POW President Colleen Hyphenated-Lastname said, "In this day and age, it is appalling that society can tolerate the sexism of touting anything just for one gender -- except for women-only colleges, Women's Studies programs, the Women, Infants and Children program ..."
"But a product called 'Just for Men' is an unacceptable example of patriarchal, Eurocentric history. Contrary to the myths of 'his-story,' there have been plenty of women with beards. But if you look in our history books, you will see that the only people of power who have beards are dead white European males. The glaring absence of powerful women with beards is further proof of sexism. Any statistical difference at all is always due to men's sexism."
"The beard gap arose because, in patriarchal societies, it wasn't socially acceptable for women to grow beards. Men used ridicule and ostracism to oppress women who dared to grow beards. But that only reveals how threatened men felt by women with chin hair."
"But it wasn't always so. Another word for "hairy" is "hirsuit," provingthat at one time, a full beard for many women truly was "her suit."
"We are willing to work with the makers of 'Just for Men' on this issue," said Hyphenated- Lastname. "We are open to changing the name from 'Just for Men' to 'Just for Oppressors and Women.' "
