I didn’t say anything to the contrary.

You are the one that stated that men are intimidated by you. If that’s the case, you were doing something wrong.
See previous post.
No, and you should repent
lol! For what? Being a woman and upsetting a man isn’t a sin.

It’s not Clickbait. There’s videos of him sniffing. I don’t know how many women’s hair but it’s a lot. And on the campaign trail he actually stated that he let kids rub the hair on his leg. This was actually on his campaign trail. But if you don’t think that’s creepy, OK
Lol, k.

Makes just as much sense. I am surprised they have not thought of it, along with being a member of an alien race that comes here to abduct and practice checkers and race cows bareback. You may be right.

Nonhe didn't.

Telling the truth is not a slur.

What did Vance lie about?
What dis Walz lie about?
Everything is a lie to people living in a fantasy clown world.

He did not get the memo about the beard and male aggression.

Sorry, I thought you were taking about the Democrats for a minute. They are the OG election deniers.


Sorry. I don't respond to alternative facts.

One of the first bits of nonverbal communication to appear in the debate was on JD Vance’s face: his beard. As POLITICO Magazine has noted before, Vance is the first White House wannabe to wear facial hair in 80 years. Our appearance is fundamental to our body language, and research indicates that voters see beards as (surprise, surprise) more masculine. That can be positive to some, reading as strength and competence. But to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals.
I'm sure this analysis will play well to the countless men who have beards by telling them that simply having facial hair means they are aggressive toward all womenkind. :rolleyes:

Peacefully?
Petulantly. Immaturly. With top secret papers, like a "president in exile." Preventing our country from healing and coming together by perpetuating a lie repudiated in 64 court decisions.
Entering a home with legally executed warrants is no threat. A former leader with information he could sell to the highest bidder, the totalitarian leaders he so admires--now that's a threat.
Hmm...still not violent. Just admit it, you made an error. When you can't support your claim with facts you should just give up.

...wow, so much grievance in this thread over a silly observation about a beard.
Yeah, if it were merely "silly," I would agree. But it was just one more absurd attempt at villainizing a basically good person based on twisted logic. And they do this all the time. They can villainize anyone based on nonsensical reasoning, and there are men-hating bobbleheads lined up to agree and become outraged.
Now I feel I have to hide or shave my 30-year beard lest I offend people with the mental maturity of a 3-year-old.

"They" is one person "Joe Navarro" expressing his opinion.

You are right. One bizarre mind should not bother us. The crowds of bobbleheads getting cricks in their necks are dangerous. Someone is liable to shoot at his beard or start throwing bearded people out of restaurants. It happens. I feel sorry for ZZ Top and their fans.

Is there evidence of "crowds" who are agreeing with this silliness?

Seriously, people, of all the things to waste your precious indignation on......
Again, I, for one, agree. You are correct. It is a waste of time. And again, it happens all the time to many people in many ways. The lengths they will go to villainize, demonize, ostracize, and even criminalize innocent people based on political opinions is way out of proportion.
A sign of the times.

And these sorts of opinions should just be stamped out with silence, but nothing goes ignored anymore no matter how stupid.

Oh, Navarro was a "body language" "expert". No wonder it was such trite nonsense.
Haha, agreed. Body language is subjective, even my psychologist told me that. :) That is why I do not trust self-proclaimed "experts", unless it is proven.

The full quote of concern is....

That can be positive to some, reading as strength and competence. But to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals.
.

But look. He mentions SPECIFICALLY several positive impressions beards can
leave on people. And then negative ones.

So why are men are so sensitive to criticism they just couldn't stomach ANY critique? Like "how dare someone say something negative...about a beard." Geez.


Good things were said too

Let's see, here is what he said that is at issue.

That can be positive to some, reading as strength and competence. But to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals.

He's claiming women see men with beards as aggressive and opposition to feminist ideals. He's painting g a picture about men with beards. There's no real indignation here. It's all about pointing out stupidity. The left wing press makes.so many idiotic statements. Can you imagine if some conservative said about short haired women

"It can be negative conveying the woman is a radical feminist who hates men and is aggressive to conservative males."

You guys would all be sharing your incredulity over such a wild statement.

I do find it interesting though that someone would even write such superficial drivel.
