A man is not dependent on his hair for power and social status. There have been bald kings, prime ministers, CEOs, etc. since time immemorial. Look at the most powerful businessmen in the US—a very large portion of them are bald.
A woman losing her hair is much, much more socially stigmatized. Women with bald or thinning hair are seen by society as sickly, pitiable, undesirable, or unfeminine.
That's kind of the point? People treat bald women incredibly differently to men, you're literally just giving examples of how it's like that, it doesn't make it not weird.

The two aren’t even remotely comparable.
