Women, body hair, and art

[ArabellaScott]

Thought this was an interesting article on the subject:

Interesting but completely ignores the impact of porn and men's pressures on women to have a certain look.

Yes, fair point. There is a school of thought that places high art above all that sort of thing, but I think you might be right that it has an affect.

Really interesting thank you.

The confloptions that female body hair causes are so interesting.

confloptions is a great word!

But yes, it does seem to be quite a febrile area, so to speak.

Interesting article.

I have to say it's what I liked about the Mary Woolstencraft statue in London.

I know lots of women wanted a statue of her, and took against this one, but the artist saw this as an every woman and I was just well chuffed to see a woman with pubes!

It looks like a very bad case of scrofula, not hair.
