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

  If it was common place to see unshaved women then my comment wouldn’t have made any damn sense. My comment is only relevant because there are people who don’t shave and yet still look like they do.

    The most likely reason the actress was portrayed as unshaven was because women are overwhelmingly presented as hairless in media. Not because some people have naturally light hair.

      OK, nothing I have said is against that point. So your point is fuck me for adding to the conversation or what?

        I already explained why I replied to your comment - the reason this actress is portrayed as hairless is because we live in a patriarchal society that has strict gender expressions for women and that includes being hairless.

        I wish that the conversation could be around the differences in people’s bodies instead of the media presenting a very specific image of how women are supposed to present.

    Anyway I just had a tangential thought: my opinion of women showing off their armpit hair is identical to how I would feel about anyone who never wipes their ass after they shit. Both equally vomit-inducing. Just my opinion.

      Armpit hair isn’t the equivalent of literal shit.

        Need I repeat, IN MY OPINION, both armpit hair & shitty butt cracks are equally hygienically disgusting.

      Only women? Not men?

        Body hair is normal on men. But if they want to remove it, that’s fine too.
