Hey , wear what you want this is a free country, but this modern attitude of "anyone who doesn't aggressively support cause XYZ is a terrible person" is getting a bit tired.

I have been amused by the advent of the beard as modern masculine symbol when it generally is worn by a guy who would get a panic attack at a horror movie.


I didn't realize I'd been conned. I thought I supported breast cancer awareness because my mother died from the disease at 58 years old. Next time I'm at her grave and talking to her, I'll remember to admonish her for conning me.
