| Battle of the Sexes: What about facial hair?
Facial hair gets a bad rap. It’s true and I won’t deny it. I’ve had some manner of whiskers on my face for a little more than two years, beginning with an admittedly dubious goatee in high school. In a way, I’m carrying on my father’s legacy: When he attended JMU in the 1970s, he rocked a rather impressive mustache. I doubt I’ll ever live up to my father’s mustachioed magnificence, yet I persevere and encourage my fellow men to do the same. Why, you ask? Because it’s about character. I can’t defend facial hair in the eyes of women. If they decide they like men who shy away from the slightest stubble, that’s their decision. (Though one wonders, because these are usually the same women who prefer furry boots.) But I can defend the beauteous beard, the mighty mustache, the charming chinstrap, spectacular sideburns and the grand goatee on their own merit.
