personal aesthetics?

A followup, based on the predominance of people saying they remove hair solely based on "personal aesthetics" in my hair poll.

See, I actually think that's a useful dialog with your imaginary self, there. Cause then you can choose to either accept that you have a preference of indeterminate origin that's in line with what others expect of women - or you can try to retrain yourself to a preference that doesn't enforce the shaving norm for other women/girls. It depends on how much fight you want to fight. I'd rather be aware of that than blissfully ignorant of the effect of my choices.

That's really well said.

I agree. I just don't like getting mired in "which choice do I make? they all seem to suck!"
