Is long hair only for girls? They criticize Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth because their sons have long hair

Since they are born, children grow up surrounded by stereotypes imposed by adults such as that pink is for them and blue for them, or that long hair is girls and short hair is boys. They are stereotypes that are slowly disappearing, but that still raise a stir, especially when you see small boys with long hair.

"They look like a girl," "why don't you cut their hair?" "Taking a four-year-old boy with a ponytail is not the best thing to do" are some of the criticisms that Elsa Pataky and her husband Chris Hemsworth have to endure on the long hair of her twins Sasha and Tristan, four years old. The couple also has a six-year-old girl, India, and the three look beautiful blonde hair which leads many people to think that their three children are girls.

"We love that they have long hair"

A few days ago we also talked about criticism of Megan Fox because her children have long hair, but what do others have to say about how others' children wear hair? It is believed that in the era of social networks everything is critical, and even more so when it comes to celebrities. Judge how everyone raises their children has become common currency. Fortunately children are not affected by these criticisms and are happy with their blond hair.

In the confidences section of her blog, Elsa Pataky responds to a reader who asks about her children's long hair:

"Chris and I both love that they have long hair, and not only India, but also boys. Tristan's hair grows very fast and he does not care to have it long or short, but Sasha who He has come out quite late, he is delighted with his hair, India also wants it long, although sometimes he does not want to comb his hair, because of the pulls, but, as I say that if he does not comb his hair, he comes running to brush it. And, as we are lucky that the boys have long hair here, nobody cares, or they give you the can to cut it, including grandmothers! "

Boys with long hair

Neither long hair is from girls nor short hair from boys, or can they not wear short hair? But nevertheless, It is not entirely clear that children wear long hair. There are many schools that prohibit children from going to class with too long and even older hair, nor is it well seen in the workplace.

Hair length is usually related to femininity, but this makes no sense. A boy is no less masculine for wearing long hair (historically it was a sign of strength and power), nor is it male for a girl to wear short hair. In fact, I find it very feminine.

If a child chooses to wear long hair and has the support of their parents, they should not worry or be influenced by the malicious comments of others. They they have the right to build their own image with which they feel more identified. And as it seems that in Australia, where the family lives, it is quite common for boys to wear long hair (there is a lot of surfer there), for children it is simply one more option.

Below we can see the twins with their blond hair in a photo that the actress has hung a few days ago. If you notice, children always appear on their backs with their hairs in the wind.

Bravo for Elsa and her husband who allow their children the freedom to choose to wear long hair and give everyone a lesson to banish gender stereotypes Among the little ones.
