There's a strange stigma around women with body hair. Embracing gender fluidity, the body-positivity text has shown a light on this issue. In my experience, with my current spouse and previous men I've dated, it doesn't seem as unflattering as we think. So do you find body hair on women unappealing? Do you prefer women to shave?

*Just a note... whatever your preference (I personally like men with beards), please don't ever tell a woman that she 'needs to shave).

People are always asking me stuff like “oh, you haven’t started shaving your legs yet?” and “when will you start?” It’s not a WHEN thing, it’s an IF. I don’t get why this is so hard for people to understand.

IMO, you do you. Honestly I like the feeling of shaving my armpits but I will have you know, I’ve never shaved my legs, ever. I don’t care what others think of me. As long as I’m confident in myself, that’s all that matter to me! So like I said, you do you! Love your life! I mean like f**k society! They can’t tell you what you can and can’t do!

I hate armpit hair with a fiery passion. I will probably never shave anywhere else. It’s too much of a pain for something that only other people care about.

I don't think about it at all. It's none of my business.

Quick question. Why do all these post have down votes? Show me the rule, order, or let's even say law: that says; as a female all these things should be hairless. ............... Immediately still waiting.

I think it’s natural and beautiful. Any woman who had the courage to show off her beautiful natural hair is amazing. Some women can’t shave for various reasons and that does not make them in any way worse then if they had shaved.

It's their bodies and their hair. It's a natural thing. If they want to grow it, awesome. If they want to shave it, awesome. If they want to laser it out, awesome. If you want to style it, awesome.

If you wanna have hair, go for it. If you don’t wanna have hair, go for it. It’s your choice and I could not give less of a f**k.

I am non binary but was born and raised female, and in my family it was considered gross and I was always told to shave it. I think body hair is beautiful and a part of who we are. I understand that some people like shaving it, but they are beautiful either way

Honestly, I never think about it enough to form an opinion. It's not really my business, after all, it's theirs. I don't really care what anyone decides to do with themselves unless they are hurting others, which women with body hair are not doing.

If someone showers properly and does all the necessary hygiene, I don't have a problem with body hair. I prefer my body parts shaved and smooth. But I would never suggest someone to do something just because I do it. Regarding to my partner - I like when his head is shaved, I think it's very sexy, but if he doesn't want to I would never force him. It would be great if did not have so much hair down there, for BJ reasons 😂 but again he doesn't want to and I respect that.

I think it’s your choice what you do with it.
What do men think? Everyone has body hair!

Do what you want. That doesn't just include leg, armpit, AND facial hair. I'm curious, though, what would men say if women started demanding that they shave everything but their heads and eyebrows? 🤔

My father actually told me that it is fine for women to be expected to shave because women “make” men shave their beards…when…when did we do that? Other men did that for the military. But when did women make men shave all their facial hair lol
