While men have begun to take pride in being metrosexuals, ladies are letting go and hoping to redefine sexy and be proud of their body hair!
The mere mention of hairy women irked Yudi. In his mind, the thought of women drew a pretty picture of ladies with smooth and soft skin. Yudi would be turned off at even the thought of women with facial or body hair! Never mind that he hailed from Jhajjar, a village where probably conventional methods of hair removal are a far-fetched idea and even if there was an option, the masses would abstain from availing of the offer! It astonished him as to how among his circle the topic of discussion would inevitably veer to ladies with body hair; he always quickly withdrew from such conversations before they got any grosser!
With all due respect to the preferences of men like Yudi, one can’t help but wonder: Didn’t nature intend us to have body hair? In a recent research, it has been observed that a lot of women, regardless of how people feel about them, prefer to be as natural as possible (no, we aren’t talking about birthday suits... yet!). Not only have women joined hands for the cause, there are now forums supporting women who feel awkward due to excessive facial or body hair. Campaigns such as ‘We Can Face It’ was designed specifically to support women with unwanted facial hair. Renowned comedian Shazia Mirza went ahead and featured a show called @#$% Off, I’m a Hairy Woman! on BBC. She also put her out-of-the-box thinking on display, when she had hairy women walking the ramp for her, wearing ‘sexy’ underwear made of body hair! I think we need to cut some slack here for the ladies. It is a tough job after all. Temporary hair removal techniques such as shaving, waxing, depilating, epilating, sugaring and threading are not only cumbersome and painful but are also riddled with ugly possibilities of cuts, scars, and skin pigmentation.
