Beards are masculine! Duh! But you better shave the mustache part off. Wouldn't want to look like a war-monger.

This is a good point IF a man had a beard it cannot be formed and trimmed but must grow like the Amish or Orthodox Jews. Most beard wearers don't want to follow this.

Amish men shave off the moustache.

That is ridiculous! Don't even go there! You don't walk on egg shells! To expect that of others is absurd!!

I can't tell whether SE is a man or a woman. I am so confused. I am thinking about becoming homosexual. (That's what they say about women in skirts! Women in pants are causing homosexuality!) SE is a line blurrer.

Enough said.

As long as he isn't making it a heaven or hell issue, which no one here is.

My wife is black and lots of black women don't shave their underarms.
