This is a topic that has been bugging me and I get a lot of shit for this and my mom strongly disagrees with me on this. (She says that all women should be clean shaved like boys aren’t allowed to makeup which is another topic in itself)

There was a girl on tv with unshaved armpits which my mom made gagging noises and kept saying “how gross, how unclean, how ugly" every 10 seconds. I also made a tweet about this in which someone replied to me that body hair/armpit hair is gross on women and makes them smell bad. Here is my response/thoughts on the topic. It really isn’t gross. it’s a natural thing and society conditions us believe it is gross. it is a statement, a resistance. One should have the right to explore and blur the lines between what is strictly male or female without criticism. You have the right to shave or not shave but the main point is you do it for yourself. not for society, not for boys, not for other girls but for you.
I couldn't give a shit about shaving my armpits. Sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't. Isn't it funny how it takes so much damn work just to look 'like a woman'? Not even beautiful, but just 'feminine'. Shouldn't our natural state be seen as the most feminine?
