Ponytails are OK until next spring, Army says in updated grooming message

Female soldiers may wear ponytails for at least another year, according to a recent message on grooming and appearance standards from the Army’s personnel office.

The service loosened its hairstyle regulations in an April 2021 memo that permitted women to wear ponytails in all uniforms, within limits, rather than the previously mandated hair buns.

The same memo allowed female soldiers to wear stud earrings and lipstick and nail polish in “non-extreme” colors, while donning the Army Combat Uniform. Troops may also wear highlights in their hair, provided the colors blend together and present a “professional and natural appearance.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is clearly discrimination against men.  If, as military wokeness maintains, there is no difference between men and women, why do the men not get to wear ponytails?  And how can they discriminate by sex if there is no difference between the sexes? :whistle:
