Somebody posted a link to this enlightening thread. Now I will have to read every last friggin' stupid comment on there.
On the plus side, it will make from some interesting (if somewhat sad) post material. If I can bring myself to copy that dreck into my journal.

Date: 2005-02-13 12:06 am (UTC)My HUSBAND doesn't care that I have hairy pits or legs, though he finds it sexy too when I've made them all smooth and made that effort. I don't shave unless I bloody well WANT to...and sometimes I will just for the "American cultural politeness" factor, like if I'm swimming or wearing shorts. Shaving is a hassle. I don't even care if my husband has facial hair, so long as it's not porcupine-ish against my own face if he wants a kiss. ;-)
Some of those stupids would be just mortified by the present state of my legs and pits. I even have a faint wiry blond "mustache."

Buh-wha? That's not even a "women are equal, we don't need feminism anymore" argument, it sounds more like "feminism's failed us, now go conform to our strict beauty standards!"
