  PNW is where the Proud Boys originated, too.

  Idaho: you’re allowed to kill your children through medical neglect, but don’t you dare make any children feel welcome at school.

  I might be guessing incorrectly, but it feels like users here don’t post personal pictures as much (for a variety of good reasons). So this kind of recognition isn’t as common.

  Some of the local communities are more bustling than others though!

  Try hitting one of those at 25mph.

  Then you’re back to ignoring how media presents women as if this conversation about personal choice and patriarchy have no bearing here which is false.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a produced television show. Nothing the actress is wearing is her choice in the show.

  I will fight tooth and nail for anyone to choose how they present their body. I don’t care if people shave or don’t shave.

  I do care about how the media presents women and the affect it has on how society expects women to look and behave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t criticize their individual choice.

  I am criticizing the media for only showing women as hairless.

  Do I need to explain this again in different words for you to understand I’m not attacking the actresses’ personal choice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Women being hairless is a manufactured media campaign. We are born with hair, we grow hair, hair on women is natural. The prevalence of showing women as hairless below our eyebrows is a deliberate choice and it is not simply down to individual preferences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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).

  Thanks for accepting it and I hope you have a good day, too!

  You can go back to reddit if you don’t want your bad takes challenged.

  Some thoughts are better left inside your head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I took your initial comment as defending the show’s choice to continue to push the narrative that it’s normal for all women to be hairless.

  Considering another commenter came in to say that armpit hair is the same as ass hair caked in literal shit, yeah, I’m being a little defensive.

  I’m sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because this actress was still portrayed as hairless despite the circumstances the show set up.

  Show me where it’s normalized to show women with body hair in media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Be the change you want to see in the world.

  I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Armpit hair isn’t the equivalent of literal shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s rich coming from you ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The discussion isn’t around the differences in people’s body hair. It’s about media’s representation of women’s bodies.

  Your comment would have more of a point if it was commonplace to see unshaved women in media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s not pretend like it’s normal for the media to show women unshaved.

  This is a site designed to support and encourage discussion and conversation.

  I’m not arguing with you by engaging you in conversation based on the content of your comment.

  I’m not arguing, I was expanding on your comment.

  Where was I arguing with you?

  Eh, diversity in media is more important than sexist assholes who think they have a say in how women are supposed to look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure that’s a good enough reason to avoid showing women with body hair in media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My righteous anger preceded my lack of shaving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  Thanks for recognizing the difference between personal preference and personal choice <3
