Not everybody’s armpit hair is dark black and long and curly. This is what my spouse’s armpits would look like whether they had shaved recently or not.
Let's not pretend like it's normal for the media to show women unshaved.
That has nothing to do with what I said.
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.
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.
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.
Only women? Not men?
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.
You can go back to reddit if you thrive on censorship.
You can go back to reddit if you don't want your bad takes challenged.
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.
I am.
How? You described wanting to live in a world where we could talk about body hair differences and yet you’re the person who wasn’t talking about body hair differences.
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.
Fun fact: I don’t have to show you shit to leave a comment talking about my spouse’s nearly transparent arm hair.
Seriously, are you doing OK? In the last couple of weeks I have noticed you seeming to be ultra pedantic and quick to get into cyclical arguments. Maybe I just didn’t notice it before because I didn’t disagree with whatever you were commenting. IDK.
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.
I am also guilty of jumping to the defense of things and making assumptions. I appreciate your apology and I hope you have a great day!
Thanks for accepting it and I hope you have a good day, too!
