No.
Don't be ridiculous. I just couldn't get a decent picture this morning, so I covered up most of the problem area (ie: my face). I tell you, the itchiness returned yesterday, and with a fury and ferocity matched only by a hundred thousand 4channers watching kitten abuse videos. My face was raw. Well, actually, that's a lie, it wasn't. But my beard was really itchy.
So, besides itchy beard (check out this segue) let's talk about abused women. All over the globe (yes, even here) folks of the female kind are seen about as equal as dogs, sometime less so. We feel so progressive here because we look down on domestic abuse and we let women vote. But seriously, A human history of somewhere around 100,000 years, and we are just now celebrating that? And that's the light end of it. In other places, women are routinely tortured, maimed, raped, and killed for things as punishment-worthy as being tortured, maimed or raped. Imagine (or if you choose not too, understand why) your wife, mother, sister, or friends dragged out into the streets, stripped, raped and tortured in front of a cheering crowd, because she spoke back to a man. Go ahead, I'll let you take a minute.
This sort of behaviour has been going on since the dawn of time, and (far from it being some new idea) a lot of us believe it to be quite long enough. One of the many groups involved in changing this barbarism is, you guessed it, Amnesty International.
Personally, I love women. If you do too, then please take some time or drop a dime in the proverbial bucket to help a few out.
Thanks internet.
