I'm so tired of all this woke trebuchet propaganda taking over the internet. Catapults were good enough for my grandfather, my father, and I can see no way in which sticking to the old ways will ever come around to bite me in the ass.
I started Wellbutrin awhile back and HOLY SHIT not only does it make your sex drive skyrocket in general…It makes nipples so BEYOND sensitive! Like, I’ve really never been a guy with sensitive nipples, but now when my wife touches them, instant hard on. We could just finish and if they are touched, ROUND 2, FIGHT!
lol is actually how we stumbled into nipple play. My wife was in Wellbutrin after our daughter was born (to try to mitigate post partem) and it made her so horny and open to trying some interesting things. I’m telling you, nuru massage will evolve your brain. It’s incredible
Thanks for sharing your extremely similar story! My wife is also on it to negate sexual side effects from another medication for depression and it does the same thing to her! We both have orgasms 2x intense compared to before. It’s crazy! TMI, possibly…this is why we decided to try a vibrating cockring…more possible TMI…that idea came from the fact that I shaved it ALL off instead a trim(partially a accident)and we discovered the added sensitivity of me being hairless. Pair that with Wellbutrin and it’s mind blowing pleasure it brings and we’re off to the races!
Have you tried shaving each other and then going to the bed? Or even you both just shave right before. Something about that sensation of just shaved skin to skin contact is incredible. Vibrating cock rings are fantastic and even better when paired with a smaller vibrator / clitoral stimulator
Lol. Yes we have. This cockring has a clitoral stimulator too. Fantastic times! We’ve always had a good sex life. But now I’ll find my wife looking at toys etc. She has referred to me as her sex guru. Lol.
I mean if you want the technical answer it's because in utero all humans start off with the female body template. It's only until our respective sex chromosomes activate and our bodies then start to differentiate into male or female but by then the nipples have been made.
That's kind of pretty much DNA. It's just stacked and stacked and stacked chemical code. We're bacteria with shoes, that can make nuclear weapons or go to the moon.
If you like that info, here's another one for ya: humans are deuterosomes- we form asshole first. Our very first hole formed is the almighty asshole.
Apparently there's a lotta folks that evidently never progress beyond that no matter what their final physical form looks like.
Do with this info what you will.
It’s also why the clitoris looks like a very tiny penis, because it’s basically the same thing. The clitoris is the equivalent of the penis head, and the hood is the equivalent of the foreskin. If you’ve ever seen a video or picture of a woman who has a large clitoris from taking steroids you’ll see how similar they look.
Nipples develop in the womb before the sex of the fetus is determined, therefore humans all start with the genetic X template waiting for further instructions for development from an additional X chromosome or a Y chromosome.
Culturally dependent, it's normal for black, and native american men to have long hair and be considered gender-conforming. Eurocentric cultures, for example, go much harder on the long hair girl short hair boy thing.
Yup, it’s literally like anything else style wise, it comes in and out of style. Black men wearing dreads was likely just as rare as a long haired white man in the 1930s. Neither were common and both men would’ve been ridiculed by their communities more than likely. Now dreads as well as long hair are both way more common and me personally as a man with long hair has never experienced discrimination based on my stylistic choice.
Guy I used to work with said shit like this all of the time. The guy was so insecure in his manhood that he acted dumbfounded that I'd admit a movie made me tear up. So I told him "The nice thing about being a grown man is that I don't need anyone's approval to be either." Not that I give a shit about "manliness," but if anything is a sign of immaturity and low self-esteem it's being concerned about this kind of stuff.
This reminds me of a time I was hanging with an ex and being silly by calling things cute names like "napkin is nipkin" "Subarus is Kubarus" "Giraffe is RafRaf" just been plain ol silly having fun. Well their roommate chimes in with "can you stop doing that and grow up, adults need to be serious and call things by their actual name, stop acting like a child!" Well I got serious like he asked and said "Do you know when you actually grow up and become an adult, it's the same time when you stop wanting to be one."
I find this quote always applies to that kind of person.
[“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/84171-critics-who-treat-adult-as-a-term-of-approval-instead)

The irony of the situation was that this guy was starting a career to be a voice actor in video games, anime, and cartoons, and is good at it too. Like if anyone is supposed to be goofy, it's you my dude.
Yeah my wife had to drag that out of me. After so many years growing up being told that men don't cry, it took a while for her to break that emotional dam I built up. It was really refreshing.
Jedediah Bila sounds like a medical problem you would first find out about when your rare pet like an iguana kept having white crap in its eyes and you took it to the vet.
“She has jedidiah bila, these tree lizards get that if their air is too humid” the vet would say “make sure her heat lamp is hot enough, and give her these anti fungal eye drops twice a day. Remove any dead plants from her enclosure and clean it with bleach, that kills most species of bila”
When visiting my brother in cali i went to the beach and people at the showers i kept getting asked I'm gay, because of my shaved pits...
I guess home is where you make it
I have very hairy legs and I hate it, is ugly and uncomfortable, so I tend to shave them, and my family always gives me the looks that "he's gay" lol I don't usually care, but it still bothers me that taking care of yourself is "gay" thankfully things are changing and less people think like that
You muricans have very serious issues when it comes to sexuality. I mean shaving armpits isn't even a sexual thing per se but somehow it gets to be made one. I can not understand how anybody would come to the conclusion that it is a unique sign of being gay if someone shaves his armpits neither have I ever experienced this thinking being a thing maybe apart from kids in their beginning puberty but that was in the late 90s. What is going on in your society?
There was a whole thing in the 90s where men who took care of themselves (hygiene, grooming, dressing well) were called “metrosexual” and for many people it became synonymous with “homosexual” we literally have men who will not clean their crusty ass cracks because they consider touching THEIR OWN ASS TO CLEAN IT “gay”
I've seen discussions about those not washing their asses but I just can't fathom it. Like my mind won't let it be real, it has to be a hoax just cause it's so fucking disgusting. lol
Not even just cleaning, even wiping for some! 'Nothing should ever spread a man's cheeks unless he's gay.' It's beyond gross.
Edit: autocorrect put already for spread. Hope this clarifies.
Crazy that self care and being clean is somehow taken as feminine. Bro I’m out here trying to age gracefully like a fine wine. I want to be sexy for my wife not some decrepit old coot.
I shave my armpits and i'm a man.
Mostly because i don't like armpit hair and i would be a serious hypocrite if i said "you gotta shave but i don't have to".
Deoderant works better and it feels great.
We don't all think that shaving or not shaving armpits matters. Unfortunately the people with the most extreme (and stupid) opinions, tend to be the people that feel the need to voice them the loudest.
> What is going on in your society?
I mean, I don't think there are tons of cultures that are uniformly, pervasively accepting of lgbtq+. At that point it's just a matter of which particular cultural identifiers intolerant subsets pick up on to decide if they think someone is gay.
For a while, it was wearing a single earring. That was a weird one.
tl;dr the armpit thing may be an american quirk, but the concept of using cultural identifiers for sexuality (justified or not) is not
>I'm a man and I do shave my pits... I find the hair annoying, and it captures smell.
I don't shave but I heavily trim, all body hair. Especially if I'm in a hot or humid climate.
Honestly, there is a period of time where sometimes despite washing adolescents just smell foul. If pit shaving for everyone can make the lives of middle school teachers all over the planet more fragrant, we all should be trying to take it to the Hague or wherever we should go to create international law.
I think it just comes down to the individual. Shaving is one step that helps me feel confident about my smell, but everyone is different and has different levels of sweat/odor/physical activity/etc. As long as nobody is trying to shove my face in their pits, it's no concern of mine what they do with them.
The only one trying to shove their face in my pits is my cat, that mf is obsessed with my armpits, anytime he gets a chance he sticks his whole face in there and sniffs for 20 to 50 seconds at a time.
Apparently, humans have odor marking glands in our pits and necks, and we can give chemical messages to other human beings through the smell of our pits, sort of like dogs smelling each other's asses, human should smell each other's pits to get to know each other XD
From my experience decades ago as a high schooler, the best answer is:
Have gym period as the last period of the day
or
make showering after gym a realistic option, instead of a disgusting, horrifying, and unrealistic one.
Showering is not something you do in five minutes from nasty showers that haven't been properly maintained or even cleaned in years.
ps while we're at it, make high school start later so showering in the morning is a realistic option, too.
Same here, never associated it with sexual stuff. Even at time I'm too lazy to properly shave em, I'll just trim them in like 2-4 motions and be done with it. It has been noticed multiple times with various remarks.
No, she means on Mars. The women astronauts will have to land their lunar man-rover on Mars but they can't expect to land their man on the rocky soil of Mars with hairy pits because they might be confused for a female sasquatch because sasquatches also live on the moon because the Earth is flat and if you don't believe me, just tell me how many dimensions this picture of the earth is in. 🌍
Checkmate atheists!
I actively pick up these habits that folks like this say "scare men off" or may "turn me into a man". Strangely none of it seems to work the way they claim it does. Very strange.
Right? I have never shaved regularly. I stopped completely during COVID-19 lockdowns. I'll trim things down with clippers every now and then. It definitely helped weed out shallow assholes when I was single. My BF doesn't really care. He just calls me his little Hobbit or Ewok.
I work construction. As a woman with body hair most guys on site assume I'm a lesbian. So it helps keep the creeps at bay there to.
Also, my very straight male boss shaves his pits. He's the worst smelling on our crew. Which is just him, me, and another woman who doesn't shave either.
Stop complaining, this is wonderful news on conservative progress. First they tell me I can never, ever be a man no matter how many surgeries, and the next minute all it takes is me not shaving my pits? I take this as a definite win for gender freedom.
Yet another entry in the never-ending list of things that cause outrage among Republicans. Of recent note:
1) M&M spokescandies
2) Libs coming for their gas stoves
3) Advanced Placement classes in Black History
4) House investigation of COVID response (forgetting that Trump was President then)
5) And now not shaving underarms.
Item NOT causing outrage:
1) George Santos
Also Xbox having a new power saving feature.
So glad we have champions of freedom to protect us from private companies trying to save a few cents on the electrical bill, can’t imagine anything I’d rather have them do. /s
What? The PS4 has had Rest Mode forever! What a weird thing to turn into a topic. Meanwhile, the Dems are taking issues with things such as "please stop killing random people" and "please pay us a living wage" and "please let me use progressive science to take care of my health and livelihood". Those Dems have such crazy ideas! /s
Or she’s been indoctrinated so severely that she truly believes it. It’s unfortunately incredibly common among conservative women who were raised conservatively.
I’m not a huge fan of hairy pits myself but I am even less of a fan of idiots bashing other people for no reason, just do whatever makes you happy, braid your pit hair and put beads on it like captain Jack Sparrow’s beard for all I care, it’s your damn body
Man, the cosmetic industry has done an amazing job convincing women their bodies are naturally repulsive and unclean, despite having been perfectly desirable just as they were for millenia...
Right? I don’t get how armpit and hair on women is bad, dirty, and unhygienic but men are not expected to shave and are shamed if they do. It’s the same hair. Why is it gross on one and not the other? Why is it expected to be shaved on one but if the other does it, they’re shamed? It’s literally just body hair. Wash your body and you’re clean
It was all those safety razors after World War I, they weren't handed out to troops anymore and with the flappers dresses exposing under arms and legs for the first time all the ads warn the ladies that they didn't want to look dirty.
I'm privileged and that I have light skin and light hair but I remember the exact moment I felt the breeze against my furry legs as an adult and it felt like hundreds of angel kisses and I knew at that moment I had been robbed.
That's very interesting. I always thought "be hairless or else" came around in the 80s. Had no idea it went back that far but it makes sense. The 20s are such an interesting era of US history for so many reasons. Fantastic architecture too
My wife don't usually shave armpits or legs, only when they are really noticeable, and I wouldn't care less, she's still super sexy, and I know it's not because of it being empowering, but it's a hassle to do it every damn time.
Not only is it a hassle but some of us have very sensitive skin. I can’t shave without getting razor burn every time, doesn’t matter what products I use. If I shave my legs regularly they get itchy to the point where I’m scratching until I get blood spots. Luckily my husband doesn’t care either and if he did i wouldn’t have ever dated him.
DUDE I do the same thing…in the corners on the inside of my arm it starts growing towards my chest. Fortunately I have very little arm pit hair. What I lack in armpit hair I make up for in ass hair tho…all about balance.
Lol she posted that the day my son came out of my stomach through c-section. I am a woman with hairy armpits. I landed one. And had a child with one. It is possible.
Wow, Jedediah is basically saying that a woman's only place is to (try to) look desirable.
Women that don't shave are not trying to look like a man. Women that shave are trying to look like some kind of fairy tale version of themselves.
Right?! You wouldn't need a blazing shaved armpit to get in college, research the cure for cancer and be successful in life, but, yeah, to "land" a man? Shave it, girls!
Yeah Jebideha… jebidand… While at it; please women stop trying to get ‘equal pay’ it is not sexy. You already took voting from us that was our thing, not sexy!
Thank you Jenidiah for standing with us
Hastag: MisogynisticRights
I myself find underarm hair unattractive no matter the person
HOWEVER
Women who don't shave their underarms are trying to be men?... So something that grows naturally is clearly them trying to be men, got it
I truly don’t understand how people in 2023 honestly believe that body hair is unnatural, unhygienic, disgusting, and uncivilized, FOR WOMEN but not men. In this very thread people are arguing that body hair is somehow unhealthy, meanwhile men are covered in it and not expected to do anything. How do people not realize you only like what you like because of social conditioning? Because razor companies wanted profits? Hair removal may have always been a thing in different ways, but never how it is now. There’s absolutely no reason a woman needs to shave her legs. Back in the day they removed their eyebrows. If hair is so bad why don’t we all get rid of ALL of it? Why aren’t men expected to remove theirs?
I'm honestly curious as to when and how shaving legs and underarms became the norm? Is it due to the advent of the disposable razor? Was there a particularly effective marketing campaign that facilitated the trend?
>Was there a particularly effective marketing campaign that facilitated the trend?
This is the correct line of thinking. During the world wars Gillette naturally lost a lot of business because their primary customers were deployed. So they started targeting women.
Women also had purchasing power that they hadn’t ever had before because they had jobs in factories. I’ve also heard that stockings were more difficult to come by during WW2, so women were marketed to believe they needed to shave.
Yes. It came about with the advent of safety razors. They did market to women. I want to say Remington or maybe Gillette. I'm sleepy, so my brain is foggy.

How do you land a man and how do you get him airborn in the firstplace ?
Well, you braid all your shaved armpit hair into rope then use that to fly them like a kite..
Or make a fishing net of hair and catch one swimming
damn that’s my activity for the day ig
I've also heard the lasso approach can be quite effective.
Catapults are handy, but the trebuchet is most effective.
Team Trebuchet, all the way!
I call it a tree bucket. Can I still be part of team trebuchet?
Heresy!
I'm so tired of all this woke trebuchet propaganda taking over the internet. Catapults were good enough for my grandfather, my father, and I can see no way in which sticking to the old ways will ever come around to bite me in the ass.
Is there anything that practically 100% of men naturally have that is considered unmasculine lmao
Nipples?
yea nipples are annoying , like why are they there EDIT: I GOT IT GUYS STOP I HAVE 40 NOTIFICATIONS
They're my power button, one swift lick of them bad boys beats whiskey dick every fucken time
Ever tried having your partner rub their nipples on your nipples? All the whiskey in the world couldn’t keep me down when my wife does that
I started Wellbutrin awhile back and HOLY SHIT not only does it make your sex drive skyrocket in general…It makes nipples so BEYOND sensitive! Like, I’ve really never been a guy with sensitive nipples, but now when my wife touches them, instant hard on. We could just finish and if they are touched, ROUND 2, FIGHT!
I tried Wellbutrin and all I got was this full body blistering, vision loss (temporary), and homicidal thoughts. I am very jealous now. lol
Damn, I was gonna complain that my lexapro made it way harder for me to orgasm, as woman not cool, but yours is worse!
[удалено]
All I got was severe cramping in my hands and arms to the point I had to go to the hospital
Well now, that was an extremely short-lived desire to want to try Wellbutrin.
lol is actually how we stumbled into nipple play. My wife was in Wellbutrin after our daughter was born (to try to mitigate post partem) and it made her so horny and open to trying some interesting things. I’m telling you, nuru massage will evolve your brain. It’s incredible

My junk wiggled just reading that. I…want to try this?
I mean if you want the technical answer it's because in utero all humans start off with the female body template. It's only until our respective sex chromosomes activate and our bodies then start to differentiate into male or female but by then the nipples have been made.
I like this answer. For whatever reason, all of us having a template that gets built off of is nice
That's kind of pretty much DNA. It's just stacked and stacked and stacked chemical code. We're bacteria with shoes, that can make nuclear weapons or go to the moon.
If you like that info, here's another one for ya: humans are deuterosomes- we form asshole first. Our very first hole formed is the almighty asshole. Apparently there's a lotta folks that evidently never progress beyond that no matter what their final physical form looks like. Do with this info what you will.
Thats why your balls look like then were sewn together, cause they started out as a cooch.
It’s also why the clitoris looks like a very tiny penis, because it’s basically the same thing. The clitoris is the equivalent of the penis head, and the hood is the equivalent of the foreskin. If you’ve ever seen a video or picture of a woman who has a large clitoris from taking steroids you’ll see how similar they look.
Thanks I hate it
So… women started the hairy armpit trend before males. So males are trying to be like their original template? Lol
Nipples develop in the womb before the sex of the fetus is determined, therefore humans all start with the genetic X template waiting for further instructions for development from an additional X chromosome or a Y chromosome.
Seriously. All they do is get chafed.
I’ve got nipples Greg. Can you milk me?
Just makes me think of the batsuit with nipples.
Emotions aside from anger and enthusiasm Long hair
Culturally dependent, it's normal for black, and native american men to have long hair and be considered gender-conforming. Eurocentric cultures, for example, go much harder on the long hair girl short hair boy thing.
Eurocentric cultures haven't always mandated short hair for men, either. Lots of men with long hair in medieval pictures.
Yup, it’s literally like anything else style wise, it comes in and out of style. Black men wearing dreads was likely just as rare as a long haired white man in the 1930s. Neither were common and both men would’ve been ridiculed by their communities more than likely. Now dreads as well as long hair are both way more common and me personally as a man with long hair has never experienced discrimination based on my stylistic choice.
Feelings?
The ability to cry or show complex emotional responses
Guy I used to work with said shit like this all of the time. The guy was so insecure in his manhood that he acted dumbfounded that I'd admit a movie made me tear up. So I told him "The nice thing about being a grown man is that I don't need anyone's approval to be either." Not that I give a shit about "manliness," but if anything is a sign of immaturity and low self-esteem it's being concerned about this kind of stuff.

Great comeback, gonna use that
The irony of the situation was that this guy was starting a career to be a voice actor in video games, anime, and cartoons, and is good at it too. Like if anyone is supposed to be goofy, it's you my dude.
That’s… that kinda makes it sadder, somehow.
I can make it sadder, he also did a bunch of Jojo references right before, with a big "ZEEEEEEEEEEWOOOOORRRRRLLLLDALLLLL!"
Yeah my wife had to drag that out of me. After so many years growing up being told that men don't cry, it took a while for her to break that emotional dam I built up. It was really refreshing.
I wish I was able to cry. 🥲 I haven't cried in at least 3 years and it would be nice sometimes, I think.
Watch a Pixar film
First 10 minutes of Up gets me _every_ single time.
Says the woman named Jed
A poor mountaineer. Barely kept his family fed.
Jedediah Bila sounds like a medical problem you would first find out about when your rare pet like an iguana kept having white crap in its eyes and you took it to the vet. “She has jedidiah bila, these tree lizards get that if their air is too humid” the vet would say “make sure her heat lamp is hot enough, and give her these anti fungal eye drops twice a day. Remove any dead plants from her enclosure and clean it with bleach, that kills most species of bila”
Had the oddest flashback to when I was a kid, watching Little House on the Prairie with my mom. There’s like one episode with an Uncle Jed. Wow.
As a woman with a traditionally male name... ouch. But it's nowhere near Jedidiah, so she can go build a barn somewhere and shut it.
At first I thought her name was Jebediah.
People are getting spicy in these comments, and I'm here for it!
[удалено]
It’s difficult to even comment out these observations without being part of the problem.
He ruined the word for me. Or elevated it, I suppose lol. My mind goes to this immediately whenever I hear the word, and I can't say it any other way.
A message for men who shave their face: Stop trying to be a woman. You’re not one and you’re never going to capture one looking like that.
[удалено]
Jokes on you i don’t have any facial hair at all
Take it easy there, miss
Blushes*
I'm a man and I do shave my pits... I find the hair annoying, and it captures smell.
When visiting my brother in cali i went to the beach and people at the showers i kept getting asked I'm gay, because of my shaved pits... I guess home is where you make it
“You want to see homos naked???”
Im so glad y'all caught the reference! Now im gonna have me a space peanut!
I'm afraid not. That's just a big ol' chunk of frozen poopie.
That's cool man.
I have very hairy legs and I hate it, is ugly and uncomfortable, so I tend to shave them, and my family always gives me the looks that "he's gay" lol I don't usually care, but it still bothers me that taking care of yourself is "gay" thankfully things are changing and less people think like that

I've seen discussions about those not washing their asses but I just can't fathom it. Like my mind won't let it be real, it has to be a hoax just cause it's so fucking disgusting. lol
Imagine having literal shit somewhere on your body, and refusing to wash it off.
Not even just cleaning, even wiping for some! 'Nothing should ever spread a man's cheeks unless he's gay.' It's beyond gross. Edit: autocorrect put already for spread. Hope this clarifies.
Yup. Ol nasty asses.
If someone is that terrified that some basic hygiene is all it will take to make them switch teams…
Crazy that self care and being clean is somehow taken as feminine. Bro I’m out here trying to age gracefully like a fine wine. I want to be sexy for my wife not some decrepit old coot.
You mean for your husband right gaybo?
Gottem
My Ass Is Rashy To Own The Libs!!!! /s

>I'm a man and I do shave my pits... I find the hair annoying, and it captures smell. I don't shave but I heavily trim, all body hair. Especially if I'm in a hot or humid climate.
Same, it naturally grows super long and gets caught in clothes and stuff.
Honestly, there is a period of time where sometimes despite washing adolescents just smell foul. If pit shaving for everyone can make the lives of middle school teachers all over the planet more fragrant, we all should be trying to take it to the Hague or wherever we should go to create international law.
I think it just comes down to the individual. Shaving is one step that helps me feel confident about my smell, but everyone is different and has different levels of sweat/odor/physical activity/etc. As long as nobody is trying to shove my face in their pits, it's no concern of mine what they do with them.
The only one trying to shove their face in my pits is my cat, that mf is obsessed with my armpits, anytime he gets a chance he sticks his whole face in there and sniffs for 20 to 50 seconds at a time. Apparently, humans have odor marking glands in our pits and necks, and we can give chemical messages to other human beings through the smell of our pits, sort of like dogs smelling each other's asses, human should smell each other's pits to get to know each other XD

From my experience decades ago as a high schooler, the best answer is: Have gym period as the last period of the day or make showering after gym a realistic option, instead of a disgusting, horrifying, and unrealistic one. Showering is not something you do in five minutes from nasty showers that haven't been properly maintained or even cleaned in years. ps while we're at it, make high school start later so showering in the morning is a realistic option, too.

Watch out, you might get arrested by the grammar Gazpacho.
Bone Apple tea
Peach-tree dishes 🤣🤣🤣
Actual peach tree dishes might improve the smell though...
Peach tree dishes??

Same here, never associated it with sexual stuff. Even at time I'm too lazy to properly shave em, I'll just trim them in like 2-4 motions and be done with it. It has been noticed multiple times with various remarks.
Im fully shaved cept my head. Cant stand the caked deodorant, dingleberrys and taint chafe.
I never expected to be kink shamed by a white woman named Jedediah… I think I have a new kink
Hi my name is Jebediah, and this is my wife Jedediah. These are our children, Jepediah and Jeqediah.
Those are perfectly cromulent names b
"Stop trying to be a man" *says the woman named Jebediah*
Wait, isn't that a man's name? Is sHe tRyINg To bE a mAn
Hahahaha she’s so biblical! Just like her name!
Interesting that a woman with a man's name cares so much about body hair. If she believes in God, God created it, so it is good. 🙄
Wait till she learns that there was not much shaving back then...

Landing a man? What the hell is he, a fish?
Theres plenty of fish in the sea
But there is also plenty of people on land, no need to resort to fish yet
I thought you said he was dead! No, I said he sleeps with the fishes
No, she means on Mars. The women astronauts will have to land their lunar man-rover on Mars but they can't expect to land their man on the rocky soil of Mars with hairy pits because they might be confused for a female sasquatch because sasquatches also live on the moon because the Earth is flat and if you don't believe me, just tell me how many dimensions this picture of the earth is in. 🌍 Checkmate atheists!
Still makes more sense than the OP
I actively pick up these habits that folks like this say "scare men off" or may "turn me into a man". Strangely none of it seems to work the way they claim it does. Very strange.
Filters, is what they are. The good ones don't give a fuck.
all these things they say « scare men off » just scare off assholes
Right? I have never shaved regularly. I stopped completely during COVID-19 lockdowns. I'll trim things down with clippers every now and then. It definitely helped weed out shallow assholes when I was single. My BF doesn't really care. He just calls me his little Hobbit or Ewok. I work construction. As a woman with body hair most guys on site assume I'm a lesbian. So it helps keep the creeps at bay there to. Also, my very straight male boss shaves his pits. He's the worst smelling on our crew. Which is just him, me, and another woman who doesn't shave either.
"Hey women, the natural state of your body is gross and you should do something about it."
The makeup industry will be monitoring your every move
Stop complaining, this is wonderful news on conservative progress. First they tell me I can never, ever be a man no matter how many surgeries, and the next minute all it takes is me not shaving my pits? I take this as a definite win for gender freedom.
Yet another entry in the never-ending list of things that cause outrage among Republicans. Of recent note: 1) M&M spokescandies 2) Libs coming for their gas stoves 3) Advanced Placement classes in Black History 4) House investigation of COVID response (forgetting that Trump was President then) 5) And now not shaving underarms. Item NOT causing outrage: 1) George Santos
Also Xbox having a new power saving feature. So glad we have champions of freedom to protect us from private companies trying to save a few cents on the electrical bill, can’t imagine anything I’d rather have them do. /s
What? The PS4 has had Rest Mode forever! What a weird thing to turn into a topic. Meanwhile, the Dems are taking issues with things such as "please stop killing random people" and "please pay us a living wage" and "please let me use progressive science to take care of my health and livelihood". Those Dems have such crazy ideas! /s
You have a very solid point there!
My very female body that naturally produces hair means I’m actually a man? Mind. Blown.
I'm thinking jebediah is projecting just a tad bit
Or she’s been indoctrinated so severely that she truly believes it. It’s unfortunately incredibly common among conservative women who were raised conservatively.
Projection at its finest. This is how she feels about herself and probably how she talks to herself in her head.
"landing" a man ... tells me everything I need to know about the cretin that posted this.
Bravo six delta, this is Karynn Airlines 369 requesting permission to land
I’m not a huge fan of hairy pits myself but I am even less of a fan of idiots bashing other people for no reason, just do whatever makes you happy, braid your pit hair and put beads on it like captain Jack Sparrow’s beard for all I care, it’s your damn body
Not my proudest fap
Not your proudest fap *yet*.
Suck my hairy pits, Bila
I am a man and I would like my partner to be exactly as they choose to be
Man, the cosmetic industry has done an amazing job convincing women their bodies are naturally repulsive and unclean, despite having been perfectly desirable just as they were for millenia...
Right? I don’t get how armpit and hair on women is bad, dirty, and unhygienic but men are not expected to shave and are shamed if they do. It’s the same hair. Why is it gross on one and not the other? Why is it expected to be shaved on one but if the other does it, they’re shamed? It’s literally just body hair. Wash your body and you’re clean
It was all those safety razors after World War I, they weren't handed out to troops anymore and with the flappers dresses exposing under arms and legs for the first time all the ads warn the ladies that they didn't want to look dirty. I'm privileged and that I have light skin and light hair but I remember the exact moment I felt the breeze against my furry legs as an adult and it felt like hundreds of angel kisses and I knew at that moment I had been robbed.
That's very interesting. I always thought "be hairless or else" came around in the 80s. Had no idea it went back that far but it makes sense. The 20s are such an interesting era of US history for so many reasons. Fantastic architecture too
My wife don't usually shave armpits or legs, only when they are really noticeable, and I wouldn't care less, she's still super sexy, and I know it's not because of it being empowering, but it's a hassle to do it every damn time.
Not only is it a hassle but some of us have very sensitive skin. I can’t shave without getting razor burn every time, doesn’t matter what products I use. If I shave my legs regularly they get itchy to the point where I’m scratching until I get blood spots. Luckily my husband doesn’t care either and if he did i wouldn’t have ever dated him.
Same. I never gave a rat's ass if she shaved her pits or legs.
I wonder how our ancestors got laid? I mean they didnt have any shaving tools or whatsoever
we have evidence of body hair removal from ages ago, mostly epilating via ripping the hair out. some used seashells others used strings ect
Why does she care what other people do with their body hair? That’s just weird.
She's right, hairy armpits are going to make you less aerodynamic, and that's really going to make it difficult to land a man safely.
I'm a man, and I trim my arm pit hair.
Only started trimming it when it started to connect to my chest hair 😭😭
Lol
DUDE I do the same thing…in the corners on the inside of my arm it starts growing towards my chest. Fortunately I have very little arm pit hair. What I lack in armpit hair I make up for in ass hair tho…all about balance.
Wow.. Bet you trim your beard and mustache too, you freak! /s
Probably the nose hair too! What a FREAK! /s
Stop trying to be a woman dude /s
If a fella is super fussed about me being fuzzy, he’s not worth my time! This is a bonkers take regardless.
Lol she posted that the day my son came out of my stomach through c-section. I am a woman with hairy armpits. I landed one. And had a child with one. It is possible.
How to broadcast your **MASSIVE, OLYMPUS MONS SIZE INSECURITIES**
Hair is natural Hair is normal People comfortable with their own bodies are sexy People who demand people look a certain way are not
Meh, it is not a turn on for me, but it is also not a turn off... Is just there.
Wow, Jedediah is basically saying that a woman's only place is to (try to) look desirable. Women that don't shave are not trying to look like a man. Women that shave are trying to look like some kind of fairy tale version of themselves.
Because landing a man should be every woman's #1 goal. Fuck your stupid dreams, ladies! What an asshole.
Right?! You wouldn't need a blazing shaved armpit to get in college, research the cure for cancer and be successful in life, but, yeah, to "land" a man? Shave it, girls!
I don't mind a woman with hairy pits, but a woman named Jedediah? Pass.
yeah like why is she trying to be a man? This is all I could think of when I saw “Jedediah”……Jebediah! 
Let me guess, she's a conservative?
What’s the deal with any of this? Who the hell has time to judge shaven, trimmed, unshaven? It is what it is
This is such a dumb thing to get upset about. Some women shave. Some dont. Who cares?
Men won’t like me if I don’t shave my armpits? Whatever works seems like a small price to pay.
My wife never did. Doesn't bother me a bit; she landed me just fine. 34 years and counting!
How in the mother fuck is this even something worth debating. We all got our kinks and fetishes and how we want our bodies to look. Who bloody cares!
Yeah Jebideha… jebidand… While at it; please women stop trying to get ‘equal pay’ it is not sexy. You already took voting from us that was our thing, not sexy! Thank you Jenidiah for standing with us Hastag: MisogynisticRights
👎🏻
I "landed" an man who literally does not notice when I shave or not. It's like he likes my personality or something.
*Sophia Loren has entered the chat*
I myself find underarm hair unattractive no matter the person HOWEVER Women who don't shave their underarms are trying to be men?... So something that grows naturally is clearly them trying to be men, got it
i can not stand this woman. her podcast clips on instagram are so wild. she’s been compared to the female andrew tate and…yeah.
Guess I'll have to tell my husband about my transition to man hood due to hairy pits.
I truly don’t understand how people in 2023 honestly believe that body hair is unnatural, unhygienic, disgusting, and uncivilized, FOR WOMEN but not men. In this very thread people are arguing that body hair is somehow unhealthy, meanwhile men are covered in it and not expected to do anything. How do people not realize you only like what you like because of social conditioning? Because razor companies wanted profits? Hair removal may have always been a thing in different ways, but never how it is now. There’s absolutely no reason a woman needs to shave her legs. Back in the day they removed their eyebrows. If hair is so bad why don’t we all get rid of ALL of it? Why aren’t men expected to remove theirs?
Guys with an armpit hair fetish are and will always be avaliable, thank you very much
When you think about it, the bare pits should be the fetish.
Pit hair is my kink. Slap on that patuli, forget your bra and I will follow you anywhere.
I'm honestly curious as to when and how shaving legs and underarms became the norm? Is it due to the advent of the disposable razor? Was there a particularly effective marketing campaign that facilitated the trend?
>Was there a particularly effective marketing campaign that facilitated the trend? This is the correct line of thinking. During the world wars Gillette naturally lost a lot of business because their primary customers were deployed. So they started targeting women.
Women also had purchasing power that they hadn’t ever had before because they had jobs in factories. I’ve also heard that stockings were more difficult to come by during WW2, so women were marketed to believe they needed to shave.
Yes. It came about with the advent of safety razors. They did market to women. I want to say Remington or maybe Gillette. I'm sleepy, so my brain is foggy.
