Good rule of thumb: Anyone willing to stick their face into hairy bits of my body gets to voice an opinion about said hair.

What I don't get is these quotes from people who say that seeing women with hair on their bodies makes them want to throw up. I mean, I get personal aesthetic preference. But, really? It reminds me of adult males who presumably have had (or want to have) sex with women but get grossed out walking through the tampon…

[Criticism about your macaroni privilege.]

What's kinda fucked is that a woman who doesn't shave, for whatever reason, is looked at as some kind of repulsive creature by a society inundated with hygiene-o-phobic advertising and societal ignorance.

HOWEVER, if a woman shaves, for whatever reason (especially the hoo-hah), she is given the same kind of shaming…

Autostraddle much?

I have dark, thick body hair and I can't stand to look at it. Off it goes during any months where body parts are exposed. (Winter, less so, because I am lazy). But what really gets me is that I KNOW it's marketing and socialization and that my head has been fucked with to make me appreciate this unnatural look, and I…

Armpit hair serves a purpose, similar to the hair between male buttocks — and that is to reduce friction and thus chafing.

Second post because I finally read the whole article...

It's just interesting what's considered good hair and what's considered bad hair. Girl shaves her head? She's probably a neo-Nazi lesbian, don't date her. Woman shaves her legs/underarm/bikini? She's a beautiful and feminine species deserving of all male attention.

Ah, Scandinavian leg hair. I take an electric trimmer to my legs when I wear a dress but honestly, unless we're talking a heavy winter's coat of leg pelt, if someone is complaining about my leg hair I'm probably more concerned as to why they've gotten down on all fours in order to peer suspiciously from a foot away at…

I hope you gave it back and told her to shave the asshole off her personality with it.

Biological reason for me buzzing my pubes occasionally: if they're too long, they start pulling and hurting when I move. Other than that, I get a wax once a year (if that) if I'm going to the beach. I don't think my bf even notices when I do or don't have hair on my pubes or legs. IDGAF.

"How is babby feminist formed?"

Yes, my hope is that now we can never speak of this again.

Why are the women serving the drinks and making the dinner in feminist heaven? In my feminist heaven, I want fucking Jerry Falwell to do that shit. Just so Judith and I can say, Hush, Jerry. The grown-ups are talking now. Now make us another round of Manhattans.

Based on the picture, I thought this was going to be about macaroni art.

She sounds as jaded as I am about the birth of all my nieces and nephews after the 12th or so. "Oh, I have another niece. OOOH- look- a cat!"

(This will probably end up as a double post, but since the first reply seems to have vanished into the land of wind and ghosts, I'll give it another try...)

Two of them—wow, it's weird that I have this information off the top of my head. One was a federal case in the 60s, and one was in Ohio (okay, my home state, so I feel slightly less disturbed for remembering it) in the past ten years or so.

She's that special kind of weird looking that is so indescribable that it makes her twice as attractive. I mean nothing on that face should work and yet... well, there it is. Gorge.
