FeedThe Beard Is Back Because Men Want to Be Men
Written by NetBear on February 27, 2008 – 12:00 pm -A recent TIME magazine article speaks about the resurgence of the male beard. The story says that we’re seeing more males in entertainment as well as corporate America dropping their razors and allowing their follicles to grow free and long. Here’s David Letterman looking all burly.
TIME said the beard trend is an act of rebellion and that men are “trying to prove they are no corporate slave,” said Allan Peterkin, a pogonologist, or beard scholar, and author of One Thousand Beards
Another article says that men are growing their beards because physically, we can. If men are rebelling from anything by growing their beards, they are rebelling from a society that is less testosterone-driven and more accepting of effeminate expressions of masculinity and women’s equal rights. In truth, it has become somewhat confusing. Our beards are saying, “Stop the emasculation!”
We at Bearotic simply say that beards make the man… Or moustaches… Or scruff… Whatevuh the fur, just grow it, man!

Wow! I never thought I’d see any cuteness in Letterman, but the beard brings it out. All he needs now is a good haircut and he’ll getting woofed at on the street ;o)
