Men should shave their legs and underarms

Monique is a beautiful woman. Good actress too.

That is plain NASTY!

I've always wondered why she could be so vane about her clothes choices, and how she looks...but won't put a razor to those legs?

I love that dress!

I think she's hairier than I.

And you counted each hair on her legs?

Is this a regular thing of hers? That she doesn’t shave, ever?

If so, I think that rocks. Good for her.

Seriously.

Some double standards are perfectly OK.

Shave that shit or wear pants.

no she's not , she's ugly and fat

To you man.

Some dudes like 'ugly and fat' women. I can guarantee that she has no issues getting laid - even with those beast legs.

Not that I can critique much because I'm a leg-shaver myself, but where in the hell did this double standard come from in the first place? How did we develop this idea that leg hair -something that occurs naturally on the female body -is gross and unfeminine?

i've NEVER shaved my legs

It was to make money.

In 1914 Harper's Bazaar had a model wearing a sleeveless dress and shaved smooth pits.

The razor companies decided men weren't market enough, so it was decided women needed to shave too.

Or so I've heard.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, this is not new. She has always been this hairy.

This is one area where I confess my sexism. I just can't wrap my head around dark, noticeable body hair on women. On the other hand, I have a problem with baby-smooth men, too, so...

I know. Hey, did you ever get that Nair gift basket I sent?

I don't know how women can walk around like that.

I'm sure you're not as hairy, though. She's on the verge of hitting Chewy Status with her legs. But hey, it's her prerogative. I'm not going to go and tell her she has no right to do it. Some dudes actually find that extra natural look sexy. Now, me.....nuh-uh! I'll take a chick with hair on her legs as long as they aren't even HALF as hairy as mine. I'm like Ron Jeremy when it comes to hairiness. It ain't fun. Especially the nasal passages. I have big golden nugget boogers that hang on the hair from my nostril's threshold.

Interesting. I'll have to look into that.

Let's hear it for advertising! Warping our perception of the human body since 1914!

I believe it was one of the Commandments.

Thou shalt not look raggedy in a short skirt.

I love EVERYTHING about Mo'nique otherwise.
This has always puzzled me because she's very "glam" in every other way. She loves her hair and makeup, and often wears "flashy" clothes.

There must be a JUNGLE just a few feet above those knees.

Also nasty.
That is Hollywood. Not 1970's German porn.
