Hi guys
Chris, to me, he is clearly using the natural example of a woman with her long hair as a covering, to back up his point that a woman should cover her head. You are taking the example and making the point out of it. Even nature, when speaking in those days, and I would argue even these days, teaches that a man with long hair is effeminate and a woman with short hair can look like a man. Even going back into Genesis we see woman covering themselves with a veil.
