The more I think about this, the more pissed off I get. What the fuck? The picture is of a woman at full term. And now the norm is apparently to make sure you keep up your expensive waxing ritual until you go into labour. Welcome to the new world where even your dorky school textbook teaches you about grooming expectations.

I won’t even go into the abuse Dr Victoria Bateman, the naked Brexit woman, got for daring to display natural pubic hair. Oh the horror.

Completely agree OP. Has there been any response from Pearson? And does the same book depict male pubic hair?

Absolutely disgraceful. This is a biology textbook, FFS. Presenting modified bodies as the biological norm is ludicrous.

Bring Back Dr Alex Comfort and the fulsomley hirsuite lady and gent.

You're right, this is not on at all. I can't remember who recently appeared naked to talk about Brexit but the replies on Twitter about her hairiness were disgraceful. That is how women look but those men are so used to looking at porn and how that dictates the way a woman should be.

Really, Jax? Why? It's well-known that there is already huge pressure placed on teenage girls in terms of the appearance of their genitalia. There has been an upsurge in consultations about labiaplasty for instance. Here we have a school textbook that depicts a woman with pubic hair that looks like it comes straight out of a porn film. It's also a style that requires significant expenditure and upkeep and generally has to be done by a salon rather than at home. And what message does it send when it is featured in conjunction with pregnancy and giving birth?

How would you feel if images of the naked body featured women with breast implants for instance?

I hardly think it's an overreaction.

It’s not an over-reaction. Young boys now think pubic hair on women is ‘gross’, there is a lot of pressure for young women, and older women, to wax pubic hair. You would expect a biology book to show how it naturally looks. My DD just did GCSE biology, I don’t remember any image like this but I’ll now ask. This is fucking stupid.

Sorry this seems like a massive overreaction
