Where does the pressure preventing me regrowing my beard come from?
a) My wife who does not like them
b) My wife who says I will look older
c) My daughter (prompted by my wife) who says she does not like them

Can anyone spot a pattern

Under this rationale of design, why would we ever cut our hair or trim our finger or toenails either?
You're right. Let's stop.
