Sure - and women finding their own bodies gross is so feminist. If women started wanting to get rid of pubes before men started basically demanding it, then I wouldn't give a shit. But that's not what happened, and it pisses me off that women would change something so quickly and dramatically based on men's wishes.

I think it's sad that a woman would find her own body, in it's natural state, to be gross.

I'll repeat myself here because it applies here. I really don't think that any woman would've come up with the idea of shaving their pubic hair, anymore than it did to women in the sexual revelation era in the 60s and 70s, if it were not for it becoming a "thing". This "thing" was started by the porn industry and…

I'm not trying to tell you how you should feel. You can feel any way you want. What is true though is that the idea of shaving there would not have occurred you you anymore than it did to women in the sexual revelation era in the 60s and 70s, if it were not for it becoming a "thing". A thing that was started by…

Cow pies wouldn't work for that. And it was only a few miles to the store.

Yeah - I just spent the whole day out in the heat trimming bushes (plants!) and pulling weeds. I'm going to go shower soon because I'm sweaty and dirty, but I don't notice anything in the pubic area.

I never realized that some women had that problem. And shaving that particular area around the vagina would make sense if the pubic hair is getting bloody otherwise, but most people seem to be removing all the hair, or at least trimming all the hair which is way more than would be affected by a period.

I think I could stare at men and women in bathing suits and not be able to tell who was shaved and who wasn't. Even the bushiest of bushes isn't that big.

Do you use sanitary pads? I used tampons for all the years that I got periods. (Yay for menopause) and I never noticed any problem with blood in the pubic hair.

What is really pathetic is all the women who say they get rid of the pubic hair for themselves when it is really, truly for the men.

You know - I don't know if men like women without pubes because they think it make women look prepubescent, or if men like it because they got used to seeing it in porn.

Lindy,

Because you're an idiot.

I sent an email about that bastard Lance Nagel to his employer.

They'd probably arrest you though. :(

Wouldn't put it past the flight attendants to decide a person providing a "loud, shrill play-by-play" was being disruptive, have plane diverted, and then the person arrested.

I won't belittle any woman who want to primp for work, but it is horribly sexist for anyone to expect a woman to wear make up to work, or to do more to her hair than comb it for work, or to wear any specific type of clothes to work except maybe that they should be somewhat comparable to what men are expected to work.

I just said virtually the same thing in another comment thread. I think that it is very, very, very sexist to expect women to primp for work. Sure - in jobs where you meet with customers maybe wear something nicer than Cheeto crumb covered shirts, but unless you're a model, the most anyone should expect is for…

I'm so glad I'm a software engineer - a highly paid, very senior software engineer.
