Actually, I don't care if a gal shaves her legs or not. I had a german girlfriend years ago who didn't, and her legs still looked fine. I still think the guy who invented the short skirt deserves an award!
Do you know this woman?
No need to apologize. I do think its funny seeing the 'roided chick bodybuilders who do their darndest to look like he-man, then show up in lipstick and 4" FMPs.
No, but if I meet her, I'll pass along your name. ;0]
Women discovered that having hairy legs and hairy pits with the new fashions (like silk nylons) and sleeveless shirts.. just didn't work out right.
Ever seen the legs of a hairy woman wearing pantyhose? You think you got underarm sweat stains? Try it with hairy pits!
What precipitated the "shaving" was newer fabrics and newer fashion lines available to massive amounts of women, not just the chic and well-to-do.
(And I'll bet some idiotic feminist scholar got a huge GRANT to write this blather over the evil marketing "men".)
What's next in controversial subjects in FR after "anti-circumcision"? Shaving legs and armpit hair as some twisted type of "gender mutiliation"? Who comes up with this stuff?)
Zoinks!
I wish you better luck: I heard the same line back in my twenties. I wore nothing BUT silk stockings (finding a garter was quite a pain) as pantyhose was the "IN" thing). Didn't change the hair on my legs at all. And I wore silk hose for two years straight. I think there's a genetic and/or hormone relationship to "hair".
Heh heh. I am getting too old and matronly for short skirts, but I wore a few back in my teens. There is something to be said for a knee length skirt in a flattering cut, though. :)
I would shave whether the man in my life liked it or not...I do! :) Worked out great for your girlfriend that you didn't mind, though.
Sorry to sound like I was dumping on you -- lol. I was thinking of this blithe prattle that passed for information in the original article. Revisionist history has a way of really peeving me.
I'm not interested. Now if she has a brother, oh!, wait!, I'm married!
; )
There is something to be said for the female Navy uniform as well. ;^}
I guess I get what I deserve for making an assumption.....
It wouldn't surprise me if it were true, actually. I would love to wear silk ones, and am even willing to hunt up a garter for them, but my boys would have them ripped in a second...if not them, then my cats would. :) Regular stockings (not full on pantyhose, ewww) tend to squish your thighs in an unflattering way if you want them to stay up, in my experience. I work out, too! LOL
LOL! Except the dress whites...man, I hated those things, even WITH a skirt! I looked so dumb in it...now, IF I had stayed in long enough to make chief, or to get into an LDO program, I wouldn't have minded so much, heh heh.
That's better. There is no doubt that women are just as responsible for the "improvements" in fashion we've seen over the years. I'm not a man-hater either, I am one. ;o}
I think she looks mighty fine.
I'm glad you are not a man-hater (me neither); you is a man, I is not! :)
Yeah but don't gay men design all the latest hairstyles?? :}
