> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > It’s called formatting your links the stupidest way possible. Do it right or not at all. Agreed. That was a really annoying way to have to try and edit while playing “guess where the near invisible spaces are” just to see a fairly standard porn pic. > [@April\_R](#): > > slutty needs to shave. I doubt the original has her as “natural” down there as this faked version. If I know I am going to get pictures taken, I am going to gussy up the lady parts a bit. Slut shaming aside, there’s no need for her to have shaved. Pubic hair is natural and inoffensive, has a job to do, and removing it [does more damage than good](http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/07/pubic-hair-has-job-stop-shaving). (obligatory feminist rant - how come it’s acceptable for men to have pubes, but suddenly it’s “dirty and obscene” on a grown woman? Damned increasing infantilisation of women in our culture, grrr) ---

Your position is nonsense, don’t shave if you don’t want to. Grow hair on your legs, armpits and lip if you want. Live as hirsute as you would like. Shit, don’t brush your teeth and use a sponge in a bucket of brine to wipe your ass if it makes you happy. But don’t tell me that I prefer shaved vagina because I’m infantilizing women. I prefer it because public hair tickles my nose. ---

> [@naita](#): > > Does a shaved chin infantilize a man? Do you find the chin to be very sexual? Anyway, yes, facial shaving does infantilize men slightly.

More to the point, though, do you think shaving the scrotal sac and around the penis doesn’t infantilize men at all? Why do you think it’s not nearly as popular in discussion? I think you’re the one with the problem, actually. Many women shave because they find it hygienic. Or they just want to. Or they find it sexy. If you don’t, great, but projecting your insecurities and fears onto others is way shitty. I know a pair of lesbians who shave, are they infantilizing women? Your position is nonsense. ---
