I definitely agree with you on this one. The desire for female hairlessness is a strange obsession, though I feel I understand why people often expect or want women to have less visible body hair...even though I don't agree with that view.

Oh! lol! Osama Bin Laden's head in a leg-lock! Ha ha! That is an imaginative metaphor. Very vivid. You startled me.

However, when they have a giant pube trail going up to their navel, I think that's just their way of saying "this will do until I have enough money for the sex change operation cuz I want to be a dude".

Ha ha! The whole last two pages of hair commentary made me laugh till I cried! I especially like your "interior decorating theory" for exterior hair decoration, boo boo (the curtains and drapes analogy).

And what about eyelashes? For eyelashes, the "male = hairy, female = hairless" steretype breaks down. Odd, no? Example: male cartoon animal characters typically lack lashes, while even female cartoon frogs are given long fluttering ones...an impossibility that always irks me SINCE FROGS DON'T HAVE HAIR!!!!!!!!

I had a (now dead) friend in high school with whom I was discussing men's and women's skin years ago, and I said something naive like, "Oh, men's skin on their faces is rough" (having never touched any man's skin at that time). He then replied, "If men shave off their hair, their skin is just as soft as a woman's." I thought that was very profound. I certainly looked at his chin a lot more after that.

I like soft skin on anyone. Hair can be soft, too, though. I agree with you, AwwSugar: I dislike stubbly prickles because they hurt. How often does one have to shave one's head to maintain a smooth, silky gloss, boo boo? And wouldn't people get...scalp nicks? Do you have to walk around with little bits of bloody toilet paper on your head for several hours after a head shave?
