The backlash to Harry Styles 'shaving his head' is actually quite problematic—and it's affecting men

As a woman approaching 30, it seems needless to say I'm a Harry Styles fan. I like his music, I like his overall vibe and I very much like his appearance. So, when rumours starting swirling a few days ago that Harry Styles had shaved his head, I was somewhat invested—as much as a run-of-the-mill person who likes Harry Styles can be, anyway.

When gossip account Deuxmoi (think modern-day Gossip Girl for Hollywood's elite) shared an image last week that reportedly showed Styles sporting a buzzcut at a U2 concert in Las Vegas with rumoured girlfriend, Taylor Russell, social media went into meltdown. The post, which you can see below, shows a very blurry image of someone who looks a lot like Harry Styles with a shaved head. My interest in this matter, as somewhat of a Harry Styles fan, stretched as far as me clicking on the image, looking at it, making a 'hmm' sound and then forgetting all about it.
