[Stars & Stripes] One week after the Army changed its policy to permit female service members to wear their hair in something other than a bun, the verdict from social media is anything but unanimous.

The change allows women to wear ponytails and braids in all duty uniforms, but a common complaint on social media forums like Facebook, Twitter and TikTok, particularly from men, is that the change makes unfair concessions to women.

Out of more than 200 comments on the Stars and Stripes Facebook page, several commenters, mostly men, pointed out the change as a softening of Army standards.

If they didn't have double standards they'd have ~~no standards at all~~ "equity".

"Wot's dis, Sgt. Lindsey?
Is Vogue now your whimsy?
Them mongols... hard rocks..
'ave you by your locks."

"Hmpf! I need my tresses,
if not all my dresses.
Y'all have pronouns now,
and high numbers on the Kinsey!"
