Design By Flora: 'Losing their hair is like losing their thumb'

[Tracy C]

You are correct to some extent. People are more sympathetic about women who suffer with hair loss. However, out in the real world women with hair loss are still treated like lepers by most people. Men with hair loss are usually not treated like lepers. Sympathy offers so little comfort it is barely worth mentioning. If I had to choose between the jokes and being treated like a leper, I would choose the jokes. It's the lesser of the two evils.
