We Have Pubic Hair for a Reason

[JackRiddler]

519. I certainly didn't say otherwise.

After talking about the recent hatred of pubic hair, I expressed my own opinion that I also don't like the proscriptions on other hair of the female body. Your misinterpretation of what I wrote looks lazy and malicious.

I'm not ignoring "historical cycles in grooming trends." You're the one who refuses to understand that "cycles" (a bad choice of word for changes over time that are not necessarily periodic) have causes. I'm describing how this particular trend came about, in the late 20th century. It had nothing to do with the entire irrelevant practices among ancient Egyptians and Greeks (i.e., some Egyptians and Greeks at some times, in some places). No one revived the "Ancient Egyptian Crotch Look."

This trend is recent and American, independent of history, and very much reinforced by a current porn industry aesthetic that, as this thread shows, many people have internalized to the point of expressing disgust at everyone who conforms to nature in this matter rather than the aesthetic.
