Sorry.
I have a different view than some here about Will, Jada and Chris. Chris was out of line, way out of line. Will did not handle it well. Shame on Chris for thinking this was funny.
However this is about a woman, Jada, that lost her hair due to alopecia as did Rep Ayanna Pressley. A woman's hair is important to them, they can't pull off baldness like a Yul Brenner can. It is a stigma and a source of ridicule for a woman. Women are mocked and ridiculed for their looks all the time, never mind being bald. Are we going to mock women cancer patients next? Under Chemo they lose their hair and may be dying. Shall we point at them and laugh.
My niece at 2 plus years had a bad fall and surgery and a scar. Her head was shaved. When my sister took her to the market people stared and kids pointed and laughed. She went home in tears. From that time on my sister put a hat on her so she was no longer laughed at and ridiculed.
This story is about Jada and women like her, the stigma that women go through everyday about their perceived looks by a society that decides what beauty and perfection is.
