- I had this discussion several years ago. (I only get 1-2 haircuts per year,
- so my hair goes from shoulder-length to above the ears.) Someone will
- probably give you the scripture (Paul, I believe) that says something along
- the lines of "even nature tells us that men should have short hair." Let
- me debunk that for you, in advance. In the next scripture (I believe),
- it also says that women should have longer hair than men. (My pastor's
- wife (at that time) had very short hair.) So, at worst, it is no worse for a
- man to have long hair, than for a woman to have short hair. Use that one
- on them.
