If it was common place to see unshaved women then my comment wouldn’t have made any damn sense. My comment is only relevant because there are people who don’t shave and yet still look like they do.
Anyway I just had a tangential thought: my opinion of women showing off their armpit hair is identical to how I would feel about anyone who never wipes their ass after they shit. Both equally vomit-inducing. Just my opinion.
The most likely reason the actress was portrayed as unshaven was because women are overwhelmingly presented as hairless in media. Not because some people have naturally light hair.
I already explained why I replied to your comment - the reason this actress is portrayed as hairless is because we live in a patriarchal society that has strict gender expressions for women and that includes being hairless.
I wish that the conversation could be around the differences in people’s bodies instead of the media presenting a very specific image of how women are supposed to present.
How? You described wanting to live in a world where we could talk about body hair differences and yet you’re the person who wasn’t talking about body hair differences.
The discussion isn’t around the differences in people’s body hair. It’s about media’s representation of women’s bodies.
Your comment would have more of a point if it was commonplace to see unshaved women in media.

Only women? Not men?
Armpit hair isn’t the equivalent of literal shit.
Need I repeat, IN MY OPINION, both armpit hair & shitty butt cracks are equally hygienically disgusting.
Some thoughts are better left inside your head.
You can go back to reddit if you thrive on censorship.

OK, nothing I have said is against that point. So your point is fuck me for adding to the conversation or what?

I started this thread talking about body hair differences you’re the one who tried to change the subject. Be the change you want to see in the world.
I am.

Because this actress was still portrayed as hairless despite the circumstances the show set up.
Show me where it’s normalized to show women with body hair in media.
