Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits

  Or maybe she, the actress, prefers it, and she, the actress, didn’t want to change something superficial for the show.

    I still believe there should be more representation in media of women with body hair.

    We should normalize picking what’s best for yourself and not trying to portray a certain way that women are “supposed” to look.

    Funnily enough, I personally prefer body hair because it’s softer than stubble. But that’s my personal preference and not one I tell others that they should do just to please me. (not saying you are doing this, just putting thoughts to words).

      Fiona Dourif did a fantastic job portraying Bart in this show. If being clean shaven is how they wanted to appear on screen, I think their right to do so supersedes any obligation they have to ‘normalize’ anything for anyone else. It certainly did not harm the performance.

        I’m not criticizing their performance or their individual choices.

        I’m criticizing how the media wants to portray women as completely hairless all of the time.

  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.

    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.

        My husband loves my hairy body. 🤷‍♂️ Finding hair disgusting and unsanitary isn’t a natural state for men, it’s something you’ve been taught. Clean hair isn’t unhygienic.

        It’s a great way to filter out men who don’t deserve access to my body.

        My sex life never diminished when I stopped shaving.

        If you want men to like your body, yes

        Can I assume you also believe that women only want hairy men then? Because I’m pretty certain you’re going to get pushback on that too.

    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?

    • Gaslov@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Isn’t that for you to decide?

      source

      • velma@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I didn’t make the assertion that body hair is unhygienic.

        It’s so annoying when people edit their comments after they get replies.

    Natural landscape is such an hippie way of framing unpaved!
