Feminists really have the weirdest obsessions
(dudes historically obsessing over the existence of body hair on women) women, am I right guys??
If it had been the other way around (pubes on women and non on men), I bet you this article would’ve complained about that too. It’s just ragebait for feminists looking for a reason to be offended.
You didn’t even read it, did you?
There’s more complaining in your comment than in the piece you’re complaining about. Cry more, you’ll show those feminists!
They talk about male statues as well in the article, I don’t know why the title fixated on women.
Because, according to the article, only the women had their hair removed. The men did have pubes.
In ancient Greece, whether you were a hairy alpha male or a gorgeous and effeminate power bottom, the gents were generally allowed to let it all hang out. But when it came to depicting the female body, she was always entirely pubeless.
OMG this means all of it is underage!!!11
😏
One thing the article doesn’t consider is age. What if the ancient artists were intending their subjects to be younger girls than the actual models?
“Youth” in women being idealised then as now, presumably. I don’t imagine they had the same issues with girls being under age as we do.
You might want to read into it some weird sexist agenda, but really, they also had a lot of naked men with realistic penises and no pubes. I’m sure it’s cuz those dudes had to shave to make it look bigger, yeah?
Truth is sculpting body hair was taking too much time and production couldn’t keep up with demand, so management decided to cut costs and keep it smooth.
Men were depicted with pubes, though. See the article, too.
A female friend of mine actually did her bachelor’s thesis on body hair removal across certain cultures and time periods. Fun discussions were had.
Short version, body hair removal on both women and men has been around for a very long time and is subject to changes. Depictions of nude bodies follow somewhat different rules, though. If they are at all permissible, that is.
