Why does human hair esp. the adult hairs in women cause double standards in otherwise rational persons?

Question

Vegetation- trees,greenpastures, shrubs etc. take water and elemental nutrition from earth and prepare food and medicinal agents for the living by photosynthesis of sunlight. Animals have and are not averse to fur on their bodies.Only humans who are conscious of time and have a logically rational and transformative mind react indifferently to adult hairs that grow after puberty epitomized by ads.of beauty clinics of a phenomenon that nature, out of some necessity, bestowed in keeping with timely nature. Without fully and scientifically exploring all the aspects are we with a false sense of greedy aesthetics mutilating something that nature created out of necessity?

Answer 1

With the advent of clothing and shelter, much body hair that humans have is no longer necessary. We had body hair to keep us warm in the winter months in prehistoric times. We grew pubic hair to keep elements from causing infections and allowing parisites to harm us. Same for nose and ear hair. We dont sleep outdoors anylonger and there fore, dont have to worry about things crawling in our ears and noses.

Lets not forget that our appendix is no longer used by our bodies as we no longer have a diet of raw meats.

Saying that humans are mutilating something nature created out of necessity is like saying cuting your lawn is mutilating nature because we have a false sense of astethics. Or that controlled burning brush to prevent wild fires is due to greed as well as removing dead and dried vegitation from around homes. Most animals still have their hair because they still live outdoors.

But if my chicken decides she wants to pull out her feathers, more power to her. I dont consider it mutilation if i want to shave my pits or my boyfriend to pluck his nose hairs.

Answer 2

If we still lived in Caves, the hair would be a comfort in some way. Now we are shoulder to shoulder, wearing stylish clothes, and not peeing behind trees.
We are probably over perfuming, and stripping our skin of natural oils . However, the smell of rancid body oil is really a big bad turn off to me. I think clean sweat is fine, but not days old. Pew

Changing the hair and styles is fun, and provocative. Enjoy, don't over think. Rip Van Winkle....what a dream boat...not....

My goodness, we are on our soapbox tonight, aren't we.
