Abstract in brief
Men with more sexist attitudes, especially hostile sexism, are more likely to grow facial hair to enhance traits like masculinity and dominance.
The study surveyed men from the USA and India, finding that those with sexist attitudes tended to have facial hair more often than clean-shaven men.
The researchers suggest that facial hair acts as a tool to boost perceived masculinity and social dominance, which may appeal more to men with sexist views.]

"After controlling for demographic variables, men with facial hair were significantly higher in hostile sexism than clean-shaven men; hostile sexism was a significant predictor of facial hair status over and above demographic variables."

@BrentScher Or, there is some research eg https://t.co/ZCZtxFA4jH
Maybe good, maybe not. But to dispute it without basis or even awareness because you ignorantly *feel* differently...that's dumbest
@g_lamarche @lisa_liberal "It is suggested that sexist men choose to grow facial hair because it maximizes sexual dimorphism and augments perceived masculinity and dominance."

What does a beard do besides messaging a man's testosterone & probably health? Well, surveying 223 American & 309 Indian men, it does indicate increased probability of "hostile sexism" https://t.co/EScExTWnlz
