An oldie but a goodie. First video is unavailable, but I watched the second one. Apparently, women started shaving their legs back in the 1920s in response to a ad campaign by shaving companies that wanted to sell more razors. The ad campaign made women uncomfortable with their body hair, according to Mikenas.

NB, Asian women do not have body hair on their extremities or face. If you catch them in a candid mood, they will sometimes confide that they feel more genetically advanced than non-Asians because of that.

Her armpits look like she has Colin Kaepernick in a headlock.

“The purpose of this video is not to shame people who do shave,”

LOL! She ended up shaming people who DON'T shave...

A lot of girls do not need to shave anything.

I dated a little cutie who didn’t shave and I never even noticed until she told me. Her hair was light brown and very silky fine.

My late wife was a natural blonde and did shave but frankly she didn’t need to.

I know a rather attractive woman who hasn’t shaved for decades due to religious views. I hope I never see her nekkid.

Ummmmm, maybe women started shaving because hemlines rose above the ankle not because of advertising?

this article is a prime competitor for the Most Useless and Uninteresting Diversion From Reporting Any Real News ..award. if the media is so determined not to do its job informing the American public....the very least they could do is publish some interesting* sex stories instead of this drivel

Leftist gals (my buddy calls them “poos”) have been going “natural” (shaveless) for decades.

It makes the ugly ones uglier and the pretty ones ugly. This of course is just what feminists want because it makes them less ugly in contrast, and that is very important to them because most of them are UGLY.

Generally “embrace your natural body hair” tends to go hand-in-paw with “embrace your natural body odours” and “beautiful at ANY size!”

I’ve never been a big fan of hairy legs on a woman, but I will say this: People in today’s society expect women to be practically hairless in regard to body hair and that’s just weird.

A year or two ago a picture of Gal Gadot in her Wonder Woman get up came out online. Feminists complained because it was too sexy. They complained again when a teaser trailer showed she had shaved under her arms - which no Amazon warrior would have done (as if that mattered).

What struck me, however, was an online comparison of all the actresses who had played Wonder Woman on TV or in movies. There was a pictures of Lynda Carter - who I have always thought was gorgeous - and I was immediately struck by the fact that you could plainly see she had fine but dark hair on her forearms. Many other people visiting the site had noticed the same thing! We’ve become so against normal body hair on a woman that it struck us to see an actress from the 1970s with perfectly normal body hair on her arms. Hollywood has messed us up as a people.

These idiots want to force everyone to call ugliness beauty.

She can stop bathing, stop dressing in anything but a snuggie and stop exercising too.

See where that gets her. She can feel quite comfy and justified while alone and ridiculed.

There is a reason I don’t allow donkeys in the house.

Wish my daughters had embrace that philosophy. They would go through my razors fast. I had to lock up replacement blades and leave cheap ones out.
