Hairy and I like it

I don't think that this is purely a feminist issue but I do think that it is- for me- because of my feminist view that drives me to do this. I do not shave my hair on my body, anywhere. Some people may say that its 'dirty' or 'disgusting', but I say fuck them! The men that think this, should look down at their own legs or under their arms and tell me, are they hairy? YES because its completely natural and women should not be socialized into thinking that they have to go through pain and time wasting to look 'attractive' for these sorry excuses for men. A common miss-conception is that hair on your armpits makes them smell more. Well I tell you now bloggers- you heard it here first- the hair actually detracts the smell from the skin and it subsequently is less smelly than if the smell follicles clung to the skin! I have also found that, especially since growing my leg hair, the hair is less dense and lighter, making for much better (less itchy) leg hair overall :) So as advice to all of you out there that haven't tried it yet- I challenge you, to a two moth challenge to not shave/hair remove/laser/epilate/wax your hair at all. You will see the difference it makes to your life. By the end you will embrace that part of you're body and your life! (and value the time you now have to spare) Nobody should expect us to change ourselves. Nobody should expect women to look a certain way. Nobody should want anyone to 'self harm' in any way for physical appearance. Unless of course a woman simply wants to shave, I do not object to people plainly preferring to shave because they want to and they think its nicer to do so. In conclusion; the 'hairy and i like it' challenge is on! Good Luck.
