Two Rules of Feminism

fused-shadows:

Rule #1: Do Not Starve Yourself
Rule #2: Do Not Shave Your Vulva.

mm, nope. stating that one of the rules of feminism is ‘you must shave your vulva’ is not only false, it’s major body policing which is what feminism is AGAINST. Feminism has rallied against shaving because society tells women they have to do it or else their bodies are abject and disgusting, and not worthy of sexual or romantic attraction. Feminism tells women it’s okay and awesome not to shave, but it also encourages women to make their own personal choices about their bodies, and if shaving is what works best for you, do it! There’s no inherent stance on body hair that feminism supports - it supports autonomy with regards to bodily activity, regardless of what it is. Educate yourselves on feminism, everyone :)
