Many straight men straighten their hair, many gay men straighten their hair. Stop stereotyping.

    Why is every part of hair called bangs these days? Here, her fringe is over her eyes. I've heard pigtails called that, too. Why is everything going so wrong?!

    This is actually a good point. How do all of those characters get so ripped, but you never see them exercise? It seems that Skeletor probably works out so that the ladies don't notice his bony face, but then you never see him at a dinner party...
