Beard of the Year: Rylan Clark-Neal

The Beard Liberation Front as expressed concern as the Guardian has once again drawn attention to an entirely made-up story about men’s beards being dirtier than dog hairs.

The story was linked to in a piece partly inspired by right-wing Australian ‘researchers’ (University of Queensland)who regularly publish articles claiming women like men with beards, or, alternatively women dont like men with beards. Same sex relationships never feature.

The beards and dog hairs was first printed in the Guardian in April 2019 and debunked by the BLF and others here:

Beards, dogs, dirt: the long reach of fake news

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, its concerning that the Guardian should repeat a made up story about beards. As for the Australian researchers they no doubt will continue. Others may think that one of the key reasons why many have beards is not to attract anyone but simply so they dont have to shave first thing in the morning
