Why do Somalian females gotta be so much more light skin than the men?

You have horrible comprehension skills.I just stated exactly what you have.That there are no differences in melanin between men and women.
Um,it is a fact within dermatology that men have 25% thicker skin(where the hell did you get "tough" from jackass?).

You said tougher skin makes men darker tho?

the ones that have straight hair are mixed race. they are descended from non-african ethnic groups that have been absorbed into the native tribes. this is something most people don't know. East Africa is actually a very diverse region when it comes to races of people. Because of the close proximity to Asia, there are groups descended from Indians, Arabs, and Persians that have assimilated into the society. These are groups with straight hair and atypical african features. However, the VAST MAJORITY of native somalians don't have straight hair. they have hair texture more typical of black folks.

now its definitely not as kinky as west or central africans (primarily due to ancient amixture with caucasian groups going back thousands of years). but still within what would generally be considered "black hair."

the Afro is pretty much the most common hairstyle of east african men.








That was then, today, most Somalis have type 1a/b/c, 2a/b/c and 3a/b/c hair, while most of us Habesha have type 3c, 4a 4b and 4c hair.



Habesha type hair. Tigray men and women.

There are two Ethiopian girls at my job who bleach their face. Perhaps some Somali women do the same?
