Ok, so my husband REALLY hates my armpit hair. He said it makes him gag, because it's thick like a pelt of hair. I think society has conditioned him to think it's gross (because razor companies make people think hairless women are more beautiful) and asked him to try to accept it as a part of me. He could touch it if he wants and maybe just repeat exposure would help him accept it and love it. He refuses. He also thinks I'm doing it for attention, which I'm not. So, to compromise, I started by cutting it. As seen in this photo. I'd be okay with keeping it trimmed, but he's still not happy. The other issue I'm having is that I can't wear anything sleeveless in professional environments because I must keep it covered, so it's limiting my wardrobe options in the summer while it's super hot. Me, personally, it makes me feel more sexy and sensual and more me. What would you do or think I should do? Would you fight the good fight and keep it because you love it and try to be a part of societal norm change, despite it causing problems in your work life and marriage life, or would you shave it back off to make life easier and have one less thing to fight about? I really wish society was more accepting of things that are outside of the norm! I have been able to get away with no bra for years, adding this on is making my wardrobe even more limited. I must wear dark patterns on top to hide nipples and now sleeves to hide armpit hair. It's like I'm hiding myself to keep others happy! Ok, that's the end of my commentary. Love y'all.
