Are you going to add anything constructive or just repeat yourself?_incogNEATo_ wrote: »it's gross
I'm just posting my thoughts on the subject. It may not be constructive to you, but that's probably because you're of the opposite opinion. It's okay.
And since it's a debatable subject, I don't think it's justified to flag the post for posting my opinion.
First off, I didn't flag your post, maybe someone else is tired of you. So far your thoughts have been "gross" and "it's gross". You said it once, no need to repeat yourself. Maybe you forgot you already responded. If that's the case, I apologize. Did I say anything the first time you said gross? Just because it's your opinion doesn't mean it's constructive.
I didn't say you flagged it. That's why I dropped down a line. If I was accusing you, I would have directed it right at you. You COULD stop taking it so personal though. To be one of the posters that doesn't care what others think, you sure are defensive.
It was in a post directed at me, that's why I took it as an accusation. I'm not taking it personally, I just felt the thread could use less trolling.
I'm a troll because I posted my displeasure in women taking a natural approach to hair growth (twice)?
Nope, you're a troll because I've seen you be one. I find it telling that you choose not to respond to what I've said.
Respond to what you said about what? I will gladly respond to whatever you need me to address.
OR, you can try accepting that not everybody feels the same way as you do regarding hair on women or hair in general. I have enough hair on my back to weave an Indian blanket, but I don't find it very liberating at all. It's gross to me, but I don't have arms long enough to shave it. Sometimes I can talk my wife into doing it.
What else should I respond to?
Did you forget you already posted?
Did I say anything the first time you posted "gross"?
I accept that not everyone agrees with me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that includes me and you. You do not find your back hair liberating (I doubt my husband does either). At first, I felt empowered by not shaving my legs. Now it's just my way of life. I've not once pressured people into not shaving, only shared my opinion and (hopefully) opened some eyes/minds. An example of being constructive.
I don't follow you around to see where all you post, so I don't know if you said anything the first time I posted or not. The glory of the internet is that I can post as many times as I'd like (except for when I'm in MFP jail and have to wait every 150 seconds).
I never said anything about your opinion. If you can accept that is my opinion, why have you called me a troll on two different occasions? Is it SOOO unbelievable that you think I'm just trolling? Another example of being constructive is stating opinions that may not be popular. In this case, me saying it's gross is not the popular opinion and I'm probably considered to be mean or in your words (twice), "a troll." You've repeated yourself now on several occasions. We all know how it's just your way of life now because you've said it more times than I've said, "gross."
If you'd like to move on now with our difference of opinions, we can. No apologies are necessary from you.
I'm done with you, that's fine. I only apologize when it's warranted.
Right, and I said it wasn't. We're good, girl

Shave, don't shave. Whatever. People are judgy buttholes. I shave my pits cause i smell if i don't, no amount of deodorant can fix that for me. I don't like my own brand. I shave my legs in warm weather cause that's just what i'm used to. Shaved my head in 6th grade and got called G.I. Jane til 8th grade. I've decide it wasn't a bad thing, and I may just do it again.0

Shave, don't shave, as long as you don't smell I don't care. I refuse to hug people with exposed armpits anyway.
Armpits are gross.0 -
I don't care what you do with any of your hair, armpits included. Sometimes I shave my underarms, sometimes I don't. I've usually got a bit of peach fuzz going on.
I think double standards suck. I think having to use man boobs to send out a video to WOMEN about how to properly do a breast exam, or otherwise face censorship, is ridiculous. The same applies here.2 -

There's a difference between trauma, and emotional damage that requires help from a professional, and the emo kids who do it for attention.
Don't take something and twist it around. I understand this is text on a wall ... but not everything it meant to offend you.
Your initial post was about how you deliberately make a point of offending strangers in public. You are, in fact, an offensive person and I don't understand how you're shocked to learn that people are offended by how utterly out-of-touch and ridiculous your commentary is.
My initial post was never of the sort. I suggest you go back and find my initial post and read. And yes, I do make it a point to say something if someone is walking around smelling like trash. There's a difference if you're in a gym... sweating and your deodorant isn't strong enough.... and when you're in a movie or eating and having to smell someone who smells like they bathed in cat pee. I offend a lot of people.... just how I am, and I won't apologize for that. It just shows how sensitive some people are on certain subjects, and how people like to take words and manipulate them to what they see fit as interpretation.
Doesn't show to me how sensitive some people are - shows to me how rude and offensive you are.
If you offend a lot of people the problem isn't with all of them.

If you're close enough for me to notice either way the real issue will be you invading my personal Bubble not where your hair is. I shave armpits so I don't feel sweat linger in my pits, and legs so I can rub them together all smooth like. If you're making a huge effort to catch my attention with your body hair you're a whack job but that's a matter of misguided priorities vs me having a hair phobia.

I tend to not always bother in the winter, because who is going to see my armpits or legs anyway? but in the summer I tend to shave once a week, because I like to wear sleeveless tops and short trousers... I don't have an issue with it, but I accept that some people do and so I feel more socially acceptable when I shave my armpits and legs in the summer, but couldn't give a rat's hairy *kitten* in the winter lol0

Could do it. Have done it, and my man doesn't care, either way. I still prefer to remove said hair, just feels better to me.1

How stupid.
One could just change 'didn't take the time to shave her legs to anything( including ' did shave her legs' )
Meaningless statement.1 -

I personally feel uncomfortable not shaving. I have thick, curly hair and it always rubbed on long sleeves and pants. So I shave legs AND arms (and underarms) simply for personal comfort. every single day or i feel prickly. A close friend of mine never shaves anything and it doesn't bother me in the least. If a man wanted to wax his whole body - go for it. Do whatever makes you comfortable.1
