The scripture is clear that in keeping your hair short you are dishonouring your husband...or, if you are not married, the God-established order of the man over the woman:Nope, not vanity - it's a choice because I do not share your views and therefore feel I can make my own decisions about whether I grow my hair longer or keep it short , Same with regards to wearing trousers - ( sorry pants, I forgot your in the USA)
I wish there was a dislike botton on this forum , or perhaps a thumbs down -

1Co 11:3, But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 11:4, Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
1Co 11:5, But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
The butch look and and attitude is common among lesbians. If it were a shame to even have such a look or attitude, I imagine that people would be discouraged from entering into that lifestyle. But because that attitude and look is exalted, there are those who are desensitized to the whole of what that is all about. Likewise with men who have long hair and want to be perceived as women. The distinction between the genders is lost and therefore, when people want to cross gender lines and commit homosexuality, there is less of a restraining factor than if we lived by the established rules of propriety that determine the difference between men and women.
The scripture in question deals with subjection to the authority of who is over you as a head...and therefore if women do not recognize the authority of the men in their lives, this shows that there is a deeper problem...that people in society do not recognize the authority of Christ over them who is the greater head over all of humanity (and especially the church).
