I know American women with armpit hair, I don’t retch when I see them
Which goes back to the above: “Americans are crazy. An having perfectly natural hair under her armpits would be unacceptably disgusting”

As an American woman with armpit hair, I get a lot of unsolicited comments.
It would be nice if there were more representation of adult women’s bodies in media.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

In this case? Misogyny.
People take issue when women don’t contort themselves into a socially accepted image.

I’m sorry, you shouldn’t have to put up with that

Wouldn’t want to accurately portray women’s natural bodies lest they think it might be acceptable to be unshaven.

Natural body is a polite way of framing ungroomed. Men nor women like seeing poor hygiene. Some types of poor hygiene are seen as worse than others. Dirty hair? Sorta gross. Body hair? Disgusting.

Oh, men are supposed to shave their body hair or they’re disgusting?

I mean, I’m morally consistent on this one in that I think everyone looks better smooth. Yall can be hairy if you want though.

If you want men to like your body, yes. Personally, I don’t want that.

For real? Did i understand you correct that for you it’s worse having clean hair in armpits or on legs than unwashed hair on the head?
Do you also remove ALL of your own body hair?
It is possible to not ever cut any of your hair and still be hygienic and clean!

Are men with trimmed beards gross and unhygienic?

Isn’t that for you to decide?

Natural landscape is such an hippie way of framing unpaved!
