modern man
Chris Warde-Jones for The New York TimesStating the oh-so obvious, the New York Times, famous for "all the news that's fit to print," recently declared what all of us have known for quite some time: The modern man has a beard.
The Times was reporting on the big international men’s trade show Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy, where most of the male fashion models sported beards. According to the report, there has been a "generational shift from the smooth cheeks that defined Western masculinity for at least 100 years."
Duh.
