I find your defense very strained - essentially you're saying that Munroe draws 'stick figures with hair' and it is just coincidence that male 'stick figures with hair' are indistinguishable from a normal stick figure.
This is part of the 'othering' of women - "you look different to what 'normal' looks like".
In any case, common male hairstyles in anglo societies still stand out from the head, as much as the non-dangling part of ponytails.
