love learning new stuff, it comes easily to most of them to learn that humans can differ.

  Cool thing about kids is that they’re not prejudiced before they learn something new. Not so cool thing is that parents often pass prejudice onto their kids.
