I am extremely exhausted from seeing people that I come across being repulsed by the fact that I decide not to shave. It’s not rocket science.
Just recently, I was at my community pool with some family, and I lifted my arms up to put my hair in a scrunchie, which revealed a shitload of hair on my armpits, and my mother, father, and this old lady that my mother was talking to looked so disgusted. My mother went, “That’s disgusting. You’re a young woman; learn your place. You should know how to properly shave. You won't ever impress a man with that gross bush.” And my father fucking nodded. The audacity. Then the old lady that my mother was talking to said that I was not very “ladylike.” Like, who asked you, Prudence? Just because I decide not to shave does not make me disgusting or any less "ladylike." I just don’t like the feeling of cuts, ingrown hairs, and razor burns. Some people need to get that through their heads.
