does a man not shaving his face make him empowered?
In certain circles it does -- "there's a word for people without a beard: women", etc.
I wonder, in these circles, do women find a bushy beard attractive? Or do they not have a choice of partner? Or do they make a choice based on some other criteria?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
