Would more women have body hair if it was "socially acceptable"?

Question

SueShe · Accepted Answer

Because of a number of Hollywood bimbos declared that hair on women are unappetizing, the entire world thinks that those K's and other names of the alphabet letter degenerate wannabe celebrities are the ones to go by.

Little do those girls know that the hair on any body parts are there for a very specific reason. That reason is to protect sensitive body parts from dust and bacteria.

But because a number of those starlets believe that they need to create a new fashion, the brainless girls (and guys of course) have decided that this is the thing to go by, regardless whether they harm themselves or not. That is called group/peer pressure and a great number (if not the majority) of teens and older succumb to that brainless movement.

Yet the same people are exactly the ones that protect themselves when sunbathing by putting SPF50 suntan lotion, just to protect themselves from the nocive UVA/UVB.

Now, where is the logic behind that?

One one end, you remove the protection (hair) but on the other end, you put it on (suntan lotion).

Goes to show that people nowadays are basically just sheep that follow. If the alpha K sheep jumps the cliffs, the human sheep will do it too just because they need to follow the trend.

To answer the question, yes. But not many.

Women shaving their body hair isn’t a new thing like a lot of people believe. Women shaving their underarms began before the 1920’s when dresses became sleeveless. After that, when hemlines grew shorter women began to shave their legs. Now for the pubic hairs, in the 80’s and 90’s the hair was trimmed. Then the Brazilian became popular around 2000.

(All of that has nothing to do with the Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians though. They were doing weird shit like burning off their pubes.)

Today, women have all ranges of body hair. From the whole body shaved, to just the legs and a trim for the bush. Whether people think it’s “socially acceptable” or not, modern women really dictate their own personal style of body hair.

I'm pretty sure of yes, in fact I think that not having body hair is a consecuence of public ignorance or female sadism ( not sure which one is the correct)

I think most of females think that male like more without body hair, although its difficult to find a man who finds it unattractive, a red flag would be even more strange.

It's like saying I'm sure all the men prefer it with our body hair although most of them tell me, they like it.

Or, women tortures between them on some social ritual to obligate them to quit it.

I think one of those would be the most likely options.

Social acceptance has nothing to do with sexual attractiveness. Hairy women are generally not considered feminine. Same way large overweight women are not normally seen as physically attractive. This is due to genetics and sexual selection. Trends may adjust little things in attraction. [Heroin sheik of the 90s and thick booty of the 2010s] but essentially they just accentuate different parts of femininity. Body hair doesn't seem to harbor any sexual selection attributes. Maybe in the super cold environments. But not generally across the board.

Angie221994 · Answer

I don’t think you realize that lots of women let their body hair grow. You just don’t know it. For example: in the winter, or when were at that time of the month, or just plain laziness. That’s why there’s jeans, and T-shirt’s.

So this whole “socially acceptable” thing is just not even relevant. We all don’t shave sometimes. Unless you’re OCD about it. But for the most part, we don’t shave sometimes, we have body hair, but most of us just cover it up.

JMLover09 · Answer

Growing up I thought it was disgusting to have body hair. But now idc. I see female coworkers with arm hair. I think younger people care more about it. If I see someone with armpit hair I don't think I'd be grossed out unless they smelled bad. I usually trim but for the most part Idc what society says about body hair.

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Probably. I mean men would be less likely to work long hours or try to work for more money if it was socially acceptable and allowed by women. But that could be said about a lot of things, people would probably be more likely to be assholes if it was socially acceptable to do so, so really whats the point of the question?

Clo917 · Answer

Probably. A fair amount of women start shaving due to it not being socially acceptable. Like I've heard dozens of stories of girls getting bullied in school over having hair, it's kinda ridiculous. If it was socially acceptable, I think we'd be a lot more lax.

Thatsamazing · Answer

... It's not "socially acceptable" because it's not what people (male AND female) *want.* It's not like this concept came from the sky or is alien or something-- the majority of girls shave because they *want* to. It makes them feel feminine and different from us, which is something they desire. If a girl doesn't want to shave, she doesn't have to. No one is going to make her. But the socially acceptable part of it has followed people's desire, not the other way around.

naijagurl · Answer

I definitely think most women would have more body hair. I know many women that only shave to avoid embarrassment or ridicule. Even women that do prefer to shave would probably shave less often if society didn’t hold them to such a standard.

smølf · Answer

Yes they would, the evidence is all over.
Until porn started to become hairless in the late 80'es, this was common though the entire human history.

Since the porn industry change the western culture new generations have grown up with this brand new culture without hair or natural smell. It fits well with out synthetic reality, where we become more more distanced to nature.

EmilySmith04 · Answer

As a bisexual I find body hair on women unattractive

demigdss2206 · Answer

personally i wouldn't. having the hair on my head in my face is annoying enough lol. i feel more clean and better about my hygiene with less body hair as a woman wheither or not society liked it, accepted it

sageevalentinee · Answer

Maybe...

I got laser treatment and I really like it. I most likely would not have got it in the first place if women did not remove hair. But honestly I just prefer without. My skin is so much smoother and nicer etc.

IrishMann · Answer

Dude come to Ireland if you like hairy women. You will be in Nirvana. 99% of the women here have a bikini line that starts at their ankles and finishes at their neck. Many of them are ginger which means their pubic hair is like an industrial wire brush. Giving oral sex is like washing your face with rusty barbed wire and if you ever wondered what a whales vagina smells like your in luck because they are all rotten.

LoU_Hades · Answer

it's 21st century, shaving armpits takes 3 minutes
why should a sane girl reduce her attractiveness for a shitty feminist ideology?

I find armpit hair, hair on legs and too much bush in the panties very unhygienic and unattractive

Ellie-V · Answer

In some cultures it socially acceptable to not wear a bra, and many of those women... choose not to wear a bra 😂 I think the same logic applies with the body hair thing

Reaperbot666 · Answer

I do not mind body hair on a woman. So long as she did basic maintenance on it. Don’t have to shave it all off. Maybe just trim it back to a decent length.

ElizaPam · Answer

No it’s gross. What these girls call a social statement I just call being lazy.

FranLimonade · Answer

Ewww count me out 🤢 I'm sorry, but that just sounds gross.

Pamina · Answer

Well, obviously yes? I don't know if I would, because it's impossible for me to imagine what it would be like to grow up in such a society.

Rocky_Jocky57 · Answer

Probably. Especially with leg hair, armpit hair is a two second thing, leg hair is more of a nuisance.

xyz94 · Answer

Maybe, it's hard to say because society has taught women to think that body hair is dirty and gross, and we've internalised that.  Please answer mine?

Ann-Sophie · Answer

Nah, everyone should do whatever they prefer but I just like my body neatly shaved and soft

cth96190 · Answer

Body hair is a woman's way of telling the world that she wants to die single, childless and surrounded by cats.

Lauren-green · Answer

More probably would, but I still wouldn't. I actually prefer to shave thanks 😜

LaBrownEyes · Answer

I feel I'd be naive to say "no". Also flip it and you'd see it'd be more socially acceptable to have body hair is more women wore it.

phatma22 · Answer

I never do things to please society. with that being said , whether it was acceptable or not I would not have more body hair because it's very uncomfortable having a lot of body hair.

Sensmind · Answer

Yeah - We are slaves to fashions and trends - Any analysis of the pattern of having/not having female pubic hair over the different eras will show you that
Though on mainland Europe female armpit hair is fairly common

Evil_Chuck · Answer

Sure, people will follow whatever is socially acceptable. But for now body hair on women is not. Women generally like to feel clean and smooth, and men also generally like them that way, so off goes most of the body hair.

Warmapplecrumble · Answer

Yes I would stop shaving if I wasn't bullied for having it

Liam_Hayden · Answer

More would, but there would still be a lot who wouldn't. After all, men having body hair is socially acceptable but a lot of us, even those of us who are straight, manscape.

seriously1026 · Answer

I think a Lotta dudes would be so down for this ya.. even YOU guys the ones who won't admit it. And some people don't know they like something until they see and experience it so u think not for me but for some ladoes they'd be happier harrier

MajesticTwelve · Answer

I sure wouldn't. I hate the feeling of it, and it makes you smell funny.

Chasegormley · Answer

It's just a hygienic thing, I think its gross when guys have hairy armpits too! You sweat more, deodorant runs off easier. it's like do a like unibrow... no, it's not a physical trait I find attractive on others or myself.

bulletbob555 · Answer

Well let's hope it doesn't become the norm. I hate if a woman hasn't shaved her legs. I like smooth not prickly

Holy_Ghost_Fire · Answer

Yes. Women don't realize they are slaves to a May 1915 issue of a magazine where the razor was popularized. Women follow after trends so much that they can't realize things on their own.

Anonymous · Answer

You'd probably have 2 camps of women, both continually shaming each other. Those who would and those who wouldn't.

TrueGem · Answer

Hell no! I wax off all my body hair and if I had money, I’ll get permanent laser hair removal.

Unit1 · Answer

I'm sure they would but that is simply "not so attractive" in other words. Epilation is best!

AlexD538 · Answer

Yes, probably. If anything becomes more socially acceptable, it is likely that it will become more prevalent.

Joker8 · Answer

Ever heard of testosterone? it's not social acceptance that's stopping them it's their hormones... they weren't made to be hairy in the first place

Pulimuli · Answer

Pretty sure most would if it always had been If shaving body hair was unheard of nobody would do it and the thought alone would seem weird

Benny_Oakley · Answer

You do you just accept the fact that most men like it at least trimmed back.. for me armpit hair is a turn off though I don’t know about if we’ve been in a relationship for a long time

No. I find a long of women don't like body hair, I don't have any so I agree with them...
