I question the validity and value of your poetry in modern society. I feel that the cause you are “fighting for” or at a minimum trying to be creative about lacks any sort of contribution to either academics or science. As a mustachioed man, I take offense to your quibling humour towards my life choice.

[...] Madeleine Begun Kane is feeling the pain of Mustachioed Men — Downtrodden Minority Group? Or perhaps it’s just that they’re scratching her face? [...]

I am unashamedly anti-mustache. ;-)

I loved this!

We are indeed for real and appreciate your careful examination of the real issues facing those of us - men and women - with mustaches who have faced severe discrimination over the past quarter century.

Never forget - a mustache is a terrible thing to waste!

I guess you’re right, PoliShifter, though I never think of mustaches as negative. In fact, my husband has a very cute one. :}

There is something to it. Villians have been clad with mustaches forever just as the good cowboy wears a white hat and the bad cowboy wears a black hat. The man with the mustache ties the woman to the railroad tracks in the old silent films. Cartoons often depict villans with mustaches.

Alot of sale organizations (especially MLM) will encourge a “clean shaven look” due to the images mustache clad men apparently conjure up such as the used car saleman.
