This is just my opinion - not right or wrong, some will strongly agree and others will strongly disagree with me....a hairy, wild and wooly bush, all matted with the lady's juices is for me a disgusting sight. Doesn't look clean. Yet I'm well aware that in her natural state, left untouched, this would be how she's supposed to look. It just grosses me out. Thank goodness I'm a female and not into other females because I could never go down on a woman who wasn't clean and smooth. I don't even like stubble because of shaving. It's laser all the way for me leaving me so silky, smooth and soft. My SO absolutely loves and appreciates my effort to make my lady parts look and feel as good as they possible can. But most importantly I love them.

Ha! "a hairy, wild and wooly bush, all matted with the lady's juices" you're description of a woman's hairy bush sounds very sexy to me and I'm certain to a lot of other guys too.

Why is body hair linked to gender. Why should a woman only have hair on her head. Why is it unacceptable for a woman to have armpit leg or arm hair. I just don't get it. What makes it gross or unfeminine. Who has written these so called rules.
To me it's beauty. It's attractive and lovely

If you find it attractive, then either do it or look for that characteristic. No one is going to fault you.

I think you get it just fine. In the US, beauty is defined in many ways -- weight, height, eye color, use of make-up, shaving preferences -- many of these could be viewed as unfair. With regard to shaving, several woman have answered you that they feel less attractive with hair. I am sure most men will say that they find women with shaven legs and armpits to be more attractive. We all have tastes and preferences . . . I prefer a woman without leg or armpit hair, just like I find an intelligent, communicative woman to be more attractive to me. I make no apologies for my preference.

Everyone IS able to make her own choice. But, like it or not, we are all subject to pressure everyday -- the preferences of our partners, our friends, our family, our culture etc.

True that. Sad. It's just hair

Indeed. Don't lose any sleep over it -- it's just hair.

Body hair. It’s a completely natural thing that’s bound to happen to every single human being. Ever since the human species was evolved, they had body hair. And hey, what do you know? We still have body hair! Every. Single. Person. On. This. World. Has. Natural. Body. Hair. I cannot seem to stress that enough. Why do we have body hair? For protection and survival purposes! Yes, that’s right, body hair is actually important and there is actually a legitimate reason for it being there other than “being annoying and gross.”

So why on Earth are we telling people, particularly women, to shave? I was on this pro-body-positivity blog, and they received an anonymous question saying, “Not shaving is okay, but it’s not ladylike.” That being said, what does ‘ladylike’ even mean? According to this definition, ‘ladylike’ must mean something along the lines of, “altering your natural body to be in a very VERY unnatural state.” When did shaving become ladylike in the first place? Does that mean if a man shaves his pubes he’s acting like a ‘girl?’

There are two reasons why this comment is so rude. One, it supports gender rolls and expectations. Two, it states that a woman cannot be a “lady” if she doesn’t shave. My responses to this are: One, screw gender rolls and expectations. Anyone can do whatever the they want without worrying if it suits their gender. Why are you so worried about gender anyway if it doesn’t concern you? Two, NEWSFLASH! Females have body hair! Weird, right? No, it’s actually not weird because 100% of women have natural body hair. It’s actually weird to NOT have body hair!

Wen did shaving become a “proper etiquette” in the first place?
I’m not anti-shaving, but I am growing ahha.. However, I am pro-being able to do whatever you want without being judged. That being said, if a “lady” wants to grow out her bush then let her. Shaving isn’t “ladylike,” having body hair is! Shaving is just a weird form of self mutilation that people think is attractive. If you’re going to call someone gross for not shaving, you seriously need a reality check. 100% of females have body hair. Get Used to it
