why in our ultra sensitive, oh so touchy era, it is oh to make fun of men who have hair loss, and use any of the limited options to address it?

it's forbidden to make any jokes about a person who sees himself as feminine, grows his hair long and changes his name to a feminine form, but if a guy just sees himself as still having hair, he's fair game?

(overweight people (which also, I am not), are also exempt from this sensitivity, although there is a little more people can do about weight through habits - but not always)

is 'political correctness' about decency, or the flex of power?

He's nowhere near Trump's league. Trump is a narcissistic a-hole. Cain is a relatively benign buffoon, if you will.

I don't see how you can compare making fun of a person's ethnicity to making fun of a hairstyle.

trying to hide it in a way that does not really hide it.

The best result is the shaved head, IMO.

Donald Trump was born with a deferment from ridicule.

There are better options for addressing hair loss than sporting what appears to be a dead animal on your head.

Also, bald is sexy.

But for some reason I just can't do hair pieces. I don't mean to insult anyone but to me a hairpiece is just the ultimate turn off.
