Would you dare NOT get rid of your facial hair?

Typing this as I sit in the bathroom bleaching my tache!
My eyes ran over the packet and read 'go confidently with (brand name) Creme Bleach!' and it for some reason brought out all my rage.
Why do I feel like I have to alter something about my appearance to be confident? I'm generally all about 'natural', and think I don't let society dictate how I should look; wear makeup once in a blue moon, always have an easy to do, natural hairstyle/undyed etc and I think I look pretty good most of the time! But when it comes to body hair.. nope can't do it!!
I am in my 20s... and can remember at age 12 being followed home by a boy mocking me for my moustache Sad

Would you/do you not get rid of your body hair?
What would you think if you saw an otherwise attractive (i hope!) young woman with some fairly obvious upper lip hair?
I'm literally cringing typing that. I don't know why I'm so ashamed of it...

I've never done my upper lip. I darent.
Don't wear make up either.
I'm 47 but I'm told I look 10 yrs younger.
Now if we're talking stray hairs on the chin that aren't there in the morning but are four ft long by teatime......then I'm your woman😆

I'm 59 pluck hairs on my chin and upper lip but at my age I think most women need to do something. I've seen some women who don't and have fairly obvious moustaches at 50 feet away thats entirely up to them but I don't want to be that woman.
