As for a woman rubbing unshaven legs against anyone... eeewwwww.
I love double standards. "Oh, I want men to be all perfectly groomed to my standards at all times!" and the next thing is "Oh wah! It's sexist for men to expect me to wear makeup and be smoothly shaven at all times!"
It's hair. The way people are acting, you'd think it was akin to feces. I mean, Christ. If hair is that bad, then just shave your whole damned body and be done with it. I'm so fucking sick of hearing the double standards and hearing about how I'm a disgusting individual because I only shave my legs once a week. If my mother had never forced me to shave my legs when I was in junior high, I wouldn't have to. I'd have soft blonde peach fuzz that wouldn't be noticeable at all. I resent that and I resent society trying so hard to pretend that we aren't primates and trying so hard to become plastic robots because everything that's involves the body is obviously horrible and disgusting.
Guess what? Hair isn't evil and gross. My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind that I only shave my legs once a week. In fact, he commented today that he doesn't notice that I haven't shaved. You know why? Because it's not important. I certainly don't get pissed if he goes a day without shaving. "Oh my god! You didn't shave today! The world is going to end and I find you totally unattractive! Don't touch me! Ew ew ew! No sex until you shave!"
I like boorite's hair. I like running my fingers through the light curly hair on his chest and sliding my hands across the smooth, silky trail of hair down his stomach and to his crotch. I like touching every stray hair that I come across. If he had back hair (and his back is all smooth and nice to touch) I would love to touch it. If he was Cousin It, I'd still want to touch it.
Sure, stubble can be scratchy when he's going down on me, but he's considerate enough to shave before said going down upon, if it's been a couple days. Besides, one day of stubble certainly doesn't deter the fun I'm having.
Now that TMI is out of the way...
And when I see someone who hasn't shaved that day and is in a business suit, my first thought isn't "Oh, he's such a lazy fuck that he couldn't be buggered to take five minutes out of his day to groom himself." My first thought is "Hey, everyone has those days." Come on, who hasn't had a day that they were running so late to work they couldn't get a shower in or put makeup on? I've had months worth of those days in my work history. And if I see a guy who hasn't shaved that day and is wearing street clothes, my response also isn't "Oh, he's such a lazy fuck that he couldn't be buggered to take five minutes out of his day to groom himself." It's usually "Lucky bastard must have a day off. I wish it was my day off." Because who in their right mind would bother going through all that bullshit grooming crap if you didn't have to actually be anywhere you needed to look good when it was your day off? "Oh! I have to go to Safeway! Better look my best!"
And five minutes to shave facial hair? Okay, it takes me at least ten to shave my legs, that's up to my knees only, and I don't use anything other than soap lather and the same razor I've had the past month. Men's faces are MUCH more sensitive than that. Women can shave their legs against the grain; men can't do that on their faces. They have to take time and care because if they rush it too much, they'll end up with razor burn and nicks which can lead to folliculitis, ingrown hairs, acne, and infection. I don't think I've ever seen a man shave in under fifteen. Even using electric razors usually take more than five, and despite what commercials say, you really can't do it while driving your Saab to work. And I'm sure electrics work fine for some people, but not everyone likes using them (blasphemy I'm sure) and I've never seen one that gives as good a shave as a razor. So those poor bastards running late to work would probably kill to be able to do it in five minutes.
And for women to expect men to be done grooming in five minutes and not hold that standard for themselves are hypocritical idiots who do nothing more than perpetuate the stereotypical myths that increase the wallet size of cosmetic and personal care companies. And same to the people who think hair is disgusting. Like I said, if it's that bad, then shave it all off and stop being so hypocritical. One of these days, braided underarm hair and shaved heads will be the height of sexual attraction, and as ridiculous as some may think that is, it's no more ridiculous than what we do now.
And why the hell do men get to leave their legs and underarms unshaved while women are considered gross and unhygenic if they do the same? It's just plain stupid. Okay sure, I shave my legs because if the hair gets too long, my socks start pulling the hair uncomfortably and I like shaving under my arms because I've been doing it for so long that I can't imagine not and I like the way they feel anyway, but to call someone unhygenic and disgusting because they don't is some of the stupidest things I've heard in my life. Right up there with the tectonic plates needing oil for lubrication. Not bathing for a week is probably unhygenic. Not washing your hands at least after the bathroom certainly is. Not shaving is so far below that, it should be an issue. Except for stupid shallow people who having a reaction to someone having not shaved for a week similar to the reaction I have when I see centipedes (those little fuckers!).
Of course it's all just personal preference, but most americans seem to be heading towards robotism. No wonder other countries laugh at us. Good thing I seceded years ago because I hate being lumped with those people.
Now that I've ranted myself (almost) out and I've lost focus, I'm going to do something productive with my unshaven legs. The ones I didn't shave today. I might go wave them at a passerby or go handle food. Because I'm unhygenic and disgusting. I think I'll start only shaving my legs once a month and go work in food service but not tell you where. I'm sure my foot-long leg hairs will show up in your food. Then I'll convert people and we'll spread out evil unshaven legs and faces all over the country til no restaurant is safe and people will either have to convert to one of us or live in fear in their home and never come out. Because no one is allowed to be different. We all have to be the same. We all have to be Barbie and Ken.
Cunts.
