Fun (or maybe not so fun) fact: Women didn’t start shaving their body hair until the 40s and 50s. When all the men were off at war, Big Razor needed to find a new way to make money. And what better way to make money than to make women feel ashamed for the sin of having…body hair. The thing that we all have…because we’re, you know, primates.
And how does shaving tie into dating??? 👀
Well, sometimes you have a preference. Hair, no hair, whatever. But sometimes, men look for any way to exert control over their partner, and sometimes that extends to body hair.
In Ep 13 of @doaswesaypod, @drlizpowell and @drnerdlove read a harrowing Reddit story where a woman’s boyfriend demanded she laser all her hair, as a sacrifice for his pleasure. Talk about a huge red flag.
We know just how much misogyny plays a role in modern dating, but you don’t have to settle for subpar relationships where you’re giving and giving until there’s nothing left.
Tune into our latest episode, where we explain what went wrong in this relationship, and how to find a balance between personal preference and control (and the complicated relationship we both have with shaving).
