believe what...? that people shave...? how are you explaining how someone else should feel about THEIR body? do you hear how misogynistic that is, even more so ableist.
you are not being feminist, you are trying to control other people's bodies and dictating how they should percieve their bodies. the reblogged made a claim that they had never heard a man say he felt uncomfortable with his body hair, i proved that wrong.
many men in east asia alike also shave.
shaving as a standard is patriarchal correct, but shaving itself is not patriarchal. it is a standard, but someone having that quality does not make them inherently subiding to the patriarchy.
a standard is to have long hair, is it wrong to not cut your hair? a standard is to have clear skin, is it wrong to clean your face and have a specific routine to obtain clearer skin?
"sorry!" for what? claiming to want to dismantle the patriarchy, yet upholding it with a progressive label?
oh, because perpetuating ableism and ignoring standards in other countries is so feminist.
and to even push further, no rate will ever fully be "50/50" when considering a worldwide statistic. especially for shaving, when considering cultural expectations and social norms. you sound ignorant.
you are pushing a harmful rhetoric, and trying to label it with feminism.
"i'll believe it-" believe WHAT. that people have boundaries or personal comfort? you completely ignore men who DO shave, and try to push that only women shave. many asian men shave.
you cannot "believe" someone's personal comfort, it is not for YOU to believe, it is a fact about OURSELF.
do queer people also need to "show" that they are queer for you to believe them?
so why do people who have personal comfort issues, many of those being neurodivergent, have to do the same?
you cannot speak about feminism, when you push ableist rhetoric and only use information regarding white men.
