The "propaganda" that hairy legs aren't feminine?


Yep, what better way to be able to sell leftover razorblades than to convince women they need to shave?

Men have more hair than women, ergo less hair is more feminine. Also who wants hair in their teeth? Grooming is just basic hygiene.


Your ignorance of history is showing. It only became at all normal for women to shave because Gillette and a number of other companies had a whole bunch of razors it couldn't offload because all the men were off fighting in the war, so they started a propaganda campaign to get women shaving. That's a relatively recent social norm.


If true, those men at Gillette did our country a service and we salute them! However, other parts of the world already had shaving or equivalents so that story seems unlikely. Given that hair has likely always been a concern for women, I'd assume that the practice picked up whenever they started to show more skin.

I'm glad most of POTD understands that while women are not obligated to shave their legs, others are allowed to like or dislike body hair

That's fair, I think.

Personally, body hair doesn't bother me because in my head, it's natural and if we weren't living in a society where right angles and perfect temperatures is "normal" nobody would care about body hair


Reinforcing that this was a really weird troll topic.
