The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has slammed the latest piece of research by Australian researchers about the attractiveness or otherwise of beards to women.

The BLF says that similar pieces of heterosexist obsessed research appear frequently claiming to prove that beards are attractive to women, or, sometimes, that they are not.

A pogonophobic media invariably laps up such stories.

The campaigners say that the reality is rather more mundane. While some people wear beards to attract someone of the opposite or the same sex, or for reasons of fashion, many have a beard simply so they dont have to shave first thing in the morning.
