As anyone,  encourage them to tell their story, and give minimal feedback that does not discourage their desire to tell their viewpoint, story, etc.

Women don't do many jobs that men do and those male dominated  jobs can be very dangerous having long hair hanging out or they are very hot and labor intensive making long hair undesirable. That's my thought. I am sure there are 100 million other reasons people can think of.

This was a really interesting read! It’s fascinating how biology, culture, and beauty standards have all influenced hair length trends over time. The discussion about hair being linked to identity and self-expression made the topic even more engaging.

Women grow their hair long to differentiate from men, just like they grow their nails long.. Even men grow their hair long to differentiate from other men seeing how well it works for women.

Yes, women spend time and money  titivating the hair on their heads and time and money removing it from everywhere else.

Daftest of all is removing eyebrows and then painting on fake ones.

So how do you two approach the issue of body hair.

It would be interesting and fascinating to have an in depth understanding of your culture and beauty standards.


At 66 I've largely given up on hair management, though Mrs Zed insists on intervening from time to time.

Nose hairs used to be quick growing  and bothersome, but I have since grown a beard and now nose hairs just merge with the moustache.

And yes I do wash it at least once a month.

Women shave and wax remove their bodily hair so that their skin feels smooth to the touch making them more appealing.

That is an assumption...You must pay more attention when under the table.

It is not an assumption. It’s taken from a picture of you posted as a puppy.

Is that why you chose to look that way?

No, that was fate.

Fate doesn't intend to deceive...Circumstances dictate the potential and perhaps the necessity too.

Yes especially on Mars...There used to be one named Rover.

Did I mention voting?

Why don’t they use dogs to do the job?

Vote or collect Martian rock samples?

Though yes, job doing might inhibit progress and throw up all sorts of functional problems.
