Then why is long hair still commonly sported by manly men in other Christian countries such as Spain or Italy? |
Because they are Catholic, and generally speaking Catholics tend to be less concerned with taking every last verse and prohibition in the Bible literally, since they have authoritative interpretations of the Church to fall back on. |

Of course there is! Christianity is thriving outside Europe.

Yes, there is such a thing as modern Christianity. The liberal movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries -- higher criticism, anti-literalism, anti-historicism -- is sometimes called "modernism." And "fundamentalism" is actually itself a modern movement, as it was a reaction against the liberalization of Christianity, and against the attempt to cede ground to science by de-emphasizing literal interpretations of the Bible. Fundamentalism is what happens when traditionalist religion becomes problematic because of modern conditions, and people want to turn the clock back to the "old ways" and the "original church." |

I was referring more to the "conventional notions of masculinity" argument. |

... fundamentalists to reserve the image of Jesus as "special and unique"

Here it is... if Jesus is so sacred, and people are generally selfish satanists to other people "who are just some other person" able to be used and deprived of equal earthly rights --- then we must attack those who look like Jesus so that they don't defile our icon.
I do not support these beleifs, but thought I would see if anyone cares to have a discussion on this.
for example:

compare
Yet in Corinthians - it says long hair is shameful - yet the popular image of Jesus is with long hair?
Yet Nazarite's arn't able to shave their heads as part of their vows...
Hmmm was Jesus unholy and unable to pray without dishonor to his father? Or is there an exclusion for Jesus, or is paul maybe not telling the full truth? As he wrote Corinthians aparently 40+ years two generations after Jesus was crucified. Odd that whence paul wrote from greece to ancient greeks it symbol of prestige while to be shaven was for slaves. Stylistically the Romans who had conquered Pauls Greece wore short hair... this seems to counter the image of Jesus and presents paul as a liar promoting Roman customs within the practices of the followers of Jesus that would counter the nazarite act of devotion to christ and the greek custom of greatness in long hair.
Odd, no? |
stfu and cut your hair |

All men in the military, a masculine culture by and large, wear their hair short - a requirement for being a soldier but still a convention held specifically to men. Women in our military don't have a requirement for shaved heads. Most fraternity brothers also wear short hair-cuts.
I'm one of the few men in my town with long hair. It's safe to say that a quick survey will yield a 95% short-hair-cuts for men when I head out in fifteen or so minutes. So, yes, short hair is a convention of masculinity. |
