"Androgynous" pictures on the Sartorialist?

These pictures on www.thesartorialist.com are labelled as "androgynous" (see the 'tags' used to categorize the pictures directly underneath the second shot).  I suppose this comes from the "emo-boy" hairstyle, because other than the hair, the woman in the pictures seems to be dressing in a style very typical of modern, stylish women, especially in the picture where she has a belt accentuating her waist, and leggings & a short skirt/tunic top used to accentuate her thighs.

I love this hairstyle- it's pretty much what I'm going for.  I guess I somewhat take offense to the idea that having short hair makes my appearance seem somewhat neutral or indecisive about which gender I want to present myself as.  Is long hair the only feminine hairstyle?  Am I being overly sensitive?  Am I subconsciously trying to present myself in a way that I do not consciously choose?  I don't think I'm trying to look like a boy...
