Until about the turn of this century, when a man wanted to have a haircut, he went to a barber shop, usually to have his hair cut by an Indian barber, and women went to a hairdressing salon to do their hair.

This was the usual and traditional way men and women were defined in carrying themselves back in time. This was the norm between the sexes until somewhere down the line there was the emergence of the ‘unisex’ hairdressing salon.

In the beginning, there was absolutely nothing wrong with this, as there was no harm to both men and women. But this turn of events took on a dark and sinister twist when there developed a blurring of lines between males and females.

Men were coming in for feminine hair do’s and women wanted to have a more masculine outlook and feature, which in a turnaround, witnessed the growing trend and shift towards LGBTQ++ inclinations and behaviour.

No. Those who belong to the LGBTQ++ culture did not evolve as simply as that, not from a hybrid or the unisex hairdressing salon, but they created a setting to venture into deviant behaviour along with other trends followed by the LGBTQ++ community.

Is it a difficult task to get men to be just men and women to be just women by controlling and curtailing our experiments in sexual activity, and just return to our God-given roles, and be male and female once more and not have a third, unrecognisable grouping?
