No, but if you’re a smug condescending prick in stating your opinion, be prepared for some backlash.
Couldn’t agree more.
Opinions and opinions; its what we’re here for right? But “trigger warnings” and “prepared for backlash” seem to promote a bunker mentality, not open discourse. Unless its sitting on some huge central column, a table with only one leg is useless.
We are sorry that not every table lives up to your ideals on furniture beauty.
In my humble, misguided, misinformed, frequently senseless opinion, some women, not many, only a few, may possibly in certain outlying circumstances look somewhat, slightly, impercitibly horrible with one side of their head shaved. I apologize and on bended knee beg the forgiveness of the board for expressing myself on this subject which is none of my business. In addition I shall attempt from now on and forever to never ever have an opinion again.
What do you think?
I think you sound like excellent husband material.
What kind of fantasy marriage allows a husband to complete three long sentences without interruption?
Well played, sir (or madam), well played!
Oh, absolutely not! Otherwise, we’d all be deprived of such clear, concise, totally on-topic discussion, like we have here. I mean, who would rather be sidelined by irrelevancies? This way, we’re all so much better informed and no one wasted their time, right? The sheer joy this has wrought can’t be surpassed for clarity’s sake!

You’ve been a really good sport about this. Props to you.
I don’t think this goes far enough to let everyone know that it’s solely your opinion. Do you think you could add a couple more qualifiers just in case?
Husband material is not the same as husband. The “one five-word sentence a day” rule goes into effect after the wedding. ![]()
Same here - only it was 1988 or so, and I wanted a checkerboard shaved into the side of my head like Cyndi Lauper in the “Time After Time” video. My mom wouldn’t let me.
Now, as a grown-ass woman, I saw Avril Lavigne’s hair and was like “Dude. Seriously. That style died 25 years ago.”
I think it looks retardiculous, but I’m not the arbiter of what’s cool these days. In the common parlance, this is called “getting old.” You’re doing it and so am I. I’m not trying to date women who’ve done this, though, so I have literally no stake in the matter.
In the culture of my wife, they have a word for women like this: Fodongas. Apparently the internet is infested with them.
Yes, she looks hot, but that’s not because of the half-shaved head, it’s in spite of it. She’d look hotter with a full head of hair.
And yes, that’s just my opinion of course. It’s sad and ridiculous that I need to point out such a vastly, ridiculously, blindingly obvious thing. But let me officially state, on the record, that I am simply stating my personal subjective opinion, and am not omnipotently declaring an objective concept of beauty that all must or should adhere to. I also am also neither prescribing nor suggesting penalties to any person, of any gender, who decides to shave all or part of their head. I am also neither stating nor implying that I will, in the present or the future, be somehow forced to look at hairstyles, with a shaved component or otherwise, against my will.
My wife had to have 3 brain surgeries a few years ago. She’s much better now!
Anyway they just shave one side of her head around where the incision was. That looked very bad! We’d shave the rest of it so she could wear a wig plus the hair would all grow out at the same time.
You all are really concerned, a lot, with what other people do that don’t affect you.
And now some of the rest of you are cracking me up beyond belief. Because this has got to be a joke, right? No one can be this obtuse to not understand the difference between an opinion, [paraphrasing], “I think that haircut looks stupid on her.” (obvious in that you’re only speaking for yourself) and, “Women look horrible with one side of their head shaved. That’s all.” (an absolute that brooks no disagreement). Truly, c’mon. Even the aforementioned Dio knew when he did this, what consternation it caused, but just wouldn’t admit it. I trust you guys, who once again I’d like to point out that the OP isn’t one of, can do better than that. If not, bwahahahahahaha!
Calm down, Faithfool. You’re being hysterical.
Ah, bless you’re heart. You keep saying stuff like that, Inky, and you’ll ruin your hyper-sensitive, I’m highly attuned to all things feminist / self-aware / new agey cred. 
Since beauty is inherently a subjective value, even if someone writes or says “<Whatever> is ugly/attractive” in that form, it should be completely obvious that the writer is stating an opinion. But of course people have leap to upon their precious offense opportunities.
I thought that was what this forum, and pretty much the whole board was about.
All the whining about how no one is free to give their opinion has been much louder and more shrill than the negative responses the OP received. So I’m confused over who is supposed to be preciously offended and hypersensitive.
