›› Facial Hair
Men grow hair on
their faces. They're supposed to do that, it's natural. Of course,
these men don't let themselves go completely to seed. No, they
carefully groom themselves each day, with a process of moisturizing,
shaving, primping and tweezing, to make themselves ready to face the
day.
So what is with women having facial hair? And worst of all, not doing
anything to tame it, conceal it or deal with it? I don't mean to be
heartless. I'm sure that for reasons beyond their control, these poor
women have been struck with some rare condition that makes their facial
hair grow in greater quantities than is normally seen on women. But one
would think that that would simply call for a more rigorous grooming
routine. Don't give me those old wives tales about hair growing in
thicker if you shave it. Who cares how the hair feels? Get rid of it!
Facial hair on a woman is downright nasty. I don't care if it becomes
barbed wire when you shave - get rid of it. Shave it off, pluck it out,
mow it down! But that nasty facial hair needs to be gone!
There's a woman who works as a security guard in my building where I
work. She is quite overweight - I'm not being insensitive - it's an
obviously fact. And this poor girl also is afflicted with facial hair
that's simply out of control. But does she shave it? Does she cut it?
Does she at least attempt to conceal it in some way? But no. She allows
thick black hairs to sprout out of her face at all angles and at all
lengths to their hearts content. I'm beginning to think it's some sort
of a garden - but listen up girlie! That's not vegetation that you're
growing. You got a beard going on and it's not doing you any favors.
It's downright ugly!
Facial hair on a man has its place and every man has a right to choose
whether he will have a beard, a mustache or a goatee. However, facial
hair on a woman is unacceptable in our society. And, just as a man must
maintain his grooming regimen to remain attractive, women cannot just
let a problem like this go and expect it to go unnoticed.
Let's just hope I don't have my tweezers handy the next time I see that
security guard. Would tweezers be considered a weapon? I just might
give her a lesson or two.
