Is it really even a “white woman standard”? I’ve known many European women who don’t shave and aren’t expected to shave in their societies.

You’re probably right about the sanctimonious types.

Find some of Joan Didion’s writing about this murder. She places it in the context of a temporal and cultural nervous breakdown. Riveting. I’ve never read anyone else who can make a sunny day in Los Angeles practically scream with psychosis and sudden violence.

It’s such a New Englander’s apology at that: blunt, earthy, and forthright. No hedging, no ass-covering. He fucked up and he says he fucked up. That’s one thing I love about New Englanders: They don’t put any lace on their opinions (or confessions).
