Women face baldness as well, it's less common but hair is seen as such a feminine trait I bet it's devastating to go through that.

Agreed, if it actually comes to fruition, great.

Indeed. It’s worse for them. A man can walk around bald if he wants to. Maybe he won’t be so attractive, but he can do it. Women who lose all their hair have to resort to head wraps and wigs. They can’t just scalp it like they don’t care.

That's how it was for men at first too though. Men had to hang into their hair and just have a bald spot, or wear a wig, or do the comb over. It wasn't until I'd say the nineties that shaving the head for men has been a positive look. We should start the trend of shaved head women.
