Should female dwarves have beards?

Aw, man. I have voted "No", but after a bit of research i could go with: maybe.
(Looked up if there are any mammals, especially apes who have natural, normal, female beards. And turns out: Yeah, Apparently female mammalian beards are a thing, i went through life thinking that was always just an hormonal imbalance or something, but some species have "female facial hair") Now i feel so stupid. Dammit.
Back to Dwarves: I am an avid roleplayer, but i mostly hate (playing) small human-like races (Dwarves are usually on the edge of "small" though) - So i avoid thinking about them and there damn beards. Same about hobbits/halflings/gnomes and such. Ewwwww.....

You must really hate it when people mention Kender or Gully Dwarves.
Though, I think everyone hates it when people mention Kender or Gully Dwarves.

KENDER! GULLY DWARVES!
I think it should be left to the individual dwarf to make the choice on their facial hair.
This is the easiest way to settle this very old argument. Culture creep. Dwarven females do have beards, but after interaction with other races began to shave... or not depending on their whim and their own beauty preferences.
Besides, body hair on humans only really loosely follows specific gender guidelines anyway. Men in my family have a tendency towards very little and slow growing hair. My brothers both wear short beards and moustaches, mostly because it takes years for us to grow them. I literally can't. There are patches on my cheeks and most of the front of my chin where hair doesn't grow at all. And where it does grow, its blonde enough to be all but invisible anyway. I only have to shave once a month or so, and only start to look a little scraggly in the last couple of days of that. And I know women who grow hair, even sideburn and facial hair, quicker and more substantially than I do. You'd never know it, society dictates that women be more or less body and facial hairless. And so they are pretty vigilant to remove it as quickly as possible as a part of their daily routine.
When I was in college, there were 2 transfer student (div 2) women's basketball players from Lithuania on my school's team. Neither of them shaved their armpit hair, it wasn't much of a thing in their home country at the time. When asked about it, both laughed saying that they found out it gave them a competitive advantage. It tended to distract American players on the opponent's team, and their teammates just kind of got used to it and could take advantage. Its long been my contention that if there wasn't a societal bias against female body and facial hair, like finding a Sliders style parallel universe where it isn't a thing, we'd probably be pretty surprised how hairy human women actually are. I do know at least one woman who could easily grow a moustache quicker than I could, but she is very vigilant in shaving it away every day. She is very pale skinned with very dark hair, any amount would stand out so she is really paranoid about it.
As a fan of Pratchett, went with full beards. Give em thick, luxurious beards (should they want to grow one out, obviously)
How do you fence sit, straddle it or side-saddle?
Personally, side-saddle for me, unless the fence is thick enough, then maybe straddle sit
OK, now that's the real question right there:
How do you fence sit, straddle it or side-saddle?
Personally, side-saddle for me, unless the fence is thick enough, then maybe straddle sit
I'd go for side-saddle with my hands partially underneath my butt for stability and to lessen the sting of anything protruding.
Obviously straddle. Can't have anybody accidentally thinking that you're actually leaning to one side.
OKay, so with this thread and your big tiddy cow thread, are you absolutely certain this isn't a fetish thing?
Somebody needs to ask the difficult questions. That your mind goes straight into the gutter says more about you than me.
Alright, but going on the internet, asking "would you drink milk from anthro-furry-dream-cows, yes from their boobies" and then clutching pearls when the internet does what it does is a bit like kicking a beehive and wondering what the bees get all excited for.
Show me where the OP said that you were drinking it straight from their boob. That was something that you brought to the thread. My assumption that all infrastructure remains with the only difference being that cows are anthropomorphic. You'd still buy it from the store in a carton. Maybe I should have made that clear in the OP, but I didn't think it was necessary since you don't suckle on a cow's udder, after all.
Now now, I didn't say anything about drinking the milk straight from the nipple, but the cow you posted clearly had boobs, so in your theoretical world, industrial milk production would be dependent on having cow-boobs hooked up to giant milking machines. I think you could Google fan art of the process....
