Ladies, put your razors away: Women should embrace body hair

A movement?

I shave my legs. I trim my bikini line when I feel like it. And my armpit hair grows in a luxuriant way, unfettered and unclipped.

I've had it for 12 years, that armpit hair. I've enjoyed it every step of the way. Sometimes I dye it different colours. It's soft and fluffy, wavy and friendly. It makes me look balanced when I gaze in the mirror, naked. My lover likes it too.

THAT is disgusting !!!!!!!!

Now you know why the Taliban made them walk around in full body slipcovers.

[Gabz]

now do you honestly expect me to admit to that on a public forum? ; )

Would you really like an answer??? ;-)

[twigs]

RUSH would have a blast with this.

So would my husband. He agrees that women should never shave and laments that I do. Also hates for me to shower in the evening when it's been hot. I love him, but I think he's crazy. So did his first wife and so does his son. He thinks it's the natural thing to do--enhances pheramones (sp?). Sigh. We have finally convinced him--I think--that the type of woman he really wants will not do this.

Well, a non-latex natural one anyway...

"100 bucks says this gal is an organic, tree-hugging, penis-loathing, militant, lesbian feminist."

With a dildo that doesn't care whether she bathes, shaves or wears perfume.

Couldn't women better spend that time enhancing who they are instead of taking away from it?

If it were just women, she might have a case. But how does she explain male body builders shaving their entire bodies? And how many women (and men) look at a guy with a back full of hair and say, "Gross!"?

Oh my lawd, I'm quite the tensis....

[wimpycat]

So he wants you to smell "like a woman",huh? Bleccch!

Does he insist on smelling "like a man"?

This broad would fit right in up there in Ithaca. Plus her fur would provide a nice isulating layer for the cold winters.

I had to go back to the top to make sure this wasn't from The Onion.

[homeschool mama]

Got that right.

[Chess]

Men, I think you should embrace shaving. You would be much more pleasing to the eye and wouldn't feel so gross.

I will not give up shaving, but I will ask you men to start shaving. Especially those gross hairy backs, chests, and legs.

Give me a smooth man any day

You mean she uses one of Arafat rag-heads

[small voice in the wilderness]

How are we supposed to have a meaningful dialoque with the Afghanis with this kind of pro-burqa propoganda being posted?!? I suspect this sudden embracing of feminine body hair has is roots in janet reno's campaign. Own your mustache, janet, don't let anyone tell you it's not handsome.

[Rainmist]

Never in a million years would I ever stop shaving. And why is it that women who don't shave are always wearing shorts and/or lifting their arms above their heads ? Paula Cole is always doing this. It turned me off of her as an " artist " from the get go. How nasty !!!! EWWWWWWWW !!

Enjoy your evenings alone "sweetie".

The most repulsive entity on the planet is a woman who refuses to be a woman (and visa-versa!)
