Hairy armpits: Pros and Cons
Hairy armpits are one of the most common clichés about women who want equal rights with men, and perhaps there’s some sense in that: there is no other inequality criterion that would be so obvious to us, especially on a hot day in the subway car. Different levels of wages in one position, double standards in the field of maturity, the need to take over most household chores - all of these are things that you can conveniently overlook. Nobody can pass by hairy armpits. As an argument in favor of hair removal, women most often cite "unhygienic" and "smell." The fact that these arguments mask intolerance to the violation of established standards of beauty will become obvious to anyone who thinks about the sales volumes of men's deodorants: how often is the question of unhygienicity asked to owners of masculine fluffy armpits?
Inspired by the discussion of the artist, photographer and Instagram star Petra Collins, which unfolded in our public Vkontakte, we decided it was time to submit the question for an open discussion.
