Thank you for publishing the inspiring article “New Feminism” by Rebecca Rose (June 9) showcasing the twists and turns of one woman’s tangled struggle to control how people comment on her hairstyle choices before, during, and after the quick cut. It certainly is a new feminism when women hope their partner’s go-to comment on aspects of their appearance is, “Why would I care about that?”

Hey, at least I read it!
