Bun hate on King of Queens

[LongHairLesbian]

I already don't like King of Queens, but this episode really annoyed me. The main character acts so entitled and obnoxious about his wife's desire to wear her hair in a bun, as if she is required to look "sexy" for him all the time. He says that buns make a woman look like an uptight librarian, like an old woman, ugly and unfeminine. His wife couldn't look anything other than beautiful if she tried, and the bun looks very professional and comfortable to wear. Urg it's so irritating, even if you don't love it, it's her hair, and she's happy and comfortable with a bun. Do any of the folks here encounter attitudes like this, or have partners with similar opinions?

That video wasn't available in my country (the US), but here's a link that worked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGl2PDiqtZc.

That bun looks great on her! And, I mean, I understand him having preferences, but he's so rude about expressing them!

I used to watch that show sometimes since it was on when I got home from high school; it seems to be one of those shows where the following seems to occasionally be the plot: "women doing things that aren't exclusively for men's enjoyment? hilarious!!"

Keep in mind that this is a very stupid show, with very stupid characters. Especially Doug is supposed to be an idiot, right?

I didn't watch the whole ting. Way too annoying!

I get those kind of remarks from my sister.

I hated that show. Bun looks great on her. And funnily enough my SO prefers buns over wearing my hair down, though he never makes a point of it. ^^

Sarah, have you ever told your sister that her comments make you feel bad?

An excellent critique, Stiria! Why waste electricity on something as insipid as that?!

As far as buns in general...yes, they do have a dowdy reputation to fight. Buns are associated with frustrated, uptight, mean ole librarians..or old school marms. Stereotyped, that's what they are. No one realizes that buns can look spectacular if done right. Look at Torrin Paige's Hawser bun! So many bun choices...but people are fixated on scraped back. mean old lady bun. They need their horizons expanded!

Yes. She is convinced that she knows best what looks good on me.
