People on TikTok are not happy with the trend, which comes off the heels of other 4b movement missions against President-elect Donald Trump
Some social media users have started to fight back after women are shaving their heads to protest President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration.
What started as a trend on TikTok for women to shave their heads in protest of the election results has become somewhat a more sensitive topic for others with alopecia and those who had to shave their heads for diseases like cancer, conditions where baldness is not always a choice.
“To the women shaving their head for the 4B Movement, you say you’re saving your head so ‘men won’t want you’ but does that mean that men shouldn’t want women that have struggled with hair loss due to alopecia or chemo?” a TikTok user @xlaurnalexis posted with a slide show of photos of her. “You’re (sic) actions are very selfish and it’s only effecting (sic) the women that have struggled with hair loss. Should we not be able to feel loved by a man?”
Newsweek reached out to Lauryn as well as other TikTok users on the issue.
@alyssakp1 shared a “PSA” that she is bald but not for political reasons.
“I bald because my body hates me, not because I hate men”, @alyssakp1 posted. “Justice for the alopecia baddies and the hair loss community.”
The trend of women shaving their heads seems to have started with Maria Barbieri, who posted under the handle @girl_dumphim. Barbieri said she woke up “feeling spicy” and used both a razor and clippers to say “f*** being all the things that the patriarchy wants us to be because, clearly, they don’t give a s*** about us.
