At GLAMOUR we are all about embracing your body exactly how it is - and that includes your body hair. If you're wedded to your razor and prefer your skin to feel as slippery smooth as a dolphin, you do you, but if you'd prefer to embrace your body hair in all its glory, that's also bloody amazing.

That's exactly why we've long been a staunch fan of Esther Calixte-Bea - a Montreal-based artist whose photographic series, Lavender, is a self-liberating photography project about body hair and femininity. She uses her Instagram account to showcase her body hair in all its glory alongside empowering messages which inspire her followers to shun unrealistic societal beauty standards and expectations.

Her latest post is a prime example of her empowering mission. Esther shared a photo of herself and like-minded body hair activist @laetitiaky to remind their followers of the power of supporting each other online and it's a lesson to everyone online.
To be honest, I kind of agree with Calixte-Bea in that women are constantly suffering due to unrealistic beauty standards set by society.

I prefer women to sort out body hair, but I also look after mine so its not exactly hypocritical.

Im a guy and I trim or shave literally every single hair on my body except for my eye lashes. I would prefer if my girl did not grow her body hair out.

That being said, its only leg hair that really bothers me on a chick.

A little hair most anywhere else like arms, pits, pubic is fine if its trimmed. Or at least as long as its not horribly thick.

No one should be "shamed" for anything that isn't disgustingly illegal. However, people are still allowed to have preferences. Women having body hair isn't a problem for me though. So long as they are still feminine looking with it.

I apologize, I must have missed a context post, I was confused on what to do with shaving or not was illegal. I get confused easily sadly.

What I meant was no one should be shamed for anything ever including body shaving. The exception to that being the more of disgusting crimes.

I'm cool with armpit hair, but with hairy legs on a girl, it's a massive, almost instinctual turn off. I'm sure I'm not the only one

I think most girls who are still ultimately interested in mainly dating straight dudes should think twice about going too far into the "I'm not gonna look good for MEN" mentality.

If you don't give a fuck about dating straight dudes then go for your life

They shouldn't have to shave, it's a lot of work and we should be okay with how human beings naturally look.

That said, it's similar to the makeup discussion. The vast majority of straight men have been subconsciously trained to prefer less body hair/makeup. Individually trying to opt out of that is unlikely to succeed. There needs to be a ground up cultural shift. And it's probably too late for most of the straight dudes out there right now.

I don't have a preference either way. If she wants to, cool. If she doesn't, also cool.
