I remember CNN ran an article about how “in North Korea women are only allowed six different hair styles”, and it was illustrated with a pic from a DPRK hair salon with a hairdresser standing in front of a poster with like ten different cuts, none of which the hardresser had herself.

It’s just wild how cartoonishly lazy western propaganda is.

It can be lazy because their audience is gullible.

Oh, absolutely. And most people are just going to take a quick glance at the header and file it under “Reasons why North Korea bad”. I’m sure very few people actually read this shit.

And because they want to believe it. Choosing to believe it, despite how obviously false all the propaganda is, allows them to feel better about themselves and the countries they live in.

That’s because the hairdresser was part of the politburo, she was above the law

Kids in American middle school getting written up for not having one of these haircuts, by a teacher that wants you to know how free we all are.

In primary school I was told I’d have to wear a ponytail if I grew my hair out because I’m AMAB, and I think it’s the single biggest factor in delaying my transition. I could have figured this stuff out when I was 10 if I’d been allowed to experiment at my own pace.

My all-boys high school had a rule that hair couldn’t be long enough to touch your shirt collar. Being allowed a ponytail would have been an upgrade if I hadn’t just stopped following the rules.

The only person able to tell you how to wear your hair should be your employer at a private corporation.
