If You Think a Girl Talking About Leg Hair is Gross, You Probably Shouldn't Read This Post

Why do humans have to be primates? Seriously, why? Especially in this day and age where if a girl has any hair, besides what is on her head, she is considered a disgusting creature.

This rant comes from the hour that I spent shaving my legs. I kid you not, it took me an hour to shave the whole surface of my legs.  Usually, I shave my shins, calves, and half way up my thigh. No one is going to see above that, I'm LDS people.  But since I am going swimming tonight, I was forced by the stigma of society to shave the entirety of my legs.  The last time I did this, was probably last summer, because it takes too flipping long. YOLO. I went through a whole Gaelic Storm album over the time that it took me to shave and shower. I don't understand why it is that people think for a girl to be beautiful she has to be hairless. Sometimes I wish I was European, so that I didn't have to care. But then I wouldn't have freedom and I probably wouldn't be LDS. Oh, the sacrifices that we have to make.  I also wish that I didn't care what other people thought of me, but because I am a human being, I have self esteem issues, just like everyone else. Therefore, I suffered through an hour of putting blades to my skin just so that I wouldn't have a Teacher call me 'gross' at my wards pool party tonight.  Or any of the Young Women that I still know. Or some of the little children that are brutally honest.

I am a mammal. I have hair everywhere else that males have hair. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean that I don't grow hair. Although, it would be super nice to not have a person laser it off, but I go to college, so that's not possible.
And also you never know when someone has a hormonal imbalance or something which is why they have so much hair. It could very well be a medical condition. So why can't they be beautiful?

Moral of this story, don't judge people based on social stigmas, love them for who they are and not what they look like. Also, shaving takes to long and sucks which is why I have hair on my legs sometimes and wear jeans a lot.
