Taking a stand: Temple U. students ponder female body hair standards

A few female (or, rather, female-identifying) Temple University students are making enough noise about an issue that the student paper felt it worthy of an article: They’re ditching society’s body hair norms.

According to The Temple News, so-called “body hair positivity” has been “gaining momentum” despite the still-growing global hair removal market.

Temple senior Lizy Pierson is one of those adding to that momentum. Pierson says that back in high school she refused to shave her legs “for other people’s happiness.”

I bet the women who let their body hair grow are butch lesbos.

Uh, eeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUU!

I'm curious. Has a man or any group of men placed a demand on a group of women that they shave? Maybe at one time, and then it was passed down traditionally from mothers to daughters. In today's world, I consider it a woman's personal choice as to whether they shave or not.

Of course, there's consequences for choices......but that's what makes it a choice to begin with.

What Lizy Pierson fails to mention is that she believes the same applies to bathing, and that she only bathes once a month as well.

I remember the southern Euro girls at college didn't shave.

Major turnoff.

Nothing new here

Maybe Temple U can adopt female body hair standards to what swingers would consider optimally appropriate.🙄

“Pierson claims leg-shaving is a thing only because the razor industry and the media “push the idea that women are more beautiful without body hair.”

Looks like Mother Nature, who eliminated facial hair on females, is a fascistic, capitalistic, racist pig. Wonder how she intends to penalize Mother Nature.

Here’s a hairy lady they could all emulate.

Eyewash for after reading the article.

Great! Now I need eye bleach.

Humboldt Honies is what we used to call them.

>>the moment some guy they’re into

There’s a big assumption there that may not be accurate.

Like a Patti Smith album cover with more armpit hair than I have.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

retro is nice in “certain areas” but all over? NO!

Here we go again with getting rid of hygiene and grooming standards.
