I disagree with Societal pressures to shave body hair (especially for women). I'm not a radical feminist and don't spout on about it,but I have,in the past,played a role in the surprisingly large community of men and women that oppose the practice.
~~Here is a quote from an article that I find interesting:
"Hair removal, at its core, is a form of gendered social control. It's not a coincidence that the pressure for women to modify their body hair has risen in tandem with their liberties, Herzig argues. She writes that the effect of this hairlessness norm is to "produce feelings of inadequacy and vulnerability, the sense that women's bodies are problematic the way they naturally are."
And yet, if you ask many women why they voluntarily shave or wax, they might say that it's a method of self-enhancement. That they want to, it's a personal choice, and they just feel better when everything is smooth. Hair removal as self-care might be one of the biggest lies women have bought into. It keeps us in an impossible loop, one in which we are constantly in pursuit of velvety limbs and the moral virtue of cleanliness."
