She genuinely seemed surprised when I told her what I thought.
My daughter is a strong, smart, confident girl. She mentioned getting a buzz cut recently, and although she’s always been allowed to wear whatever she wants, this gave me pause.
Not because I care what she does with her hair, but because she dresses in the modern way kids are doing grunge/punk from my generation, and I worry that with buzzed hair she’ll look like a skinhead. When I explained neo-Nazi punks to her she dismissed it as Nazis “appropriating” punk looks, and although I tried to explain, she was adamant that Nazis are the opposite of what punk and counterculture stand for and nobody would think she was one of them.
I’m judged negatively due to being a Black man all the time, but at this stage of my life, I’ve proven so many people wrong that it has become second nature to me. However, it takes extremely thick skin to deal with that on a daily basis, and I hope your daughter is up for it, because not everyone can handle it.
That said, I’m glad you informed her of how some in older generations may conflate her looks with that of skinheads or Nazis, but I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. Trust that you’ve raised a smart, thoughtful young adult who wants to express herself in her own way. She may receive some side-eyed glares from unenlightened people, but the ones who really matter will always have her back.
