R.C. Sproul, Jr. : “a beard is a revolution on the face,” a “radical affirmation” of gender norms

So this happened, merely the latest installment in the collection of “dumb patriarchalist sh*t Christian dudes say in order to rally the base and annoy those who already find them annoying.” (What? You don’t know this collection? It has a venerable history.)

Even better is the Christian Hipster Magazine RELEVANT chiming in to ASK, in a headline, HOW R.C. Sproul, Jr., feels about beards. (You need to ask? Isn’t it pretty clear that they are absolutely definitive markers of manhood?)

Sproul’s silly tweet was just crying out for a response, so I called my resident illustrator and asked him to expound visually on the conundrum surely faced by hipsters everywhere: is that some kind of revolution on your face, or do just hate shaving?
