A Hairless Society?

Hair or the lack of it in today's society.

There was a time when I thought that some of the hair on our bodies was there for a reason. Like maybe one's eyelashes and eyebrows were there to shield that portion of one's face from the elements: dust, pollutants, contaminants, etc. one gets the idea.

But the more I observe what is taking place around me, it seems to be coming more and more evident that we are moving to being somewhat of a hairless society. Take a look at all the hair removal lotions, razors, and services that are out there today. Ever heard of the Nair experience? Not to mention the many men who are fond of sporting what they call the “Michael Jordan” look?

It's almost ridiculous to the point where some persons end up insulting others if they spot some visible pieces of hair, say above a girl or young woman's top lip. Then what does the girl or young woman do the moment she finds herself alone. She might become a little obsessed with trying one of the many ways to remove that bit of hair from above her lip.

Now don't get me wrong here, it's probably better for one's body to be as hairless as possible and might make those intimate moments with one's lover/spouse/significant other more intimate, but don't we need some of that hair to remain on us for our own protection from the elements?
