For a while my wife had short hair, while I wore my hair relatively long, with a beard. I was also a bodybuilder, which means a VERY masculine figure.

Anyway, young kids would stare at us as if we were aliens. I would explain to them that being a man doesn't mean I can't have longer hair and that being a woman doesn't need to wear her hair long, either. But the kids were mesmerized.

My sisters husband has long hair too and gets the same. It always makes him laugh when they call him miss/mrs and he just lets them know men can have long hair. Kids just haven't seen much yet and long hair equals woman to them until they encounter something outside that.

I thought the same thing as a kid. Like how I thought dogs with pointy ears are cats.
