I was addressing cultural issues about hairy people of both genders, not really trying to address sexism.

The whole reason for starting this thread came about after I read about a group of nudists who say they are Nuder than Nude. They are Barer than Bare.

They are the <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/wnnnu/smoothyda ... oothies</a>. (Do not click this link if viewing nudity is illegal in your area or if you are at all offended by nudity, wholesome family-oriented nude recreation, nude people of ALL ages, bodypainting, hairless bodies, men in sombrero's with medieval maces, etc. )

They remove all the hair from their bodies (not their heads). At SmoothyDays (I'm not making this up) they offer to laser off your hair if you have any to promote the "ideal of smooth hairless bodies."

I just thought it would be considered extremely rude to offer skin lightening treatments to non-whites. Thus, a thread was born!

I've forgotten about this thread. I'm currently thinking about what happens when you take highly flammable <a href="http://stuweb.ee.mtu.edu/~swbuetow/dorm ... .htm">hand sanitizer (stupid people doing idiotic stuff)</a> and combine it with <a href="http://van.hep.uiuc.edu/van/qa/section/ ... -neutonian fluids</a>. The possibility of high projectile flaming spheres which shatter on impact and then stick to and drip over objects while burning with a nearly invisible flame... Darn my overactive imagination.

Oh. Yes. Those people are just insane.

Yeah, Okie, that's a bit off the deep end to me.

Yah, really . . . men in sombreros? With maces, no less? What are they thinking?!

As a fairly hairy individual, I can tell you that being hairy sucks majorly.

It's always itchy and stuff. And a lot of times in places where there's a lot of movement, hairs will get intertwined and tug on each other.

I started shaving my armpits. And it was heavenly compared to before...

Of course, a smooth body would make bodypainting easier.

And who doesn't love <a href="http://ils2.cti.ac.at/video/Promo1_340. ... ainting</a>?

Or Tattooing. There are some people who tattoo on stylized ink designs in place of eyebrows or pubic hair. And there was that one guy who was so proud of his tattoos that he left a clause in his will that insured that his body would be skinned, and his skin preserved, and his skin would be exhibited at Biker events.

The human body is just neat.

Amen to that.

I really /can/ agree with Okie on something! I feel happy now.

What has been said could've been said about body fat, baldness, idiocy and whatever stigma have you.

I thank Okie, tho, for a brilliant discussion. I enjoyed reading about it.

Being that I was a large, annoying part of it, I say you're welcome.
