Unsightly Hair
Tagged as: Nov 06We’ve all seen people that have more hair than others. There are some that also have hair where others might not have it.
Unfortunately, these follicles are not really something that we get to choose. Whether we like it or not, we have genes that entirely dictate such things as the color of our hair, our height, and where hair grows on our body. We can try to change these things through dye, clothing, and hair removal (or implantation). But in reality we are who we are made to be.
It’s sad that we judge people based on things that they cannot change. (This is in no way a political statement about homosexuality, even though it’s becoming apparent to me that it can be interpreted as such. Or maybe it’s just been on the mind with Proposition 8 in California. Anyways, see this for some truth about the “gay gene” research done by Dr. Dean Hamer. But I digress.)
So people can’t control things like where their hair grows. How do we in society get so disgusted by it? I admit that I can/do as well. But it’s strange how we can make demeaning statements about things that are not determined by these people at all!
Sometimes society stinks. And for sure mobs of people are no good.
that’s a great thought, derekson. thanks so much for sharing. we do tend to judge people based off of things they have no control of whatsoever. that’s so sad
i like that research article, too!
I totally wouldn’t have gone to proposition 8 from unsightly hair follicles. Nice train of thought though – very interesting!
Hi,Derek!en,that’s a good thought.I like this sentence very much:people can’t control things like where their hair grows.I will often come your blog because it is also good for my study.After all,I am a English major student.Be successful in your work.
There are so many physical aspects we get judged on. Didn’t you write about height at one time? A nice benefit to being Asian is the (usually) lack of body hair. While this may make Asian men feel a bit out of it by American standards (although the trend seems to be for men to wax…all over) I’m fine with not having to worry about this leg shaving thing. I actually had no clue why women even shaved their legs – none of the women in my family did. Duh.
We do get judged though. I’ve seen women with a bit of a mustache.
I agree with the comments that are stated above.People won’t take care about the growth of the hair as this is the fashion these days..But i hope its not good to have like this…
