Can you point out where I'm tying any of this to pedophillia please.
At no point have I even suggested pedophillia.
I have not mentioned sexual attractiveness to men being the focus of hair removal, nor even implied it.
I have been talking about patriarchal society valuing neoteny in women. Youth and beauty. Society. Values.
Somehow you all read what this and instead interpreted it as "'patriarchy'- that means men in angry dumb feminist speak, 'society' - this also means men, 'values' -this means what men are attracted to, 'pre-pubescent' - reeeee this dumb bitch is saying we're all pedos, get her!"
It's fucking embarrassing how poor your reading comprehension is.
Ah, excuse me for thinking that your comment about removing body and genital hair to more closely resemble a child had anything to do with an implied sexualization of children. It's only what every other person thought, and also a common claim.
You might go and actually read my comment, as opposed to throwing a fit because you dislike one sentence where I use a word you don't want me to use. I spend most of it talking about how society values purity and cleanliness, which hair removal is associated with.
I was actually trying to engage in a positive tone in good faith, unlike you it seems who I'm not pretty sure is just going for the argument and has no interest in anything other than getting to yell.
Ah, what sweet irony, considering you obviously didn't understand what I was saying.
I wasn't even talking about pubic hair ffs. You all saw 'body hair' mentioned in relation to women and assumed I was talking about pubic hair.
Why did you make that aasumption I wonder? Is it because seeing leg and armpit hair on women is so extremely rare that you forgot it existed? I wonder why that is? What, I wonder, does society value most in women? Hmmm. I wonder why that is?
Maybe because this all started with underwear?
You're clearly not interested in actually talking if your takeaway from either of my messages was to get upset about the exact extent of body hair removal I assumed you were referring to.
