Showering and deodorant is a distracting straw man.

It certainly is, and the fact that people go there shows how empty the argument is.

I'm still surprised at the consensus in this thread. Hopefully it's a random blip and not the white blood cells finally figuring out where we've all been :)



I'm not ready to conclude that the argument is empty, but I do think it's interesting that instead of presenting actual arguments, people seem to be getting defensive.

To me that suggests that whatever the real reason is, people aren't comfortable with it. We won't know until someone actually gives a reason though.
