Having said that, though... maybe there's not quite enough exaggeration. Sigh.

That is just an awful thought; it's bad enough for a man to have long straggly nose hair but for a woman (and many women have nose hair too) it would be both disfiguring and embarrassing. Furthermore, what is a woman with facial hair to do? Upper lip hair - do you suggest she allows herself to grow a moustache? Hair on her chin - grow a beard? Hair on the sides of her face - grow sideburns? Sorry, but any religion that says that it's wrong to remove hair that is seen as ugly and totally unnecessary would have to be very weird indeed. And I don't think Jesus himself would condemn any woman to a life as the bearded lady. You need to think a little bit more of what you're saying, rather than making sweeping statements that come across as totally absurd. IMO, of course!
