11:14 For a man to have long hair, carefully adjusted, is such a mark of effeminacy as is a disgrace to him.
1Co 11:14,15 Doth not even nature itself teach you?, etc. It is nature's arrangement that men should wear short hair, and a woman long. For a man to have long hair and a woman to be shorn are violations of nature's teachings.
Aren't we (including Paul) really talking about masculinity VS effeminacy? And is this really something we want to beat each other over the hairy head with?
