[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: to all the women saying "she doesn't need to shave if she doesn't want to" -- do you shave under your arms?  If so, why not just say "I shave -- as do most women in the U.S. -- so here's a razor if you want to shave too"?  [/quote]

[b]Yes, because we were raised to be ashamed of our natural bodies[/b], and we don't want our little girls programmed at age 10 to be ashamed like we were/are. SO, if it doesn't bother her, why make it an issue? Is it HER issue, or the MOM's issue? Does SHE think it's gross or does MOM think it's gross? Or are we afraid other people will think WE are gross?[/quote]

I started shaving at 10 or 11 because it looked at felt better, plain and simple.  No shame; no pressure.  I grew up where we went to the beach all the time.  I had this friend whose mother would not let her shave her legs all the way up for some weird reason -- thought it made her look like a slut or something -- so she had this strange line above the knee and hair on her thighs.  Why are people so weird about shaving?  Most people look better without hair -- men and women alike.  I will absolutely give my daughter the option (even if she's not asking about it) when she gets underarm hair.  I think it's mean to pretend like it doesn't matter when it does.   Would you let her walk around with snot running down her face?  that's her natural body, right?[/quote]
