There's an easy way to test/disprove that women's haircuts cause massive societal damage would be to coordinate a mass hair cutting. Personally I'm more in favor of testing the "cleavage causes natural disasters" theorem with more "boobquake"s. Testing the haircut theory seems like of pointless.

How is a boobquake a natural disaster? Sounds more like a national holiday to me.

One of Islamic fundy morons in Iran stated that some earthquake was due to women in Iran dressing to scantily. Some college/grad student in the US organized what she called "boobquake" to disprove in which she encourage women to wear as risque outfits as they could on whatever given day last year to disprove that cleavage was in any way related to earthquakes once & for all. Personally I've always thought the scientific method required multiple testings.

Ah... I remember that. And yes, it needs to be validated.

And ideally peer reviewed. I feel like that's a euphemism, but I'm not sure for what exactly.

Exactly the reason my husband grew a beard.

A nice beard takes around 6 weeks to grow out long enough to be soft. Which is why I won't let my husband shave off his beard; six weeks of stubbly face is rough on me when I kiss him.

Now I have to keep on my boys to shave as I don't want them to have beards as teenagers. Once they're 18, they can go for it. Until then, Mom decrees they be clean-shaven.

Hair length? A different story altogether... Angel

Today I was rereading some old journal entries I wrote a few years ago. I was amused to find an entry where I was apparently ranting about WCBC's rules about shaving:

Quote:I don't want leaders who have been standardized and created and made by West Coast Baptist College, Christians who believe things like women always have to wear skirts and dresses to be feminine and godly, things like men should shave daily. BULLSHIT. Where does this shit come from? Who comes up with it? God? Really? How did being a Christian turn into this focus on how good and sharp and clean we're looking on the outside?

I have no idea how I found this out, as I was not exactly prone to sitting in with the men during split meetings. But apparently it was a rule at WCBC, and apparently the graduates at my fundy church continued to teach it.
