Do You Shave Your Legs? [POLL]
I've met women that didn't shave their legs.
Yes, they were girls. They were also hippies. I am, too. I didn't bat an eye at it.
There are various customs that women engage in that are seen as norms but could be considered forms of oppression.
Make-up is one. Shaving legs is another.
Yes, shaved legs look better than non-shaved legs. However, it's some seriously powerful brainwashing that has made half of the population that they need to scrape their body with sharp metal a few times per week in order to be appealing to society.
When did it start? Well, the Internet has a few answers for that.
One article pointed to another piece of work from 1982 that looked into modern body hair customs.
Regardless of when and where is started, if I were a woman, these are two things that would most likely find their way on to the list of things that society thinks are good ideas that I don't follow.
Hey, every once in a while for a nice dress or outing? Sure, I'd do it. But all the time? Doubtful.
What do you think?
