Why is that when women cut their hair short they say they feel empowered and free?

They mean that they don't feel bound by the rules of beauty that too many women and men still impose on each other. A woman with short hair is against most traditional norms and that's why they feel as though they are beyond the influence of the dominant societal position in that area. Gender roles are crap anyway. Whenever u feel like u are doing something because it's the "right" thing for a man or woman to do then u should reevaluate.

A false sense of temporary control, they are "going against the norm" and it makes them feel stronger. Just a sure sign of insecurity, afraid of getting lost in the pack I think. Your empowerment should come from within! Not from what others see or tell you.

Long hair has been a traditionally feminine thing for many generations. So cutting that hair to a more utilitarian hairstyle (meaning, easier to manage and less likely to get in the way so that you can do some real work) can be empowering. This was especially true back in the early 20th century. In the 20's, bobbing your hair was the 'in' thing to do, b/c many men at the time would not let their wifes and daughters cut their hair.
