Hi Amos -- you've got a daughter, haven't you? Surely you get my point about the false beauty ideal the media hold up to young girls in this country -- which contributes to a litany of physical and emotional disorders, both in those girls who think to conform to the false ideal, and those who don't.

If you're familiar with the concept, it's a toxic mimic of true beauty, and should be debunked by any responsible parent.

As to body hair, I have lots, and my wife has never demanded that I remove any of it. Instead, she accepts me as I am. Why shouldn't men do the same?

Cheers,
Michael
