Is a woman who chooses to be comfortable with her hair is defying patriarchal norms and a feminist woman who likes her arms perfectly hairless is submitting to societal standards?

A 24-year-old woman embraces her hairy chest and natural body hair and finally starts to feel comfortable and sexy in her own skin.

I reasoned that waxing hurt because I had too much hair- so I would secretly shave between sessions to lessen the growth. Big mistake.

More women need to speak out about their experiences with body-shaming so that there can be healthier conversations.

Women themselves have internalised these standards to such an extent that we feel hideous if we simply the eyebrow and upper lip hair grow out. I guess the conditioning is too strong.
