38. All of those you mention are men who don't have to "style" a woman's short hair cut

Its immensely time consuming and requires a LOT of styling aids.

I'm guessing Hillary has decided enough! of the hair style bullshit.

She's got one of the most time consuming, wearying jobs on the face of the planet. Maintaining an elaborate (short) style would be so irritating on top of the rest of it.

She's not a model. She's not known for being a style maven.

She's got a brain and she's using it to manage her scarce hours on FAR better things than her hairstyle.
