I have a question that has been bothering me at great length..why do feminists refuse to shave their legs?

Question

Is it to ward of the advances of the men they so despise?

Answer 1

Molly, Molly, Molly . . . (sigh) Whatever shall we do with you? You know such a claim is but a scandalous falsehood.

Answer 2

because they don't believe they should follow men's ideas of femininity and beauty.

Answer 3

Feminists hate men: They refuse to --

- be polite to men

- shave legs or armpits

- wear makeup

- admit that the most sexist sexists, are feminists

Answer 4

feminists don't hate men. they want equality. as far as not wanting to shave their legs, that goes for all women. it's a pain in the neck.

Answer 5

They can't see over their bellies so there's no telling where that razor might go.

Answer 6

I am a femist and i shave. And not all femits burn there bras to. Stupid

Answer 7

How is it your business what other people shave, or don't?

Unless you're the leg police, I can't see why it would even worry you!

Cheers :-)

Answer 8

Not sure, but good question, though.

Answer 9

Ever heard of wax or electrolysis? Shaving your legs is so last century and low income. But if that is what makes your day, who am I to comment on your choices.

Answer 10

I don't shave my legs because it reminds me of the apes I once came from.

I feel very connected with nature.

edit:

Don't let Mo bother you. If you wish to keep any mustache or goatee you have then that is quite alright!

Good question darling!

Answer 11

No. Some feminists choose not to shave their legs because they don't want to be party to the oppressive beauty standard women spend so much time, effort, and money on. Many women torture themselves their whole lives, having plastic surgery, spending thousands of dollars in an ill-fated attempt to be as beautiful and perfect as a Barbie or the airbrushed models in the ads in magazines. Women get a tremendous amount of pressure from media (TV, movies, magazines, our mothers) to be as beautiful as possible.

You hit the nail on the head about WHY women do this: they're taught they have to look a certain way so that men will be attracted to them, as though that were the most important trait they possessed. Nevermind intellect, humor, or friendliness. Who needs a personality when you've got smooth legs?

There are plenty of guys out there who don't give a d**n about shaved legs or armpits. My very hairy roommate Maggie hasn't shaved in years but is certainly not short of male attention. Some guys can actually see past the hair for the smart, sweet, funny girl she is.

Of course, there are some feminists who shave their legs. Myself included. The point of feminism is, you should be allowed to choose, and not be bullied by social pressure into irrational behavior.

Answer 12

Not even true.  Lots of feminists are extremely proud of their appearance.  The shaggy hairy image of the feminist is taken out of 30 yrs ago past.  Are you confusing butch lesbians with feminists?  Two different things.  Most feminists these days are very well put together feminine looking women.

Answer 13

You need to do something about the mustache and goatee: try NAIR.  Never mind obsessing about other women's legs visible only at 'great length'  -  you've got real problems, up front and personal!

Answer 14

There are women who are not feminists who don't shave their legs or remove any body hair either. Some of those women belong to religions that teach such things are vain and unnatural.  

Plus there are men who prefer women in a more "natural" state as it were.

Answer 15

I've never shaved my legs in my life, and it's not even noticeable.

Answer 16

You people really have to quit taking my dares before you get banned.  I'll get you in a lot of trouble.

Wendy- Molly is my slave and does what I ask.  I use her to keep myself from getting in trouble on here.

No it was a truth or dare thing.  Long story.

Sure I can think of something original, but it'll be a lot worse next time.

Geez.  It's not supposed to be taken seriously.

Answer 17

They think its demeaning or something.. HA..

Feminists crack me up! Let them enjoy their 45 cats and daytime TV. At least by not shaving they give men a good warning. I want to know if a woman is a feminist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

To avoid wasting time....

Answer 18

This question has been asked in this Forum millions, millions of times. It gets extremely tiring.

Pictures have been posted, people have responded, but some just insist about the old stereotype.

It doesn't matter that most feminists are feminine, it doesn't matter how many have said that....no one listens.

It doesn't matter that most have husbands or boyfriends....no one listens

It doesn't matter that so many of us have said we don't hate men...no one listens

I am losing my time answering to this question I know.... as no one will listen anyway

Answer 19

Oh shut up and go do like a good b*tch does. Find a man to desperately suck up to, wash his feet then suck him off so he can leave you when he get sicks of your boredom and compliance (which will happen).

I shave my legs thank you.

Answer 20

I shave almost everyday.

Does that make me a second class feminist?

Answer 21

most feminists I met shaved. Now it's the vegan's that tend to look like a wookie though..lol

Answer 22

Feminist refuse to shave their legs because these tiny hairs secret poisonous p***s and bra burning munching acid.  The legs of a feminist are very important, yet dangerous, because you never know what will come out of those furry stalks of unrefined womanhood.  I've seen the elephant myself.  Just a warning: Beware of feminist with eluring charm...Don't say I warned you when your balls are suddenly in your hands..

Answer 23

I shave three times a day, actually, since mine is extra thick and lycanthropic.

Brilliant question, BTW, and completely original. We've NEVER seen this one before...

EDIT-So, Colonel, instead of daring everybody else to do your dirty work, why don't you do it yourself?

And can't you think of something ORIGINAL next time?

Answer 24

Ah, trying not to step on feminist toes today Stepford?

For the record I do shave my legs, but you are welcome to visualise me as hairy legged if that boosts your self esteem

Answer 25

rofl i think that their attitude in general will ward off those darn men! lol jk

Answer 26

I don't refuse to do it. It's just that I don't need to shave my legs that often. I only do it if the hairs get long enough for me to notice. That generally only occurs once a month or less. I guess I'm lucky that I don't have much body hair.

Answer 27

Lol, I haven't shaved my legs now for 3 days.  They sure are spiky. hehe, might go and flash them now at some of those antifeminist-men.

Answer 28

Because they always run out of shaving cream.

Answer 29

Almost all feminists shave their legs and they do not despise men.  Why do you rant against feminists as if they were all the same.  Your question is insulting to members.

Answer 30

HAHAHA!!!!!!

You forgot about the armpits and pubic hair too.
