Okay, so why do people have hair?
Why do people shave their hair?

After shaving, doesn't that prove the hair wasn't necessary in the first place?

So why was hair invented?

1. Hair is a form of protection from bacteria!
Although, I don't know that that is the case on the head. But nose hairs, and other, ahem, hairs protect us from bacteria!

12. Actually, those "other" hairs...
are supposedly more to protect you from friction (and to trap pheromones, which are secreted by the sweat glands in that part of the body)

14. Gee, when God made us God made damn sure to damn that evil friction!
And maybe that's where the "hairy palms" myth got started too...

3. I'm not sure, but my ancestors seemed to think it was a good idea..
and apparently selectively bred for it.

9. Reduces friction
Then we evolved to where we had magazines and other forms of porn.

I need to mention that I shave but I am nevertheless a feminist.

I'll be quiet now.
