Hirsute Women - Yay or Nay?

Given the amount of men, especially younger men sporting beards these days? Do you think women should reconsider their grooming habits?

In the 1970s it was all the rage for women to be much more hirstute than today. And apparently it's making something of a comeback in the USA.

So, do you think women should be more natural in the hair department? Or is it sexist to expect bare armpits and Brazillians?

i think a beard would look atrocious on a woman.

If american porn in the 70's and 80's is your only reference then maybe.

No, French and German too

I think it's quite depressing how we keep changing the goal posts on what a woman is. To be desirable she's intended to contort to accommodate all sorts of ridiculous fashions and fads while seeming easy going and not caring too much, an "au natural" lady who only spending hours and a large portion of her income being waxed and shaved and preened and painting her face and eyelashes. She'll spend hours in the gym and eat a limited diet to maintain a "healthy" physique .But she won't get muscly or too strong now, we wouldn't want that, that wouldn't be ladylike. She'll work to have skinny long legs and a tiny waist while still magically maintaining the fat in certain areas to have the whole "tits and ass" jiggle.

People have had body hair since the beginning of time. The species was not on the verge of dying out before Veet wax and the Venus shaver were invented. Men were not refusing sex, huddled in corners replused and traumatised by the site of a hair. Can we not just all grow up and let people be as they are and recognise that we're becoming entirely informed on issues like body hair, particularly public hair, by advertising, tv shows and porn. Someone's benefitting from the stupid slavish ways our tastes are created and it's not any of us. It's people creating products and businesses around catering to our dysphoric notions of what an normal body or face is.

Hairy legs, no, but hairy armpits on a woman of Italian descent I wouldn't be too bothered about.

For example... Who's that girl?

Everybody knows that women are disgusting in their natural state and need interventions to make them attractive. You can't expect men to like hairy armpits. Their own are fine though, obviously. Ugh, women.

Plenty of men do like hairy armpits though(hi), so we don't like being lumped in with "all men" who apparently hate body hair. Just do what you like yourself and people who like it will like it and people who don't, won't.

Personally I say yay. Not mad about hairy armpits or legs but it wouldn't stop me. It's a total turn off if a woman is completely bald downstairs, as a woman looking like a 9 year old girl is just wrong.

It's probably due to growing up in the 80s when a glimpse of pubic hair through lingerie in catalogues or wherever was one of the few thrills going.

There's worse things in life than getting a rogue pube stuck in your mouth. If I wasn't happily married man and I got a Barbie doll lookalike home, I'd send her home and tell her to come back when she's grown a bit of muff.
