I was playing barbies at 10. Now we have 4th graders waxing, concealer, lip gloss, worried about what other people think of them. [/quote]

Not really.  There are plenty of emerging market countries where there would be no question that if the child had too much hair it should be removed.  [b]This is considered a basic grooming issue, like brushing one's hair. [/b] There would be genuine confusion at the suggestion that this is somehow an issue of either vanity or morality.

:shock:  a 10yr old waxing/shaving is the same as her brushing her hair.  Um, no.  Not even close.  It is for vanity and vanity only.  [/quote]

What about a 14-year-old shaving? An 18-year-old? A 28-year-old?

And who says brushing your hair isn't for vanity? You'll be perfectly fine with a bird's nest on your head, no serious health implications.[/quote]

It's all vanity.

Who the hell cares?  If you don't "approve" of removing the hair on your legs, by all means, don't.  But don't judge anyone else who does.   :roll: [/quote]

as the +1 poster - I do think it's vanity, but I personally APPROVE of vanity.  Vanity isn't BAD - just means that it's about your appearance.  Nothing wrong with wanting to have brushed hair and smooth legs.

I never thought that I'd come across anyone in my life, even on an anonymous forum, who would say something like "I approve of vanity".  I'm stunned. Anyway, if that's the way you choose to live your life, that's your right. Go ahead. In my day and age, being accused of being vain was a dire insult.

In any case, brushing one's hair is basic grooming, not vanity.[/quote]
