Sikh Boys And Their Attitudes Towards Girls With Hair

[Guest Curious]

I was curious - our religion asks both men and women to keep hair. However wherever I go I don't see women keeping hair (arm hair, leg hair, eyebrow hair, upper lip hair etc)

Even the American white sikh women 3HO who are quite famous don't keep full body hair. You can clearly see in their videos that they do upper lip and eyebrow plucking.

I was curious about whether the men like it this way and therefore haven't encouraged the women to keep their hair. Surely we should be raising our sikh boys with the view that they marry a sikh girl who keeps full body hair.

Also I've noticed there is a huge emphasis on boys having the turban but none for the girls. No wonder many singhs remove turban when girls are cutting hair. Most don't want to be the Singh that settled for the 'one with facial hair' when there are other girls who remove their hair for them to choose from. Maybe if all Sikh girls kept their full body hair none of this hair thing would be an issue as everyone would be keepin it.

Sikh boys have not been bought up in the culture that if they wear a turban and keep their own hair that they should marry a girl who keeps her bodily hair too. Sad but true thing if our time. Sikh boys are hypocritical.

Why should the men have to encourage the women to keep hair? Men and women are equal. No one encourages us to keep hair and nor do we have any expectations. We keep our hair for ourselves and for our sikhi. not for the women. In the same way, women shouldnt be doing it for anyone but themselves and their guru.
