Stop being party poopers you two.

Regardless as to why we women shave, I shave for myself. My husband could be on a business trip for a week, my razor is still on double duty. Just part of my morning routine.

johnart said:

You people don't have a whole lot of experience seeing a woman's legs in their natural state, eh? That's, if anything, only a moderate amount of hair.

CarrieMpls said:

I know. The undergarment industry (corsets and such) were running a number on women AND men for years about the "correct" shape of a woman. But it's when advertizing as an industry really kicked off that it got scary.

johnart said:

The "short skirt" part is key, I think. It was around 1914 that women's hemlines started rising for the first time - and blouses (and undergarments) became lighter.

Also, around the turn of the century, the safety razor was invented - which meant that women could shave themselves in the privacy of their own homes. (No decent woman would have gone to a barber shop to have her legs shaved by a barber.)

Who doesn't have a whole lot of experience seeing women's legs in natural state??

hey! look at her! she's looking good!

you know what i like? i like a man that's going to caress me when my legs are smooth and a man that's not going to freak out if i choose not to shave for a while. it doesn't really have any bearing on my sexuality or how desirable i am. rock on.

But...did you?

johnart said:

You, for one, if you think her legs are overly hairy.


Imma let you in on a secret. Come close, 'cause I'm whispering so no one else hears. That's what unshaven women's legs look like. Many women, especially if they're of Mediterranean descent, actually have more hair than that

Regardless of whether she's hairy or not, I don't really find Mo'Nique attractive. However, I suppose I could see why another man would. She's confident and comfortable in her own skin and.....FABULOUS! She's a big girl and she's not afraid to flaunt it. I commend her. I respect her. Now, as far as her comedic skills are concerned....well, that leaves much to be desired. And sometimes, she has the tendency to be obnoxious, but it probably has a thing to do with self-empowerment and the recurrence of meeting folks who have an affinity to obstructing the extraction of confrontation into conflict. Her childhood was probably a lot to bear, so I understand. But do I find her attractive? MEH! Not in the slightest.

You realize you're getting sassy with a former drag queen...right?

Its winter.. she is just keeping warm..


but she shoulda shaved them and wore stockings instead..

emm said:

You are right. It doesn't have any bearing on sexuality or desirability.

For me it's about "presentation".
If my face looks scraggly and I have a special event to attend, I shave.

She's giving Hollywood Premier from the waist up and PETA demonstration from the knee down.

johnart said:

Gawd, I love you...

Genesia said:

I do indeed realize, I do indeed.

Drag Queen or no, it's remarkable what men don't know about women -including, apparently, what natural legs look like.

meow85 said:

When did I say she was overly hairy? For the red carpet yes. As the norm for a woman who has not shaved no.

Come here, close, Imma whisper in your ear...
I've been surrounded by practically nothing but women (all kinds even) since I was born.

I know more than I could possibly ever care to know about y'alls hairs (above, below, facial...) and grooming rituals.

johnart said:

Then why shit on a lady for not feeling like busting out the ol' Bic razor? Is there a law that states a woman has to be bald from the neck down to be presentable?

meow85 said:

Again. I didn't say that.
It's perfectly legal to look like a Yeti in Drag.

She looks gross. Yuck.

Efan said:

She doesnt look *gross*

she just needs to shave..

johnart said:

WTF? She doesn't look like a Yeti, she looks like a woman who hasn't shaved her legs.

It's really fucked up how many people are horrified by nature.

meow85 said:

If it makes you feel any better, I think he looks gross too. It's not like nature unchecked is always beautiful.

meow85 said:

Ok, I'm sorry.
It is perfectly legal to look like a balding Yeti in drag.

If a dude likes hairy legs he will do her regardless of what I have to say.
She's mega rich, I hardly think she gives a hairy shit what I think of her legs.
Why does it bother you so?
Different Strokes. It's not that heavy.

Efan said:

PRECISELY!!!

Women are free to sport the "natural" look if they want.

I am free to crack on them if they do.

Genesia said:

Do it from a safe distance.

It is has been scientifically proven that hairy women are twice as strong as smooth women. Nature don't play.

johnart said:

Oh, I'm very discreet. I only crack on them behind their backs.

My standard reaction -->

why not go all the way?
no make up, no hair style/product.
a dress made from a curtain.
if your going to do it, dont do it half-assed.

Genesia said:

Be careful when you giggle. The hair on their backs is especially sensitive to movement.
