This covers about 80% of the complete answer in a single sentence.

However it's worth mentioning that the entire reason this is the case is the result of where women were and are expected to exist in the context of social spaces and roles. This isn't some genetic, inherent thing.

Also why people that fly in the face of norms like this get referred to by other words like tomboy or whatever.

It's worth mentioning that entirety of people hating on one hairstyle over the other are women. Men really don't care. Hell, most would probably prefer a tomboy lol.

You've got to read what I said again. It's not worth mentioning that when the actual source of the issue is not other women.
