I only stopped shaving about 4 months ago so I’m pretty sure it hasn’t reached it’s glorious final form yet, but ya know, it’s getting there. I fully acknowledge that there are greater problems in the world right now than reclaiming female body hair. I’m also aware that I am white, cisgender and heterosexual and so being able to grow out my body hair as a personal experiment comes with very low/no risk to my safety, and this is a privilege not everyone can afford without consequence. I am not claiming to be brave or radical, this comic is just an effort to share some thoughts I’ve had in my head.
I feel like it’s also important to mention that it doesn’t bother me at all if you like to shave! If you prefer how your smooth legs look or feel, or you shave for cultural or religious reasons – or any other reasons! – that’s totally cool. It’s literally just a preference. I have my own reasons for not wanting to shave my legs, maybe I’ll want to again one day, but for the foreseeable future I’m happy leaving them be.
I’m always open to discussion, I understand that posts like this can encourage a reaction and that’s the point. But please keep any ignorant comments to yourself. I absolutely do not give a fuck if body hair makes women unattractive to you. To me, it’s just hair and it’s no different to the hair growing out of my head. If you think I’m gross I think you’re dumb and I don’t wanna be mates with you anyway.
I just watched The Blob for the first time and not to spoil it but cold is the only way to stop it so they ship it to the arctic. And these old B movies get a lot of flack for not actually being scary but the last line of the film was that the blob can’t be killed but at least it’s stopped “so long as the arctic stays frozen” and lemme tell you that is THE most terrifying line a viewer in 2018 could hear.
