[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I will be the lone dissent - my daughter started shaving armpits at age 9.  I did go through the American Girl doll book and went through the various sections on hygiene. Then I gave her shaving cream and a razor and showed her how to do it.  It was simple, painless and [b]a great improvement in her appearance[/b].  She didn't ask - bc I didn't think she knew to ask.

Every kid is different, and I knew my daughter needed to shave.[/quote]

You are seriously f***ing kidding, right? She is/was NINE. Do you know why she didn't ask you? Because she had not reason to be ashamed of her natural, normal body!!! Way to ruin that nice and early.

Please, work out your own self image issues before your daughter gets any older, you are already doing some serious damage. [/quote]

Different poster here. Are you an American woman? Do you walk around with hairy armpits and hairy legs?

It's kind of like body odor. It isn't ok in the US. I have been to many countries where people stink and women have hairy arms and legs. It's unacceptable in the US.[/quote]

Yes, I'm American. I am a professional and I am also very attractive. Sometimes I shave my legs and armpits and sometimes I do not, even in the summer! No one tells me what I should or should do and I have never felt ridiculed or ashamed of either choice. So guess what, it [b]IS[/b] acceptable, despite what you and your pearl clutching friends may think.

We are sending terribly damaging messages to our daughters when we tell them, at the age of NINE, that their bodies are not acceptable the way they are. [/quote]

Does your DH find your hairy armpits attractive? [/quote]

I'm sorry…….but are you ACTUALLY advocating that a 9 year old shave herself to make her more attractive to MEN?

Because that is what your post says. This post is about a NINE year old girl and you make it about [i]sexual attractiveness[/i]? Sicko. [/quote]

LOL No, I was trying to save the OP's DD some grief. Fine, let her be hairy. Maybe she won't hear for years. Maybe people will snicker behind her back. I personally think when I see a hairy unibrow or mustache on a little girl, it looks ugly. You can keep your unibrows, mustaches, hairy armpits and legs. I have boys. If I had a girl, I would teach her to properly groom herself.[/quote]

Oh my god, you are a DISGUSTING, AWFUL human being.[/quote]
