Two articles, same writer.
The first, from Sept. 2019: Why Ivanka Trump’s new haircut should make us very afraid
The second, from Oct. 2019: The uproar over AOC's hair is a reminder that women can't win under the patriarchy
I saw these stories here: notthebee.com/article/oh-this-is-just-precious
But how can someone lack that much self-awareness? She complains about women unfairly catching heat for their fashion/grooming choices after doing exactly that to Ivanka. Tool.

It is possible Trump just felt like cutting her hair. But if the Trumps care about anything, it is image; I wouldn’t dismiss the idea that Trump’s new cut is an attempt to get us to take her politicking more seriously. Women’s hair, after all, is tangled up in traditional ideas of femininity. There is a reason so many female politicians sport a short style known as the political bob (pob): it is less “feminine”, which makes them seem more powerful. So be afraid, be very afraid: Trump’s new do may well signify that she has ramped up her political ambitions. God help us all if she goes brunette.
The to-do about AOC’s ’do isn’t just yet another example of Republican hypocrisy, however. It’s also a depressing reminder that being a woman means being forced to walk an impossible tightrope everyday. You’re criticized if you don’t look good, but you’re also criticized if you look too good. You’re either a slut or a prude. You’re told to lean in and speak up at work, but you’re called a bossy bitch if you speak up too much. Women simply can’t win when they play by the patriarchy’s rules. Which is why we need to stop playing by the patriarchy’s rules and lean all the way out.
