The emasculation continues.
I’ll admit, this isn’t as bad as RompHims, but it still rubs me the wrong way.
Beard jewelry. It’s a thing. And it’s not even like “tough guy” pirate beads or anything. These are like, sparkly gem studs for beards.

If you’re a dude who has an innate desire to bedazzle your beard, sure. That’s your prerogative. I just don’t think I’ll ever be able to take you seriously.
I actually just called a beard expert on this matter. He asked for more information on the context of this movement. Is it a joke? Are they decorating their beards with ornaments for a Christmas Party contest? That would be acceptable. I then told the expert that this is actually a fashion trend. It is NOT for special occasions exclusively. He said, “In that case, they deserve to be shaved.” And possibly smacked around a little bit.
For the record, the beard expert is my dad.
Say no to the beard jewels, men. It’s shameful.
