A study released last month suggests that, regardless of actual personal actions or beliefs, men with facial hair are perceived as being more sexist than those without.
Written by Rebekah Herrick, a professor at Oklahoma State University, the study showed candidates pictures of men in Congress with and without facial hair. They were also shown on a scale, including clean-shaven men, men with stubble, men with mustaches, and men with full beards.
"Pictured members of Congress with facial hair were perceived by our student subjects as more masculine, and less supportive of feminist issue positions, although not more willing to support deployment of force," she wrote. In other words, according to people's perceptions, men with beards are less "concerned" with the plight of women.
"These stereotypes, in turn, may affect the electability of politicians with beards or mustaches," Dr. Herrick continued. "Our experimental results did not show that men with facial hair were less electable overall than men without beards or mustaches. But women and self-identified feminists among our experimental subjects said they were less likely to vote for the politicians with facial hair."

That reminds me, "there's a fine line between clever and stupid."

LOL
And women with facial hair are perceived of as less sexy. What’s their point?
The stronger ones.
BEARDIST!
How about rappers? Or philandering rapper wannabees? Do they have facial hair? Thanks rightistight.
“but remember the culture from which it springs.”
I have found that, generally speaking, Hispanic women and Asian women enjoy being female. ;-)
I’ve got sideburns, they are perfect, because they make you look both more sexist AND more racist. It’s a twofer.
So are women with facial hair.
But then, she’d know all about “beards”...
Aren’t the people who are “perceiving” them as sexist being, in fact, “hairist”?
OK, so I’m going to conduct a study about the perceptions of men with more back hair....
Although there may be a few bad eggs in the bearded mooselimb culture, most are dedicated feminists.
Excellent, I am sexist, just like the bible.
versus “men” who sport peach fuzz. Gee, ya think?
Just order that all males who do not show gay tendencies to have penisectomies. There is a war against traditional maleness. Lets see how America does as a fully feminized nation.
Yep! The wife says I look more and more like Uncle Si every day. That is a splendid looking group right there.
