100% agree. I mean seriously, what a royal waste of time to maintain the plucked chicken look every day. They need to find something productive to do instead.

Not all men care, my husband honestly does not care if or when I shave. He is actually disgusted by the hairless/Brazilian pubic thing, he said it feels creepy and like he is looking at a little girl. It's true that he's from Europe and men are much less brainwashed about body hair there (one of many reasons why I…

Any time! Now get off the computer & go shave your arms, you look grotty.

Yeah everyone is different blah blah blah, but the point is you feel "grotty" because you've been socialized to believe that women need to shave and be hairless. There is nothing grotty about having hair on your body. Dudes don't feel grotty with hair on their legs, why should you?

I don't feel grotty at all when I don't shave, I feel normal and pretty natural.

I never thought I'd swoon over an 89 yr old man, but his comments are just so true and wonderful.

I also agree that most people in the world are insufferable, men and women. But then again, I'm somewhat of a misanthropic introvert (bordering on following my desire to become a recluse to escape the idiocy of the world, or at least American culture), so no surprise that I agree.

You are somewhat right, but I've witnessed this far more often in men than women. Women have their own flaws, don't get me wrong, but this is so much more pronounced in men. And I actually think women are partly to blame by enabling it and not speaking up when it happens.

Talk about drama, you're making it, dude - did I ever say anyone is trying to destroy me? My observations on boys and men teaching stupid ol' me and other girls how to do "stuff" goes back to grade school. Face it, many men just have a know-it-all, paternal attitude with women. They are just smarter, more logical,…

I had a day yesterday that speaks to this so perfectly. First I had to listen to my male coworker - who never shuts up - try to teach me about my own job, then I had to listen to a male faculty member "teach" me (I'm a univ. librarian) about research in his area (already knew 99% of it, but he acted like I was just…

And this is when women need to say "ENOUGH." Is there any attempt by Brazilian women to unite and protest?

I understand, it doesn't feel good to be hated. I am 1/2 German for example and it is awful to hear people say that all Germans are unfeeling, potential Nazis, or to have all of your ancestors painted as evil genocidal maniacs. So I agree that we can hate the actions of a group and even be frustrated with the…

Radical feminism doesn't undermine anything, except makes some men uncomfortable. And it has become a punchline as a way for men to trivialize real inequality and ridicule the trials & hardship of many women. So instead of bowing down and agreeing that radical feminists are just rabid animals, GOOD men should be…

I have heard quite a few angry black activists say they hate white people as a group and I don't blame them. I'd say it's a fairly healthy and rational response to hate a group by which you feel oppressed or persecuted.

Why yes, I was just celebrating how great I am based on this recent put-down. (Did you get that line from your 4th grade guidance counselor?)

"I didn't know the thing about Belgium, but am skeptical." Oh boy, you're a little dim, aren't you.

Startingoverandover, I have been trolled or had whiney "nice" guys tail and harass me on so many occasions both online & in person, I totally understand wanting to end this. Just ignore them, not worth engaging. They eventually go away. Most of them are just excited that a female organism is actually interacting…

Totally agree!!! Lactation consultants (nuts) truly ruined my newborn experience with my daughter, they bullied, scolded, belittled and shamed me. I brought my dehydrated newborn to our pediatrician on day 5 sobbing and desperate and she almost sent us to the ER. I will never forgive the rabid pro-breast feeding…

I see headlines like this and think, "I love you, Jezebel." I am so tired of the pro-breast feeding Nazis and their formula shaming. A lactation "consultant" put me through hell after my 1st daughter was born and I will never forgive this movement. Totally ruined my first newborn experience. Maybe they help some…

Because some (many maybe) women grab a few perks and advantages in life from aligning themselves with rich or powerful men. And social conditioning starts very early...girls are taught that we cannot survive without men and are weird and freakish if we imagine or attempt to build a life with no hetero marriage,…
