Letter: His crowning glory
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Why does Amanda Armstrong assume that men who wear ponytails and suits do so only to show how caring they are ('Tails that ought to end', 2 July)? My partner possesses a glorious ponytail from his student days and is reluctant to cut it off. Not because he wants to appear a sensitive New Man, but simply because he thinks his hair is beautiful. It also suits his rather individual taste in off-duty clothes. So why should he lose his crowning glory just because his job forces him into a suit? Perhaps Ms Armstrong would prefer that he stayed at home instead?
Yours faithfully,
