      If you watched the video, she is very specifically talking about men who are commenting about women’s body hair publicly.

      You can have a preference without telling random women they should shave because it’s your personal preference.

      I have a preference for trimmed or hairy, but I don’t tell people that they must quit shaving because I find it more attractive.

      no, but considering the types of females that have no hair down there tend to be prepubecent (or have alopecia,) or the women who are concerned about early detection of STI’s, it does imply a kind of coding about the men who prefer it, rather than having no preference.

          I was about to agree with you but I reread it. Women is used as well, and the sentence that uses females is about their biology not choice.

          Still not accepting the argument about the implication on men’s coding though.

            It’s supported farther down as a indicator that the man sees women as equating to children, or sees the woman as permiscuous. I promise you that in either case, i’m calling out mysogyny.

              It’s literally the subject of the thread. taps title also, how would you describe a non adult person with two x chromosomes? There’s no such thing as a prepubescent “woman.” That’s an oxymoron.
