Though girls in China have been posting hairy armpit selfies on twitter as part of a competition run by Weibo (as the Daily Mail reported, not linking obviously) so props to Weibo for that.

It would also be dumb to think there won’t be a reaction from friends and lovers if you play hairy. You might be cool with that. That might be want you want, and hell we’re always into mixing shit up, especially when it comes to questioning the cultural norms that make women behave in a certain way for a predominantly (perceived at least) male gaze but it’s worth thinking about and probably not for easy-lifers. Unless you’re lucky enough to live somewhere super-progressive or plan to only show that version of yourself online.

But if you’ve taken that on board and you’re still game then go for it. As ever it’s helpful to quote Teen Wolf (original version) in such situations: “You’re not a monster, you’re a werewolf like me…”

What do you guys think? Do you still shave your arm pits? Would you ever not? If not why? If you don’t how does that go down where you live? Tell us below the line.
