Within a month of Glory coming out, it seemed like every Black male in our offices below the age of 40 had gone with the shaved hairstyle of Denzel’s character. (Including one of my enlisted sailors, but admittedly on him it looked good.) I asked a Black female colleague (my boss’ civilian secretary, who did NOT put up with b.s.) if she was going to tell these guys that getting a haircut like Denzel did not magically give them the sex appeal of Denzel; she rolled her eyes and gave me her opinion on young Black male egos regarding their attractiveness to women.
