Once the beard of the man is lost, and he thereby signals to be a good boy, not a threat, not a free man, but a child, a toy, the beard is then commonly replaced by a tie.

The tie replaces the beard.
In a way the tie is a fake beard.

But it is interesting nonetheless.
In its symbolism, if nothing else.

You can grab beards. That is what makes them costly. They give you a weakness that can be exploited.
