Here she is: dreadlock surgeon, prepping her tools There are many reasons why. Here is the short version: I have learned more about the history of dreadlocks and their significance as a symbol of Rastafarianism and black/African resistance to white supremacy. All of this learning, reading and conversing caused me to honestly examine my motivations for locking my hair.
Here is the longer version: A few months ago, I came across a reference online to dreadlocks on white people as cultural appropriation. Then I heard fellow poet Jillian Christmas reference “white-girl dreadlocks” in her poem Black Feminist, which she performed at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in November. I read a few articles online about cultural appropriation and the origin of dreadlocks. And then I started a conversation on facebook. Here’s what I posted: From the 116 comments, here are a few that most stuck with me: Like this: Why I Wear Nail Polish — Gender Justice/Feminism. A teenage girl sat across from me on the tram today. “Excuse me,” she asked, “are you a boy or a girl?” “Boy,” I replied. She leaned back and said, “So why are you wearing nail polish?” I stared at her, taken aback by the venom in her voice.
“No reason,” I eventually responded. She and her friend shared an ugly look. What I didn’t tell her “Hey,” I didn’t stand up and call after her, “you really want to know why I’m wearing nail polish?” “The first time I wore red nail polish it was smeared on my fingers by a group of laughing kids in a small village in the Andean mountains. “How dare you try to take that away from me,” I didn’t snarl. Break rules & challenge power She didn’t have a problem with nail polish itself.
She said no. Of course she did. Add in a bit of feminism Femininity in boys blurs the black-and-white boundaries of the social order, which is why a 2011 clothing ad featuring a young boy wearing pink nail polish was called blatant transgender child propaganda.
