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

  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.

        I started this thread talking about body hair differences you’re the one who tried to change the subject. Be the change you want to see in the world.

  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.

        Some thoughts are better left inside your head.

    Only women? Not men?

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

        It’s not like it’s a beard, though, it’s normal on all adults. I personally don’t like it on anybody, appreciate grooming but saying it’s only disgusting on women is so strange. The worst for me is guy pit hair with deodorant stuck to it, I never see that on women.
