Pass The Cake.
July 20, 2009
Right, I was sat in the bath yesterday, when a thought suddenly popped into my head.
Why the hell is it socially unacceptable for women to be hairy but not men?
I mean, hair’s a very confusing thing in my opinion. If you have long hair then stereotypically you’re quite feminine (generally actually female), but lo and behold, should you have hairy legs then you’re officially classed as a guy.
Now, this isn't my way of saying "I have hairy legs and I'm proud." On the contrary, I give in to what's expected and my legs are always as hair-free as possible.
I just don’t understand why people (myself included) find hairy legs and armpits on a woman disgusting, but it’s completely expected on a guy.
And along with this, when did hairy women become so frowned upon by society? I’m pretty damn sure those Cavewomen wanted all the hair they could get…. Were the Egyptians hairy? What about those Roman women? Maybe the real reason Victorian women covered their legs was just to hide their stubble?
I for one, would like to know more about hairy women.
