Iran doesn't like our fashion-sense

Iran has banned western-style haircuts and plucked eyebrows.

Of course women have been, by law, required to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting clothes, but this law applies also to men.
Women can receive lashes, fines and imprisonment, while barbers can be closed down and permanently lose their licenses for offering "western services".

I guess I don't know what to think of this. I think any law like this is stupid in the first place, but at least they're being less sexist this time?
