Anthony lolol Again with not using your brain (and I say "brain" instead of "brains" coz, let's face it, I doubt that you have 2 of them lol)... There was no razor back in that ancient history of yours! lolol... And as "Freak" mentioned, shaving was promoted by the razor industry... just like engagement rings were promoted by the diamond industry... Please, don't tell me that there was engagement rings back in ancient history lolol... Look it all up, buddy! lolol... women shaving and engagement rings are pretty recent!!! lolol...

actually it's been a fad that's come into and out of vogue throughout pretty much all of human history. Cleopatra, for example practiced dilapidation of just about everything. (Along with other contemporary Egyptian women.) Rome saw hair as barbaric and it was frequently removed from everywhere by both men and women. 17th centurry, Queen Elizibeth removed eyebrows- to increase the apparenty size of her forehead- and was followed by the rest of a certain segement of the population. King Camp Gillete (the guy that invented the safety razor) didn't create a fad- he exploited it. Women were already using the safety razor he invented, even though they were marketed for men because they were the most effective/convenient/whatever product to attain a certain goal. My point is that while nobody should be shamed for how they appear, people often go to extreme, and frequently odd lengths to look a certain way. Personally, i find somebody being who they are- whatever that is- more attractive.

That's right. I mean, it's normal for humans to be hairy. It's already carved in our genetic makeup. So why some people make a fuss over something like this?

I thought it was promoted by the porn industry amongst men, thus influencing women to go hairless.

Don't be silly. Preferring women with hairless skin has nothing to do with the razor industry; it just looks better. Women with hairy skin are disgusting, partially because of the way it looks and partially because they made such a decision.

err no, ppl have had the taste that body hair looks manly on women for ages.. shaving has been done since ancient history.

wow, you both make me laugh. this is not a norm created by the razor industry (let me guess, you also believe lizard people are real). it's a norm created by woman who were embarrassed by themselves and decided to do something to look more appealing. saying men are attracted to women who shave their bodies are pedophiles is just as saying that men who are attracted to women who do not shave their legs are homosexuals.

If you can't tell the difference between a little girl and a grown woman, body hair or not, you have bigger problems than you think. It's none of your business what people do with their bodies, and that includes shaving. Do it or not, but you don't get to judge others.

Monika, you make a very disturbing but valid point.

Every person has body odor...

What surprises you? From the tops of their heads to their soles of their feet, women are the essence of artificiality. Think about it, when you include leg shaving, there's not two square inches of a woman's visible face and body that are not camouflaged in one way or another.

Anthony... Again with your stupid "plaque" analogy that has no basis, nor correlation, with the subject at hand!!! lolol You sound like a broken record! lolol...

And....cappy pulled out the thesaurus today

Valefar, the majority of society thinks women with leg or armpit hair are "gross" or "disgusting", but not men with the same. What's the opposite of gross and disgusting? Clean and pure. And BECAUSE women face this disgust if they dare not to shave, they ARE brave to endure it. Not shaving isn't lazy, anyway. It's spending your time and effort more wisely doing something more productive. And I brought up those other social issues to show that I'm not perfect from the get-go, but still learning to accept new norms in society. Society instilled in me the disgust at ladies' body hair, so I'm still working on strengthening my sense of logic over my primitive emotions. You too seem to have work to do in that regard. Good luck.

2/2... Have you never heard the phrase "It'll put hair on your chest!"? Or seen depictions of manly lumberjacks all bearded and hairy? Or the endearment in the gay community toward "bears"? Even Gaston bragging about his body hair as a positive trait? The list goes on and on. Man hair is nearly always seen as a normal part of being a man. Even as a trait that separates them from women. And therein lies the rub. To seem feminine, a woman is expected to be the opposite of a man. Quiet when he's loud (or she's a b***h), demure when he's confident (or she's bossy), frail while he's strong (or she's butch), and hairless while he's hairy (or you get all the insults, sneers, and rape threats this woman has gotten). There's no real comparison with your examples, as I've explained; men's body hair still has its places of social acceptance, while women's still has none other than the few tolerant people scattered around, like myself (and even then I'm still working on that).

Maybe it's different in the area I live in (Great Lakes), but I've never known anyone who expected men to be clean shaven. I don't know anyone who thinks man hair is gross, other than a few people being turned off by back hair (but not thinking it's disgusting or dirty, just less attractive). Men who build muscles have taken to shaving/waxing so the contours of their muscles are more visible. And the only arguments I've heard against neck hair have been the term "neckbeard", but that's only for men who specifically shave their faces but leave their necks hairy. This unusual way of grooming is mostly ridiculed due to its prevalence among obese gamers, though I do agree that it's wrong to make fun of them for it. Regardless though, even then, it's usually only brought up when they earn the insult with bad behavior, rather than when they're just walking through the grocery store. (1/2)

WOW!!!! lolol Anthony lolol How low can you go with your comments!!!??? lolol Seriously!!!??? lololol... You actually can't use your brain to save your life, huh!? lolol... The reason YOU see that as "masculine looking" is because you've been indoctrinated/programmed/brainwashed into the societal norms that have been imposed on us!... If you would live in a society where the norm was to never shave, you'd find her pretty and feminine as hell... So now, you should really ask yourself why you have this intrinsic need to body shame her coz of her hair!? You have hair (well, your bald, though I'm pretty sure you have hair in other places)... do you feel grossed out by your own hair? or do you feel jealous that she actually has hair that grows naturally whilst you can't seem to grow one on top of your egg head??? I'm curious... And think about it... if you look at her as masculine looking, then... following your own logic... your baldness doesn't make you masculine looking at all...

(cont'd - #2) She's proclaiming that it's natural to have hair... So, if I were you, I wouldn't body shame her so quickly coz there's so much body shaming we could do to you! Coz... honestly, you're no model of beauty! Far from it... So, instead of putting other people down in order to lift yourself up (BTW, did you enjoy my body shaming you??? I didn't think you would! Though it served its purpose!), start working on your own self-esteem and confidence issues... You'll see that when you'll do that, you won't have the need to put other people down anymore!... And please, start thinking for yourself instead of behaving like a sheep... it really doesn't suit you!...

(cont'd) Maybe that's why you felt the need to grow a moustache? to compensate for the lack of hair on your head?... And I'm pretty sure you're gonna say that it's not the same thing and that baldness is accepted and even seen as sexy on certain men (not on you, though!)... Well, I remember that, not even 20 years ago, baldness was seen as a lack of virility... seen as a man not being a man... Hmmmm, I wonder what changed in 20 years to make it acceptable to be bald and not seen as lacking virility coz of it!?!?!?!? lolol... It's because of a change in perception!... Because some bald men stood up and publicly proclaimed that it was, in their case, natural to be bald (genetics playing a role here) and that they were embracing it! Over time, the rest of the world embraced that notion, too.. .even to the point of proclaiming that it was sexy (again... not on you, though!)... So... when you think about it, this model is doing the same thing as your bald men predecessors lol...

No! Her modeling doesn't give ANYONE the right to body shame her, attack her, nor threaten her! Her being in the limelight is no excuse for other people's bad behaviour! So, please, don't try to excuse your poor morals and ethics with the fact that she's in the limelight for her convictions or otherwise! You have the right to your opinions, yes! However, this doesn't give you the right to bully people with your archaic views of how a woman should be, behave, and/or maintain herself! You REALLY need to look at your core values here coz they're beyond flawed! What's good for the goose is good for the gander! Chew on that for a while and pray that your brain will, one day, be able to process that appropriately! And please, stop with your poor rhetorics, coz you're publicly embarrassing yourself! lolol... Funny to see lol, though, at the same time, so so very sad! lolol...

Newsflash, Alex K.: Us women tend to prefer partners who treat us with respect. What a concept, huh? :P

He finds her sexy enough to drool over and applauds women for doing what they want with their bodies and you think that means he'll be single? If I was single I would snap him up in a heartbeat. We need more men like him!

I bet you are a lousy lay tbh

And you spelled "I'm single" wrong, Alex K! (With that attitude you just might be!)

That's not remotely equivalent. You modified your body, she didn't.

lolol That's funny, though... coz back in the days (way way back), tattoos were ONLY for women!!!... Eventually men appropriated themselves that art and body shamed women for using it... And I think it's awesome that you have a full back tattoo!!! :) <3 Keep on doing what makes you happy! Those who mind, don't matter... and those who matter, don't mind! ;)

very true

Valefar I'm not sure if it entirely fails to attract people attention - you do pay attention to the model's leg because of the hair, don't you? 2nd thing you will look at is probably her feet and adveritsed shoes so I don't think those hairy legs entirely distract form product.

When the advertisement distracts from the product, the advertisement fails to sell the product. This advertisement is an epic fail.

You mean in Russia, little 'bot?

Really it's much the same? Funny how men's grooming isn't anywhere near as lucrative an industry. Also the differences in responses to it are not some small thing. A woman not being into your back hair is not even in the same universe as being threatened with rape. You really need to "calm down" with the false equivalencies.
