We recently told you about a female graduate student who went 18 months without shaving her armpit hair -- and boy, did you have something to say about it! One SodaHead wrote: "It just looks ugly, and I remember the last time it was discussed during the hippie era. Doesn't matter with friends, but for dating it's a total turnoff."
Some of your comments got us thinking: Is there more pressure on women to have good hygiene than there is on men? And where does that pressure come from? Emer O'Toole of Dublin, the woman who stopped shaving her armpit and leg hair, said guys are totally fine with her fuzzy pits, but women are pretty grossed out by them.
Plenty of guys stop shaving the moment they finish the work week, and it's considered perfectly acceptable. Whereas if a woman has a little peach fuzz on her legs or under her arms ... pandemonium! Women are expected to look primped and smell sweet on a daily basis, but some guys don't even wash their jeans -- ever! What do you think? Is there more pressure on women than men to have good hygiene?

+20Hell yeah! Look at the news yesterday....Hilliary Clinton photo came out...it made the news because she was not wearing makeup and her hair was not done.....could you imagine if they did this to a man?!!!! So not fair!!! Everything a woman does is based on her looks and that is not right!!!! Yet the ugliest men in the world if they have money they are studs!!! Give us women a break this is BS and men know it!
Woman keeps good hygiene for many reasons mostly if she does not keep her Female parts clean then she is prone to infections and getting sick
That is like saying Scissors are Hygiene

Just brush your teeth and have your nails done and I'm happy

It sits looking
over harbour and city
on silent haunches

God blesses America. Thank you all.
There is no positive in any degree of "Nasty" & "Disgusting"....
Women are expected to be thin, huge boobs, perfectly coiffed at all times, made up faces, hairless except on the head, firm, bright skin, straight white teeth, dainty fingers topped with long nails, smoky eyes with full thick lashes. They are expected to be perfect...but who makes this rule? The lengths that women go to trying to fulfill a symbol that they are not completely aware rules them are scary at times...but men seem to wonder why they bother. I think that women put these pressures on themselves and others of their gender and claim (subtly, of course) that men will like them better if they torture themselves. I can not name a guy that wants to be saddled with the high maintenance chick who is completely absorbed with how they look, when they could have a regular girl that is still hot as hell, but normal looking.
