FULL TITLE: Model receives rape and death threats for showing off her hairy legs in an Adidas ad - and is told she looks like a 'disgusting monkey'
A Swedish model has revealed how she's been subjected to death and rape threats after posing for an Adidas ad campaign with unshaven legs.
Arvida Bystrom, 26, a model and photographer, took to Instagram to reveal how she'd received a torrent of abuse after the campaign was released in which she reveals her hairy calves underneath a pair of pink ankle socks.
'Me being such an abled, white, cis body with its only nonconforming feature being a little leg hair,' she said. 'Literally I've been getting rape threats in my DM inbox.
'I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to not posses all these privileges and try to exist in the world. Sending love and try to remember that not everybody has the same experiences being a person.

Do you all this that this is not only "un-lady like" but they are not trying to make women more "manly"???
Your thoughts please?
Useless without pictures.
Getting death threats is unladylike?
Thank you for using the correct work “sexes,” nit genders.

She is a bit hairy, but I don’t see the big deal.
I think she is looking for attention and gets offended when it’s not the type of attention she wants.
The reaction to it is way over the top yes. However am at a loss to explain Adidas pushing this on Americans who are obsessed with waxing everything from the neck down.
I see she’s going for the Lena Dunham look. I doubt she received any real death threats. Whatever.
Probably can’t post pics from Daily Mail, but wow, not guilty. What’s a lil leg hair?
click on the link..... arm pit hair to boot.
Gross me out the door. If her legs are that hairy, I can only imagine........
It’s Sweden. She’d get (Islamic) rape threats even if she shaved her legs.
“I see she’s going for the Lena Dunham look.”
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!
Never thought of that too! Soooo why is Adidas pushing this? Adidas wants the Lena Dunham look while wearing their clothing? WHY!?
I never got this logic. People stink and get covered with feces naturally if they never shower as well. Should we not shower because its unnatural and society expects us to?
He’s pretty ugly.
We have two winners!
