He's offered to shave it for charity, should he? His wife and constituency say yes. But The Mustache Institute — a group dedicated to defending a man's right to sport a mustache against modern aversions — is demanding Snarr "recant" his shaving pledge and find another way to support the Children's Miracle Network.
"This could include shaving your head, your back or committing to not clipping your toenails for up to eight months," the group's leaders wrote to the mayor.
"Snarr should face down his opposition — mainly women — and keep his mustache", said Aaron Perlut of St. Louis, chairman of the Mustache Institute and a social-media consultant.
Perlut said mustaches fell out of favor in the 1970s and that his group's most recent surveys shows only 20 percent of women favor them. That's why more men are sporting tiny "chin" beards, which Perlut calls a "spousal compromise."
The group stands in defense of the singular mustache, rejecting all other styles of facial hair, even beards.
