Gabby Douglas wins the GOLD but gets critisized for...her hair. - Page 2

post #11 of 16
How sad too that it's mostly African American women who were doing it. How weird. But I think in general women are hardest on women. Women tend to criticize women all too much. If you're a reality TV fan like I am, you see it all the time. The women always gang up on the other women and fight like alley cats all the time. Women rarely win because they take each other out instead of taking out men. Plus if a man and woman are at the end, even the women vote for the man because they're "mad" at the woman. Just ridiculous. I'm all for girl power!!

On another note. I watched every minute of women's gymnastics and not ONCE did I ever even notice her hair, much less to criticize it. Pathetic.

I watched a video about it, by an African American newswomen and she said something like "I guess we have issues about our hair."

 

She's wearing a ponytail just like every other gymnast.  I don't see what the big deal is either.

I think she's adorable & a fabulous role model for young girls of all races. I do know that hair is a big thing in the african american community, but all any of those girls have is either a very short haircut or have it pulled back in a ponytail. Not much else to do with it.

Like several other people have mentioned, I have never seen a female athlete compete with her hair "done." It's always pulled back out of her face and off her neck. 

She's an Olympic gymnast, not an Olympic cosmetologist.

Wow!  That's sad how people can be so mean.  I think she is a doll!  And I also think her hair is cute in the photos.

She's adorable and an incredible athlete. The only reason for anyone to cririsize her, is because they're jealous.
