Hairy Pitter and the Big 1970s Comeback

“The economy may be in recession,” writes the site for FHM, the companion to the men’s magazine, “but there’s plenty of growth out there in the UK at the moment. The bad news is that it’s all under girls’ arms.

  • Observation: her eyebrows appear to be fairly well sculpted.

    People should absolutely feel comfortable in their bodies. They should also feel comfortable changing them (through diet, exercise, grooming, adornment, and modification) if they want to. Different people will draw the lines at different places, and that's fine. As long as this is from that perspective — freedom and non-coerciveness — go for it (or rather, and I apologize in advance: "grow for it"). What I don't buy is the sometimes offered "natural is best" argument. No. Dying at 28 from a burst appendix is natural.

  • I haven't shaved my legs or underarms in over a decade. I just like having hair in those places. Hasn't been an issue with anyone I've dated, but then I do tend to attract certain types of people.
