As much as I agree that it is an issue, my main point was that, to me, it seems trivial compared to other social issues that women may have to deal with, such as equality in work, debates over stay at home Mums vs Career Women, etc. These are social concerns that I feel are important to women, which far outshines the issue of having body hair.

Thanks for that video - I will watch it a little later. Once I've got rid of this wretched hangover
