Feminists and their pubes.

Topics: feminist gardens, feminists, pubic hair
As a feminist, I need advice from my fellows out there. I always thought that shaving my Oprah was a no no as a feminist but last week I did (hooray, I love it!!) and I can't help bu wonder. Am I a sell out for doing so? Should feminists shave their vagies or keep it up like a hippie garden?

Feminist or not... please shave! Its not a matter of principles, its a matter of hygene!-
Feminism is about choice. You should do what you like.
However, it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with hygiene. Hair follicles are a normal and natural part of every mammal’s dermal and hormonal systems. Texture and variation are a fascinating part of our evolutionary history in different climates. Hair is not inherently "dirty" on any animal of either gender. -
i'm so glad you cleared that up for him. i hate to hear men call pubes unhygienic. it's such bull!

I do depending on what I am doing and the weather. I cant say I like it any better but Hubby does. -
There is nothing wrong with doing some landscaping. Female or male. The Oprah and the Springer just look better!-
"The Oprah and the Springer just look better!"
That was funny!

Don't be a stereotypical feminist...that should be one of the beauties of feminism! Freedom to shave your pubes or not,as you please. -
oh my god - isn't part of feminism being your own strong woman? I consider myself a feminist, though not a die-hard feminist b/c I hate female sports commentators LOL but honey - i've been shaving my hoo-hoo for like 15 years - I LOVE it!!! =) so do the men =) -
The point of feminism is choice, no?-
Gooood point..
-
-
Since I'm the one that has to live with my hoo-hoo, I like to keep it tidy. I can't stand having a jungle down there. -
I'm not a feminist but I am a womanist and not only do I trim, i shave it ALL off and love it.
I say keep it smooth. -
I kept mine unsmooth because a certain naughty person wanted it that way, but now. I am bald like Dr Phil and it feels so clean, so fresh I am really appreciating having an Oprah -
LOL thats the way to be in my personal opinion I like my lady clean shaven whenever possible. -
Haha the fresh shaven kitty is inviting, indeed.

very profound, NP. Silence says it all. -
I just bumped the thread so I could hear more.
-
Haha, good one, profound.
How do you prefer your women? Wild and untamed, or shaven and tamed? -
Untamed, wild or shaved.
-
hmmm not picky...I like that
-
-
buzz...zz

For hubby, shaven make him think of one too young to be anything but. Suffice it to say, that look was a one-shot deal.-

What I think is that this is not a topic of conversation to have here in discussions. Perhaps you should give your email out so people can have these types of conversations there. I find it rather unpleasant to keep seeing these kinds of topics. Do most of us a favor, please and just stop.-
tee hee I like this topic...it makes me lolz

I don't understand why you find it so offensive, Theresa. Pubes are a fact of life. Every adult has them.
-
pubes, pubes, pubes. Let's talk about pubessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
-
it's personal grooming....what's so offensive about personal grooming? If it's ok to talk about shaving your legs, arm pits, face, arms, whatever, who cares if we're talking about pubes?
geez ow - and while we're at it - because I've already made this a pet peeve on my blog from last week - gentlemen, feel free to do a little grooming of your own - because we chicks (or guys, depending on how you swing LOL) don't need to floss our teeth when we're blowing your horn. =)

Gotta shave that puppy unless you happen to have a Delorean that can tranport you to 1973.

I think feminists should be more concerned if they have mustaches. Women with mustaches, not so hot.
-
ROFL....female stache discrimination has been going on for thousands of years. If I wanted to grow a giant handlebar mustache I can't because so called society thinks it's "weird" or "unattractive". Maybe I should defy society and work on one over the winter?
-
I think you should definitely work on one. It will be like a hat for your top lip!
-
hahha or like a nice tea cozy for my nostrils...okay operation stache is on.
-
If you grow it long enough I'll buy you come pretty clips for it.
-
sorry wrong spot. See below...

A better question to ask is should men wax their junk?-
I don't think men have the pain threshold for waxing. Shaving, yes. Keep it clean. It's considerate. Very few men want to stick their tongue into an afro. I'm sure fewer women like to be met with vicious thorns in their eyes when going down.
-
I used to be a professional Brazilian waxer, you'd be surprised at the number of male clients I had.
-
I'd stick to shaving. You get smooth. I couldn't take the waxing thing.
-
lolz vicious thorns. I think at the very least they should trim. Who wants a forest of feelings down there? Noone that's who.
-
I did a Brazilian for the first time ever a few months ago...first time embarrassing because there was labia minora and majora all on display and then second time peice of cake. I'm sure you've seen an army of vaginas in your day as a waxer
-
Yeah it's probably the only way she can identity people.
"We went to school together? I don't remember you! Take off your panties let me see. Ohhhh Julie from chemistry. How are youuuu?"
Ok I'm done. I should be writing papers. I'm out BC ppl. -
I performed all sorts of skin and body services so I saw an army of all things naked in my career, yes. Lots of fake boobs, silicone lips and other things that keep me awake at night with PTSD.
-
hahah night Drew...pleasure as always. Go write your paper!
-
lol Yikes labia flashbacks...of the worst kind. It takes time to work those out of the system.
-
-
just sozat I'm clear on this, is wearing a cleavage-bearing habit also a feminist no-no?-
no, it's for feminist nuns

whatever feels good -
I damn near peed myself when I saw this title .. thank you Lolita, I really needed a good giggle tonight xoxox ... lol

What's the connection between feminism and shaving? Or coloring it green to vegetarianism? ... -
I've never heard it called an "Oprah" before but I like that a lot (I wonder if Oprah Winfrey knows her name is being used in such a fashion?). I have heard it called a Chuckee, and a hoo-ha, and a ta-ta, and 'yer business' but never an Oprah!
I like it shaved best--and so does my honey. Much cooler in the summer, that's for sure!-
What matters is what something is, not what it is called ...

Hmmmm...feminists displaying proper grooming? I always assumed that they had hairy pits/legs and thus smelled like sweat, pits, and feet (and patchouli oil - however you spell that). Sort of like a weird combination of raspberries, cheese, and onions.
Personally, I don't prefer my women to look like underage jailbait "down there" - but it also doesn't have to be Margot Kidder circa 1975, if you know what I mean. Somewhere in between suits me just fine. A "treasure trail" if you will.
