[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] Something else? Ten bucks says your co-workers haven't spent much time outside North America, or even the states. Because if they had, they'd know that shaving, by and large, is actually fairly cultural, especially removing body hair on the whole body. And ideally, smart people question strong cultural beauty standards they hold, rather than endlessly voicing bias or projection. Sounds like your co-workers have more important discussions to have, and you've got more nuanced, aware people to talk with about this, eh? :) (Btw, I have fuzzy toes, too, which I've also always liked. I call them my troll-toes. :) ) I do want to make clear that I don't think it's silly to remove hair OR silly not to. Like the way someone does the hair on their head (or doesn't), this stuff is supposed to be about personal preference and identity. But I certainly do think it is...well, if not silly, unfortunate, when it's NOT about personal preference but about elective conformity and trying to dictate other people's preferences based on one's own insecurities or the way any one person wants to look, for themselves.
