Talk:Bearded Lady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is stupid that someone would feel this article is "pretty worthless", and yet so many other stupid articles permeate this website. Yet for some inexplicable reason, this site has pissed off some nerd to the point of advocating it's censorship. What, are you a bearded lady? What a hack. I think YOU'RE pretty worthless.
The title should be changed to "Bearded Lady", as far more common term.
[edit] Middle Earth
Is it certain that Tolkein's female dwarves are bearded? I've never seen reference to female dwarves at all, and the point is mocked by the presence of bearded female dwarfs in Discworld (according to the Discworld quizbook).
- "For the Naugrim (dwarves) have beards from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike
- A similar point is made in Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings, although not as obviously. All it says there is that female dwarves cannot be distinguished from male dwarves by the other races. But we already know all male dwarves have beards, so the conclusion is obvious.

[edit] "True" Beard Growth
This article states that women who grow beards usually do not have true beard growth, but rather dark facial hair. Generally, the term beard simply refers to a style of facial hair in which a man or woman who is physically able to grow facial hair does so, and allows it to cover most of their lower face, as in a "full beard". This statement needs to be cited, reworded, or clarified. Andrea Parton 13:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm under the impression that facial hair is a beard, unless the facial hair is limited to a moustache or sideburns. Certainly a significant amount of hair on the chin and jaw area is a beard. Foday 02:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
