Gentlemen, your opinion is needed.

I'd love to know how this woman handles her period.

Sure looks like she used the old Lady Bic to get rid of her mustache.

[johniegrad]

That's enough to cause a bezoar.

Plus she's forgetting that if a woman doesn't shave, men and women can easily tell that she's not a real blonde.

Waxing . . . you truly are a masochist. Next you'll tell us you do the full "Brazilian," which is all the rage nowadays.

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

The presence of body hair is an indicator of a woman's sexual maturation. Removing it denies that maturity and independence.

Hmm ... can't the same be said for beards on men?

I'm not concerned about hugging a tree. But, who will hug me if I have braided armpits?

Female body hair performs a useful purpose. It signals to the males who is not worth talking to.

Hey lady, I hate having to shave every morning too. Life is just so darn unfair sometimes.

now do you honestly expect me to admit to that on a public forum? ; )

I use to share an office with one of the most beautiful black women I have ever seen. Problem was she didnt shave. I never asked about it because it is none of my business, but heard from others it was for "religious" reasons. Though I suspected she was a baptist from hearing her talk about 'her church' and shes the only baptist women I ever met that didnt shave.

She could have easily been on magazine covers if she shaved.

A woman's body hair is not a hindrance to her femininity; it is a symbol of her sexual maturation and womanhood.

My daughter is training to be a professional ballet dancer. I hear all the "locker room" stories about those with and without hygienic habits. And it is always the ones with dark hair who offend the most. Most people think of ballerinas as delicate creatures with refined ways - - -not at School of American Ballet!

Women on campus and everywhere should put away their razors and reclaim their body hair this summer.

Uggghhh. Who wants to go out with a he/she? You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, and hair on the legs is definitely not sweet bait.

You know what it is. Thus, I believe I've got my answer!
