Years ago this guy would've been killed for having too little hair on his body and having too small of a nose. But also, yes, it's good that people are slowly becoming more sensible, and not only that, I couldn't imagine living in a society where the power organ for these ridiculous beliefs would have actual power over me, as opposed to just being a societal pressure from individiual to individual. I'd probably be dead too, just because of how poorly I usually manage to pretend for other people.
