Thanks to our society’s narrow standards of beauty, women are expected to have no body hair whatsoever (except, of course, on their head). But after being fed up with how much time it took to shave, one fitness blogger decided to throw away her razor and embrace her natural beauty instead.
In a YouTube video that has now been viewed more than 460,000 times, Morgan Mikenas revealed that she hasn’t shaved her legs or armpits in over a year!
“The purpose of this video is not to shame people who do shave,” Mikenas wrote in the video's info section. “I just want to speak on how it’s helped me become more comfortable within myself, and maybe inspire others to do something that makes them feel confident.”
In the 12-minute clip, Mikenas revealed that at around age 11 or 12, she was bullied for having hairy legs at gym class. She then went home crying and asked her mother to teach her how to shave.
“That’s when it all began,” she said.
Mikenas — who initially stopped shaving because “it just took so much time” — then went on to call out North American society’s ridiculous beauty standards.
After she started letting her body hair grow out last year, Mikenas recalled working in childcare where she took kids swimming once a week. Unfortunately, the children’s reactions to her body hair appalled her.
“I got these little kids who are in kindergarten and first grade harassing me and telling me, ‘Oh my god, you look like a man. You didn’t shave!’” she said. “This is the reaction I’m getting from little kids. What does that say if that is how these kids are being taught?”

Combined PING! and DANG!
NB, Asian women do not have body hair on their extremities or face. If you catch them in a candid mood, they will sometimes confide that they feel more genetically advanced than non-Asians because of that.
Hairy Bloggeress Alert!
If she don’t shave Laz won’t hit it..
Her armpits look like she has Colin Kaepernick in a headlock.
LOL! She ended up shaming people who DON'T shave...
A lot of girls do not need to shave anything.
I dated a little cutie who didn’t shave and I never even noticed until she told me. Her hair was light brown and very silky fine.
My late wife was a natural blonde and did shave but frankly she didn’t need to.
Every chick blogger I ever met smelled of vinegar
and rotting fruit.
Except for Gina Miller.
She’s a nice girl.
I know a rather attractive woman who hasn’t shaved for decades due to religious views. I hope I never see her nekkid.
Stationed in Italy for 4 years ...... Nair could’a been sold in 5 gallon buckets there in the 70’s.....

They do also seem to trend towards higher IQ in general as well....
Ummmmm, maybe women started shaving because hemlines rose above the ankle not because of advertising?
Yeah, who would want to hit a chick with legs more hairy than yours?
Of course, the "issues" this chick has would probably keep her far away, regardless.
this article is a prime competitor for the Most Useless and Uninteresting Diversion From Reporting Any Real News ..award. if the media is so determined not to do its job informing the American public....the very least they could do is publish some interesting* sex stories instead of this drivel

Ah geezus! I had to go look! Now, I can’t unlook! My eyes are forever damaged!
Leftist gals (my buddy calls them “poos”) have been going “natural” (shaveless) for decades.
It makes the ugly ones uglier and the pretty ones ugly. This of course is just what feminists want because it makes them less ugly in contrast, and that is very important to them because most of them are UGLY.
back in the day, black guys dug that.
