Read it again. She didn't say anything about thin women in the comment about sex lives. She said women who are constantly on diets must surely be hampering their own enjoyment of life, and that she is not prepared to trade one for the other. There is a world of difference between what she said and what you…

;P funny. I think it's because they poop out mass quantities of live babies so much that they need a break. This is probably the reason women become menopausal: to stop the dicking, theyve had enough and its killing them.

I've got a news flash for the mens that they arent used to hearing, but it true for a lot of women, and as we are approaching sexual equality with you, its going to become blindingly more blatant: most of you are not attractive over 30, and less so over 40, and by 50 youre just a gross old fart. I cant even look at…

Um, a lot of women start menopause in their 40's, many of them are not grandmas.

It happens, but women who have their own resources tend to go for looks & youth the same way men do. I think it's inevitable that as women need to rely on men less & less financially, we'll see this kind of drastic age difference disappear.

But women are sexually attracted to younger men rather than older ones as well so I don't think the argument holds.

This would be assuming that men were the only ones actively seeking sex partners, and women were completely passive. I don't buy it. Nope nope nooope!

As I pointed out when this was crossposted from io9 or where ever, it's established that women shack up with old guys and pork young guys on the side. Not to mention, men's fertility and virility also decrease with age. So, frankly, it's the young guys' preference for young women that will drive evolution. Old guys…

I hope it was something we did that gave them baldness.

I think she meant disfigured, and I say that as someone who had a similar experience to you. Hayek is a short woman with a very short torso, as do I, and I have no doubt she felt at times and possibly was actually disfigured in her opinion. There is such little room for that baby to grow when you have a short torso,…

I agree - sorry if my original comment was unclear. It's dismaying to me to hear that anyone considers their more-or-less normal body going through a more-or-less normal process as "disfigured."

+10000. What a huge coincidence that women two generations ago never found pubes gross or sweaty or smelly, but then randomly a bunch of women were born who suddenly found pubes to be naturally unbearable! Of course no way is their decision influenced by changes in men's tastes — why, that's just silly. They just find…

No, I think it's none of my business what anyone else does with their body or what their reasons are. That's not what I'm saying. For the record, I shave off a good portion of mine, so I'm also not saying that it's wrong or people shouldn't do it.

I mostly agree with you. I mean, I suppose there are some people out there who shave/wax for practical reasons, but I have to say I'm mighty skeptical of the "I do it for me" reasoning most of the time. I mean, people didn't remove their pubes when there was no social pressure to do so. In other words, while I don't…

Same here. I don't shave. I trim occasionally. My pubic hair (really not into the term "bush" because it seems to be used in a derogatory sense, even by other women) is pretty normal. I did try shaving when I was around 15, because I was very familiar with porn and had the sense that it was ideal or attractive. I…

Sorry, but choice feminism is a joke, and it's more harmful to feminism than good. Women can make any choices they want, and they have absolute autonomy over their bodies and minds. But let's not pretend that choices some women and men make are not dictated by something greater than them—by the patriarchal system…

But there's a difference between saying I'm just really special and social mores don't affect me and saying, "Yeah, I know this stuff can be the result of peer pressure, and maybe that's why I started but now I prefer it" or some other similar variation. I started wearing makeup out of peer pressure. But I wear bright…

Also before you go on nonsensical rants blaming men and the porn industry you should maybe research the topic you are discussing.

So why do men trim/shave their pubes? Are men doing it to impress other men?

Well holy fuck back atcha. I'm not trying to police woman's bodies, nor make any decisions for them.
