<> I'm the writer, I have a wife and four little kids. The issue here is that there are those who believe that their beard defines their masculinity. I'm not writing about a bunch of old codgers who have had beards their entire life or the Duck Dynasty people who are generally fairly old. I'm writing about young people who are wearing beards in large numbers. They're doing so in a desperate attempt to regain their masculinity from a overly feminized society and/or a society that really hates men and masculinity. I'm suggesting they're going about it in all the wrong ways. A beard doesn't make a man, how he treats women, loves his children and most importantly how much he loves Christ makes a man.

Some 37 years ago when I first grew a beard there was two sexuals as such. One was normal one was not. The good was Heterosexual the ones attracted to the opposite sex. The other was Homosexual who were attracted to same sex and people wisely avoided.

The terms of other sexual are greatly overused and the term homosexual is very underused to appease homosexuals so their perversions of once good meaning or other meaning words could be used as more acceptable terms for their lifestyle. Society unfortunately allowed them to get by with it. :>}
