I see nothing wrong here.
I just attended the best passion of the Christ play. As they were “nailing” Jesus to the cross the entire thing broke. No one knew what to do and it got quiet. Finally one of the guards on stage said “You get out of it this time Jesus”
you see this?
it’s called a razor
if you’re a girl, USE IT
your hairy legs and armpits aren’t cute okay
you’re not helping out for woman’s rights or anything
YOU’RE JUST MAKING YOURSELF LOOK NASTY
Or!
Women have been socialized to believe that they must remove hair for a number of reasons, primarily the following:
- hair is historically and Biblically associated with power; we as a patriarchal culture are obsessed with keeping hair on men (facial hair, Hair Club for Men, hair plugs, whatever) and keeping it off women. You say hair on women is nasty; why is it only hair on women? Women and men have the same pubic hair. We all grow it out of our follicles for the same reason. Why is it only gross on women?
- women’s bodies have been considered the property of men since the dawn of time, and therefore we have been held to a standard of beauty and attractiveness that is not determined by us but is instead determined by something called the male gaze, which is erases all sexualities and genders other than cisgender heterosexual men and assumes that women are performing for it.
- childlike women are considered less “threatening” and more “feminine” because they are naive, quiet, and rely on ~*adult men*~ to take care of them.
AND ALSO:
- there is a fallacy about pubic hair that it is dirty. It is not dirty. In fact, it’s there to keep your genitals cleaner. Pubic hair and armpit hair are also there to spread your pheromones around and make it easier for you to attract a mate.
- all mammals have hair. We’re mammals.
AND FINALLY:
- No one else’s body is your business. Ever. You want to shave? Go ahead! That’s totally your prerogative and if you’re more comfortable shaving, feel free. But given that pubic hair isn’t innately dirty, there’s no reason for anyone to remove it if they don’t want to.
You’re not sending out some edgy, hardcore message here. You’re just reinforcing what our culture wants you to reinforce. Before you pick up that razor again, think about why you want to shave. Is it just because our culture told you to? Why’d they tell you to? What’s the point?
Do what makes you comfortable and what makes you happy, and let others do the same.
OJ MYU GOD I FUCKING HATE THE PERSON WHO REPLIED TO THIS SO MUCH ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT GIRLS TO WALK AROUMND LOOKING LIKE THEIR MOM HAD SEX WITH A MAMMOTH AND THEN GAVE BIRTH TO YOU NO I DONT THINK YOUD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH BECAUSE ITS FUCKING NASTY GIRLS NEED TO FUCKING SHAVE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT RO NOT SOCIETY ISNT CHANGIONG ANY TIME SOON JUST BECAUSE YOU POSTED SOMETHI NG ON THE INTERNET YOURE ALL FUCKING RETARDED
This is the post that keeps on giving.
Hey, bro? Khaleesi was simply stating that the notion of women being the only ones who need to shave is ridiculous-which it is, and she reinforced it with facts. She’s not telling ANYONE to abstain from shaving. Hell, she says that you should do what makes YOU comfortable, and you personally. Unlike OP, who apparently feels like she possesses the authority to tell people what to do with their bodies. Don’t like having hairy legs? Shave, wax, do whatever the fuck you want with them. But let women who don’t want to do it have the freedom of keeping their bodies au natural without feeling like they’re disgusting or anything of the sort.
Also, nice touch with the “retarded” bit. Ableist slurs always add credibility to your argument.
