CAN A GIRL WITH ARMPIT HAIR BE ATTRACTIVE? 

Inevitably last tuesday when i went to the pool with my friend sarah who also has hairy pits, we cleared the hot tub in no less than 3 seconds—TWO SEPARATE TIMES all because because we put our arms up, revealing a patch of unkempt unshaven hair beneath our arms. it has literally become a social experiment to us—how long does it take for people to become SO uncomfortable by our hair that they leave. It usually starts with them gawking, then trying to “subtly” nudge their friends, then nervous giggling then just leaving. Other ladies get incredibly touchy in the face of awesome empowered sensual hairy ladies. I am by no means passing judgement on women who decide to shave, i am however, drawing attention to the fact that women (and men) become almost fearful of a woman who does not succumb to certain beauty standards. I think that its because they’ve never thought of not shaving. I know i certainly didn’t think about my “choice” (what IS choice judith?) (<—-judith butler reference…i AM a nerd) to start shaving when i was about 12 (ugh, nightmares). It’s just interesting to see how offended people get by something so natural. (yeah yeah i know, what else is new) 

also i got a cute strapless dress, fuck the world, hail satan?

One of these days, I will follow her hairy ~experiment~ :D One of these days…

A male friend and I had a fight because he kept saying how women with armpit hair are gross and ugly. I asked why he thinks this way and if it might have to do with the ridiculous modern beauty standards that want to see all women hairless except the hair on their head ofcourse, because some people seem to think that short hair on girls still equals losing your femininity and being a butch lesbian. His reply was that armpit hair is just gross. When I asked him if it’s okay for guys to have hair he looked at me like I just had grown a second head and replied: “Of course.” UM BITCH PLSS? 

Why can’t women do whatever they want with their body and why do people feel the need to critise people who don’t follow the standard beauty standards? Why do people even care whenever or not this woman decided to not shave her armpit hair. It’s her body, not yours. If you want to shave that’s fine, if you don’t then that’s fine too. Why don’t people get this?
