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

Buddhism has been around for like 2500 years, that's only two thousands.
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.

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.
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.
