Sisters are doing it for themselves

As mentioned a couple of days ago I have a new haircut, and apparently it is a rather good cut which suits me. I know this because I have been (i) asked for details of my hairdresser in a serious way and (ii) I have been complemented by people who have then discussed the effects and asked why I have had it done.

What is interesting is the way a couple of people have enquired about my new look has clearly had the sub-text who have you changed your look for? Well, the answer is I have changed it for absolutely nobody except for myself. I wanted to feel good and a change of hairstyle was part of me making myself feel good about myself.

The fact the implication had been there at all makes me realise that for all it's trivial insignificance compared to the real issues many women face apparently third wave feminism does still have a role to play.
