When advertisements for laser hair removal are like "Never shave again!" and I'm like... You literally do not have to shave ever. Here's my secret to never having to shave again:

THROW OUT YOUR RAZORS

[puttingherinhistory]

Can’t find a map that covers occurrence of body hair for everybody, unfortunately just this for the male populations. Anyway, if you look at the map, you’ll notice the hairiest places in the world are the Mediterranean and northern Europe, aka places where there’s a lot of white people. Which brings me to my next point

Is it me or is it sorta really racist that a lot of progressives assume that women of color are naturally hairier than white women? dunno it just strikes me as racist bc it often comes off as these people seeing WoC as more animalistic and therefore more hairy but they’re trying to make their racism woke by spouting shit like “yaaas desi queen sport that mustache” I find it mind boggling really

I mean of course it’s important and good to make it acceptable for women not to shave, it just weirds me out how positivity posts like that often single WoC out and try to make them out to be extra hairy.

Redefine Women

[rehumanizewomen]

Rehumanize

The adult human female body is not inappropriate. My body grows hair because I am a mammal, just like men. If I am not granted the freedom to do what I may with my body, I am then considered non-human. The female body needs rehumanization.

Nature is liberating.

The patriarchy is a machine that sacrifices individuality to turn women into slaves to beauty, handmaidens of the patriarchy. Reverse your conditioning. Reject beauty!

Confidence

Let's talk about it. Confidence, when based on shallow, fleeting concepts (like beauty standards) is actually a myth. Confidence involves the absence of insecurity or shame. If you are body-conscious or body-focused, you are incapable of feeling secure in your image. That obsession with the appearance eats away at you. You think "I hope they look at me. I hope they think I look good. How does my hair look right now? I have to find a mirror. I have to make sure I look good in this outfit."

If your confidence relies on others acceptance of you, it's not confidence. True body confidence is body apathy.

Your natural marks aren't "flaws"

I think stretch marks are the coolest looking natural phenomenon that a person can have on their body. Scars are very cool as well, and birth marks are especially awesome. Even cellulite is nice to see, as it's refreshing to know someone isn't trying everything they can to hide it. These are all natural body traits that I think is ridiculous to consider flaws. They're so stunning to me. Y'all should cherish these proud markers of being a human.
