"Not everyone wants to look like a preteen girl."

And not every man wants women to look like preteen girls, either. Thank goodness.

This is a recycled fad that first appeared about 30 years ago. I recall a woman applying for a job where I worked, an obvious militant feminist.

She conformed to the point of wearing panty hose for the interview. However, her legs were so hairy that they stuck out of the panty hose giving her an unfortunate resemblance to a person wearing gorilla suit.

It was not pretty.

[Petronski]

If someone is properly bathed, what is the problem with hair? And what is so important about shaving or not shaving? I don't understand.

[MissAmericanPie]

the horror

[cyborg]

You knew her political beliefs just by her leg hair?

[KKing]

I'm not going to shave my armpits anytime soon based on those suggestions.

[Petronski]

That's why we're born with a razor built into our middle finger, right?

LOL

[Petronski]

I think shaving is the fad.

[AD from SpringBay]

flap jacks...

[Mamzelle]

I guess the fuzz is designed to distract from the crying need to add a supportive bra to this droopy ensemble...

[texasbluebell]

How "french" of her.

[television is just wrong]

Geesh, if I forget to shave, I atleast wear some sleeves over it.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!!!! I'm going to go barf in the corner now.........

[BlackRazor]

How someone could believe they are healthier and more attractive by adapting the hygienic practices of the filthy French evades me.

There is a theory (I'm not sure if any studies support this or not) that application of deodorant after shaving (nicks in the skin, etc.) is a contributor to breast cancer. If true, it would explain why women have a much higher incidence rate than men. Again, no idea if there's any merit to this, but it's something interesting to consider.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Actress Helena Bonham Carter is also known to shun the razor

This should be no surprise, coming from someone in the cast of "The Planet of the Apes"!!!

[altura]

Yes, I knew her political leanings by her leg hair.

[cyborg]

Good thing she didn't have to depend on you for a job.

"If someone is properly bathed, what is the problem with hair? And what is so important about shaving or not shaving? I don't understand."

I don't understand, either. It seems to me that those who are disturbed by a woman's body hair are somehow limited in their concepts. One person on the thread even implied that it was "natural" to not have armpit hair. How odd.

I guess it's all part of that syndrome that some men have which makes them somehow afraid of women, so the less the woman is like a real woman, the less afraid they are. Perhaps that's the attraction of the skinny girls with big breasts. I just don't know.

[WhiteGuy]

"I don't shave my underarms. If that makes me in league with the filthy French then so be it. I don't read those magazines AT ALL. Spot on!"

Good for you.

Last time I looked, America still stood for individual freedom.

[HamiltonJay]

Jeez, just what we need, celebreties giving our wives yet another excuse not to shave... its hard as hell for em to consistently shave their legs after they get that ring on their finger... no way I'm letting the armpit thing go... Wife decides to go french on that one, I'm outta there.
