You simply wouldn`t know that as an fact unless it actually happened.
Also: That is a standard nun-cut (kinda.) Long hair is considered vain. Her hair is slightly longer than nuns back in the day.
Every decision Blizzard makes has those who like it and those who hate it. I'll bet you a hoard of pirate treasure that if they made the female monk bald, the majority would despise it saying it's not a womanly thing.
I'm on the fence - I don't hate the female monk, I don't love the female monk - but the only problem I have personally with her is the shoulderpads.

They will surley be fixed since they are fixing the fe-barbarian. The monk come later in design in all aspects I guess. But it will be "perfect". Im sure of it!

True, but the difference is that you said "Nobody".

Because nobody would like it and they wouldn't shut up about it until the game is either launched or changed.
Like I have already asked: How would you know that nobody would like a bald female monk?
Besides, having a bald female monk isn't actually a strange practice: Chinese female buddhist monks (or nuns) have always been shaved bald for thousands of years. Actually, scratch that, ALL Buddhist nuns are shaved bald.
Furthermore, having a shaved head doesn't obscure a woman's feminine features at all if you are already a beauty:

Oh for sure, I don't doubt that most of the classes will have changes made before release. I'm fairly sure the pics of the monk are just concept art right now anyways, right? We have yet to see her in-game.

Yeah I could have said "Well on average 68.3% of users taking the "Bald Monk" poll voted "I don't like it" " but I chose to use the word "Nobody" instead, since it's short and easy. Obviously there are people who would like it, but I believe most people would not. All the coments I see in the B.Net forums are all along the lines of:
"The female monk looks like a man her hair is too short"
"Why does she have dyed hair, and it's too short, she doesn't look womanly. And she's not showing enough skin."
"If I couldn't see her tits I'd think it was a man she needs longer hair."
So I apologize for using the word "Nobody."

I 100% agree that having a shaved head doesn't obscure a woman's femininity. I will, however, point out to you that most of the internet doesn't agree with people like us. To give you an example, Mass Effect 2. The character named Jack, tattooed up buzz cut sporting girl, very awesome character, cool story, powerful teammate. 90% of the forum readers who decided to comment despise her because she "looks like a man" and "she dresses like a lesbian." They can't see past the short hair and tattoos to the beauty hiding beneath.
Buddhism has been around for like 2500 years, that's only two thousands. Female monks (nuns) as far as I recall do (did?) not share the same status or privileges as the males. I think it was 2002 when the first female "monk" was ordained... 2002. That would be the tail end of times changing I think since I'm fairly sure they weren't allowed the title of monk 2500 years ago.

Right, and when D3 is released, we fans have already shaped it a bit. Its important that we say what we like and dislike. And hopefully Blizzard might change things to the better if we spotted something they haven't thought of. But the characters.. That "theme of graphic design" being covered 100% - But later on we have the skills, and I think thats a bit harder for them.

I personally think it has more to do with her attitude. It makes her very unapproachable and unlikable.

That makes it one of the most ancient religions in history of man, along with Hinduism and Judaism. In contrast Christianity is only a little less than 2000 years old.

You partially correct.
Female Buddhist nun do not share the same status as male monks, but only in Indochina, which means Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, etc, as well as Tibet.
It was 20002 when the first female monk IN THAILAND was ordained.
Nuns in China and India had been ordained ever since Buddha allowed women to be nuns, which is about 2500 years ago.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

My point was "thousands of years" sounds a LOT longer than 2500.

I meant to add the Thailand part, but skipped over it when typing. Will edit*
My point about woman being monks/nuns is: Because they weren't allowed the same title as the men, were they trained to fight with the men? I'm pretty sure just about every country didn't allow female warriors.. Not sure. That has nothing to do with our argument since the monk in Diablo is in a different universe and loosely based on the Monk from our world.
Even if something is created and paused, it doesn't necessarily means they can't come back and improve it. NPC, Characters, Enviroments, Skills and Patherns are tweekt until the release (year 2011?!)
Yes, Blizzard have talked about how they do that alot. They go back and change stuff all the time.
Very big example was the Barbarian whirlwind after a comment by someone "Don't that enemy (dont remember the name) hade a similar but more awsome whirlwind attack then the barbarian?" I think Blizzard team became silent and later on changed it.
See the diablo 3 as an chipped saphire, or whatever jewelry you like and the time is the Horadric Cube.. LoL.

The most fun part was that they didn't tone down the monster's whirlwind, but made the Barbarian's more epic.
That`s an subjective opinion.
You simply wouldn`t know that as an fact unless it actually happened.

Natalie Portman, anyone?
