I don't understand why women need to be hair-free but men can be au natural and it not be considered "gross". I hope this trend continues and women are freed! |

What did I miss? Is there a significance in the number of posts? Inquiring minds want to know....

404 Error: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_404 One of my neighbors has an email that's J****404@gmail.com. When she told me, I asked if her email couldn't be found, and she LOLed. Edited by George K, Jun 19 2015, 04:50 PM.

But, back to the subject of the thread... I saw that story elsewhere earlier today, and my reaction was similar to yours. Then, I realized that my, um, displeasure with the trend is purely cultural. I'm sure that there are other cultures that do not find that However, I don't choose to be part of those cultures. So, mow the pits ladies. Please. |

It most definitely is cultural. And as with most cultural things, Hollywood has been pretty influential the world over. |

She does have a point there. It's a somewhat sexist social norm. |

On a related note, what has become of pubic hair? As an old ballad goes...
That seems to be less and less possible these days. Big Al |

Spent 4 years in Italy back in the 80's. I was a bit repulsed at first , going to the beach and seeing all that hair. But after a while, it just seemed normal to me. I think we adjust. But the leg hair? Fuggedaboutit, Ladies, that stuff has got to go! |

The women should do as they please and you as a sexist man should have no say one way of other over it. |

That society expects females to behave according to the norm, whereas males can do what they want. |

In this case society expects a man to not shave and a woman to shave. Those are different, but they are both expectations. It doesn't follow that a difference is sexist. |

I have never seen anyone wrinkle his or her nose if a man shaves his armpits. On the other hand, if a female celebrity does not shave, this becomes headline news in the yellow press. Also, arguably the non-shaved status is the "natural" one where no action is necessary, which makes the situation less symmetric. I'm not saying that this is a blatant case of sexism, but it has a sexist note to it. |
