[http://wrenincommunity.blogspot.com/2011/06/being-woman-at-east-wind.html](http://wrenincommunity.blogspot.com/2011/06/being-woman-at-east-wind.html) The woman on the left- is that her pubic hair I’m seeing, or is it some trick of light and shadow? I say: Pubes. Mrs. Homie says: You just _want_ to see pubes! ---

Young women don’t have pubic hair anymore. I agree with Mrs. Homie. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > Young women don’t have pubic hair anymore. I agree with Mrs. Homie. But young _hippy_ women are quite proud of their dense body hair. The woman’s blog post whence the pic came is all about her pride in her body. ---

No way that’s pubic hair. It isn’t even a trick of light or anything, it looks obviously like some clothing accessory – a belt or sash or something. If you look close I’m pretty sure you can see her armpit hair though. Ooh la la! ---

That isn’t pubic hair, unless she’s growing a tarantula from her minge. ---

If you click on the pic you get a bigger version. I’m pretty sure it’s yarn, or fringe. Those are way too thick to be pubes, unless she’s braiding them. ---

Looks like a fur pouch that’s sitting on her lap, possibly with its handle strapped around her right wrist. Maybe something like [this](http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/l/tid/43781814.jpg), but a different color? That pink-ish thing below her shirt isn’t her leg. ---

You’ve seen full grown pubic hair, right? I mean I’m not well versed in it but I’m a woman of Eastern European stock and there’s no way I can fathom pubic hair even being close to that lush. Perhaps next you need to tell Mrs. Homie that you are going to do some research into the topic so you can be better informed so as not to make that mistake again. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > Young women don’t have pubic hair anymore. I agree with Mrs. Homie. No, now they do again. They switched back already. Even so, there’s no visible pubic hair in the photo. ---

Judging by the swampy wetland in the photo behind her I think it’s safe to assume it’s a pet baaby beaver in her lap. ---

I’m seeing a tuft of feathers. Granted, I’m not getting much action these days, but I think I remember what a woman looks like well enough to say either that’s not pubic hair, or _I hope to God_ it’s not pubic hair. ---

That’s not even in the right place to be pubes, too far down her thigh. The right knee is in the way of seeing any actual crotch. The pic is too low-res to tell what that really is, but it looks like lace or feather or something, not hair. And it’s _hippie_, granola people are hippies. _Hippy_ refers to wide hips or fatty hips, neither reference of which is appreciated by anybody. ---

Normally, I’d say no way. But this does seem to be a group that embraces the ideas of ample pubic hair and nudity: > [@](#): > > East Wind is an egalitarian community, which means everyone is treated equal regardless of their gender, race, religion, et cetera. What that means to me personally is that if you are a woman then you have the right to be naked or topless without being sexually harassed. You have the right to have as many sexual partners as you want as long as there is consent, and regardless of their gender. You are encouraged to grow all your hair long, and not wear makeup. You can talk openly about menstruation, sex and your body. > > I grew up in a few different backgrounds, ranging from the country, to city, to the suburbs. In all of these places I was taught to fit in. I was taught to wear makeup, dress in a different clean outfit every day, shave almost all my body hair, don’t talk about masturbation, and don’t let anyone except your one sexual partner see you naked. > > I don’t do any of those things now. > > I have grown more comfortable in my body and my gender since I have been here. I feel very happy that I can be myself completely, I can literally be naked, and I am accepted and loved, and treated equally. So, maybe? ---

Never mind the faux pubes. Has anyone else noticed, the woman on the right has NO tits to speak of? Cute belly, though. But jeez, she’s flatter than Kansas. ---

How much open talk can you have about menstruation? “Got on the rag today…” “I got cramps. I always get cramps during my pre-cycle.” “My flow is exceptionally clotty this month.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-going-on-in-this-picture-nsfw-maybe/689096.md?page=2)
