Given the lack of context provided by the study (what commentary can you have about female beauty standards if you don't compare them, using the same methodology, to male standards?) I conclude that this study is only useful for a conversation about genderless conformity in the news room. If the author offers data on women's haircuts, in order to make the commentary you are making, they must also study men's hair.
The burden of proof is on the person making the claim that there is inequality. If the study doesn't demonstrate inequality then you can not use the study (in isolation) to prove inequality or to throw the burden of matching the statistics on the other side.
Every news anchor's appearance is carefully curated to present a safe face for the network.
