The reasons I believe females are accepting TWAW and the TiMs in our bathrooms and spaces, those who do, have the combination of those things going on, and their internal workings show that a wig means safe. Long hair means safe. Is not a male.

Sorry, OP, I get your overall points, but the idea that long hair=safe and not male is just plain silly.

In a vast number of cultures around the world at various times in history, tons of men customarily wore their hair very long - and no one thought this signified "safe - is not a male."

Men from the Indian subcontinent who are Sikhs don't cut their hair. That famous Jewish guy from Palestine named Jesus and all his male disciples known as the 12 apostles had long hair. So did a Biblical character called Samson; his long hair was what gave him his male strength, in fact, which is why his male power was diminished when Delilah cut it.

Men in all sorts of tribes native to the Americas traditionally had long hair. So did many of the men of European origin who colonized and settled the Americas. The Native American character played by Daniel Day Louis in "Last of the Mohicans" defo did not come off as safe and not male. Ditto the character played by Mel Gibson - and most of the other males of various ethnicities fighting on all sides in the American Revolution - in "Patriot." Not to mention the macho Scot that Gibson played in "Braveheart," a movie in which all the very macho men have long hair. And none come off as either safe or not male.

All the sexy, hunky pirates in "Black Sails" have long hair - and none seem either safe nor not male for it. Same goes for Johnny Depp in his pirate roles. Same goes for all the Scottish guys and the British troops in the 18th century parts of "Outlander."

IIRC, the Sikh soldier played by Naveen Andrews in the WW2 film "The English Patient" had hair down to his ass - and the length of his hair and his haircare routines were seen as part of what made him incredibly strong and sexually alluring in a 100% male way.

In the 2005 movie of "Pride & Prejudice," Rupert Friend as George Wickham has very long hair - which added to his male sex appeal and heightened that he was a disreputable, untrustworthy cad - definitely not safe to the young woman he led astray and absconded with.

In the West in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, many men wore their hair to or well beyond their shoulders. Check out some classic rock and glam videos. The long hair sported by The Doors, Led Zeppelin, KISS and a TON of other male rockers did not signal that these men were not male or safe. On the contrary, for many it went hand in hand with their very out-there macho male sexuality and heightened their dangerous, bad boy image. Many of these men were widely known to be sexually abusive of girls and women and quite violent; they frequently trashed their hotel suites and their guitars on stage. So they came off as the opposite of safe.

Similarly, many women in Western countries in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s etc - as well as in other very different decades like the 1920s - wore their hair quite short. Some of us in the punk and new wave eras had buzz cuts and shaved our heads.

And at different points in history, both men and women have routinely worn wigs. Cuz of fashion, custom, baldness, lice and all sorts of unsightly scalp conditions. The term "powder room" originally did not mean toilet or loo as we think today - it meant a room where servants took wigs to powder them. Many of the wigs Louis XIV of France wore had long full locks that went down near to his elbows, others went to his shoulders but were teased up high off his skull - but no one ever regarded him as "not male" or as safe, docile and posing no threat.
