T
he question why I would
let Willow cut her
hair.
First, the 'let' must be
challenged. This is a world where women, girls, are
constantly reminded that they don't
belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own,
nor their power or self determination.
I made a
promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know
that her body, mind and spirit are all her domain.
Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth, is
not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement
that claims that even little girls have the
right
to own themselves and
should not be a slave
to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes
and desires. Even little girls
should not be a slave
to preconceived ideas of what a culture believes they should
be.
