maybe it’s because it’s easier for me to have done this because of my extensive background in feminism. maybe it’s because i’m a big dyke and if the people i surround myself accept that, a little leg hair won’t bother them. mostly it’s because i have found no good reason to shave my legs. it’s an idea that society has made us believe that we need to embrace to attract a partner. my girlfriend doesn’t particularly like it but it’s not a big deal, she doesn’t dislike it either. i think that stupid rituals need to be challenged so that we as women can stop paying so much attention to them and focus on bigger issues. i havn’t shaved my legs for about half a year and i don’t intend on shaving them ever again.
ps. if you shave, let’s say, once a month, for a few months your hair grows back so slowly that that’s about all you have to shave anyway. for me, that is, that’s how i started. so, even if you don’t stop completely, at least reduce and save yourself money on razors.
