yoreel@lemmy.zip 3 days agoAntiperspirant is the awful stuff. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that the aluminum blocks the sweat, so it can’t get out like normal, so if you forget to put it on after using it for even a short time, you smell way worse than you would otherwise. What I find a shame is that we’ve been marketed and convinced that humans should not smell like humans. Yet, here we are, body shaming people because of something natural.

Agreed that it’s a shame that normal (read: not excessive) body odor is seen as the worst thing in the world ever. Hormonal BO, like the stuff mentioned in the OP, should probably be addressed, but yeah for the most part I sympathize.
Disagree that antiperspirant is worse than stick deodorant though. Elaborated on that in another reply
