Why isn't it acceptable for men to have long hair in modern times like it was during the middle ages and the renaissance?
>>1190414
but it is, you just ought to maintain and clean it
>>1190415
yea this
stop getting mad about people who don't like your neckbeard

To some extent, in most social circles you can get away with it probably. If you're applying for a job it's a distinct disadvantage though. Even if it is well maintained and not gross, the guy with a high and tight will always look more clean cut.
The perception of long hair as more casual/not formal is interesting I think.
150 years there are pictures and paintings of literal neckbeards, pube face, and side burns, and other facial monstrosities until the enlightened elite decided mustaches were fashionable again because even men with pathetic facial hair can cultivate them
Long straight male hair was one of these fashion hiccups, get a hair cut pinko
This is your mother. Escapism is no substitute for a haircut.

CULTURE CHANGES WOW
It became cool to have short hair and shaved face like soldiers in the early 20th century US and it spread everwhere else
Why are you asking asinine questions like a child, OP?

Because women like war heroes returning home and war heroes returning home were shaved and had short hair because of practical reasons.
This is actually a very interesting question.
the creation of super centralized bureaucracies, among other things influenced this a lot.
Basically.
> Create Nation-State
> Establish brand new bureaucracy that everyone in the country has to deal with for one reason or another
> Pay bureaucrats very well
> Create uniforms for the bureaucrats as they represent the state
> Because the position pays well enough to put you into the middle class people look up to it and start behaving and looking more like the bureaucrats either because they want to work there or because the middle class generally sets a lot of trends
>in a lot of countries bureaucrats and people working in the public sector in general had to get clean short haircuts.
In post-WWI Turkey this is sort of how the new latinized Turkish script became a thing. Because people had to deal with the bureaucracy in this script they had to learn the script. But because you were considered educated if you knew this "new" Turkish people made it their number one priority. There was actually a pretty big gap between the older and the newer generation with this.
Same with the Fez actually (or the lack thereof)
