[By not shaving, I may give another bearded womon courage to fight the patriarchal judgment which tells her she is unwomonly and unnatural. By not shaving, I am asking every womon who ever stood before a mirror tweezing hairs from her chin to join me in displaying our reflection of the beauty standards that men chose to impose on us. The standards that we set for ourselves need not be restricted by the kind of male fantasies that would keep us soft and weak and dependent. Our power and our strength as wimmin must come from creating our own standards rooted in our pride of womonhood and our celebration of the female spirit within.]
