“almost every woman i have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’ — of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind”

— Elana Dykewomon “Notes for a Magazine"

Like there’s this lie men perpetuate, again, coming out of pedophilia culture, that shaving and waxing all your vaginal hair increases sexual pleasure and it’s 100% not true. Like it’s fake they’re just making up reasons to justify why they want your genitals hairless and like the reason they want your genitals hairless is. Pedophilia culture.

it’s also stressful to the body - 1. pubic hair is protects vulnerable skin and membranes from infection and other abrasive conditions and fully taking that away (aka going beyond trimming/shaping existing hair) is not recommended. 2. even if you don’t literally cut yourself shaving in the typical sense, the tissue there is sensitive to the point where shaving often creates microtears that aren’t visible on the surface, small abrasions, and rashes which again up the chance of at least regular irritation, at worst infection. 

tbh I’m sure this post is going to inevitably get comments accusing it of attacking “personal choice” and yada yada but it isn’t really “personal choice” when it’s taught at an increasingly young age as necessary hygiene. anyone can read this post and continue making their own decisions about hair removal, I’m more worried about the literal infringement on personal choice being made through social coercion lol aka the multitude of impressionable people who normalize this as a self care / health practice and think they aren’t fit for sex or even existing without it, not knowing what creepy rhetoric it comes from + what the physical detriments are.
