Apparently, its THE new trend.....


"" On social media and red carpets, from
New York to China, hairy underarms
are having a mainstream moment.
Women are proudly showing off their
growth on Instagram and YouTube, and
it’s not just Miley Cyrus anymore.
Jemima Kirke of “Girls” flashed her
fair-colored au naturel look — earning
some cringes — at the June 1 CFDA
awards, one of the top fashion events of
the year.
On Sina Weibo, a popular
microblogging site in China, the
women’s rights activist known as Xiao
Meili held an “Armpit Hair
Competition,” complete with prizes that
included condoms and a vibrator, to
protest societal pressure on women to
shave under there.
Her effort earned more than 1.7 million
hits.
“In the past two decades, there have
been a lot of commercials and
advertising for hair removal cream and
laser removal of hair that have talked
about women needing to shave their
underarm hair and that the armpit area
should be clean,” said the 25-year-old
Xiao, whose real name is Xiao Yue.
“My mother’s generation didn’t care
about that, but now it has become a
headache for women in the summer as
they have to consider whether to shave
that area or not,” she said.
Love it or hate it, not shaving under
the arms has morphed into a call to
action for other women as well who are
looking to be free of the constraint or
choose for themselves without ridicule.
Mom Katherine Anne True, a registered
nurse in Raynham, Massachusetts,
recently showed off her underarm
growth on Instagram, though she has
not joined others there who sport hair
they’ve dyed blue and other festive
colors.
“I started it a few months ago before I
knew it was a trend,” said True, 30.
At first, it was just for fun. Then the
extra hair was met by cringes from her
5-year-old daughter and 9-year-old
niece.
“When the girls told me I ‘had to shave
those’ and were grossed out it was kind
of startling that these gender stereotypes
were already so ingrained at these
ages,” True said. “I do it, or rather
don’t do it, for me but also as a
reminder to my daughter that it’s up to
the individual what we decide to do
with our bodies.”

Double post

I understand both sides. And since I am brainwashed like many of you by the patriarchal society, while I applaud their intentions, the above ^ trend grosses me out.

I aint exactly keen on it either

Was the Country named after the nut, the nut named after the Country, or both named after the hairstyle.

I'm talking Brazilian

ha ha ha

Throwin' my patriarchal two cents' in ('cause I wouldn't be an oppressive patriarchal social tyrant if I didn't):
I do not find armpit hair, facial hair, or excessively hairy limbs attractive.
I do find long cranial hair attractive.
For OTHER kinds of hair... Enough to rub my cheek in, not so much that I'll choke.

I gata be 100%honest here,I do appreciate a woman that keeps"it"shave,but GAWWWD,that jungle in paradise is such a BEAUTIFUL sight to the naked eyes!!!
