the stigma on hairy legs

i had this conversation with a couple of friends over dinner, about this woman who came in a massage parlor with extremely hairy legs. And my male friend said, "that's disgusting, did you have to wear gloves?" first of all, i was appaulled with this reply. Did she have to wear gloves??? Why?! for what reason?? because she has hairy legs? And is it that disgusting to the point where you have to make sure that the physical contact that will take place has to be totally secured?!

And people tell me feminism is dead. If it is, then why do these comments still come around? The social stigma of women having hairy legs is so over rated i know, but why do people still think this way? and this friend of mine also said that "hairy arms/legs define a man" yeah. right. talk about equality right?

This is still an underlying issue that a lot of women refuse to talk about, they feel ashamed to tell others about their hairy body and that totally sucks ass. WE should ALL be happy with what we have. And always keep in mind that MEN and WOMEN are created the same. yes, WITH HAIR FOLLICLES. so get that straight. if a woman ever decides not to shave, its on her decision. and don't make her feel bad about it. Abolish this stigma on hairy women. I am hairy too, and so does a lot of women i know.

Let's wear our skin proudly, hairy or not. WEAR YOUR SKIN WITH PRIDE!
