Hairy, Hairy, Hairy

For reading number eight in Body Outlaws I read Memoirs of a (sorta) Ex-Shaver. The reading is about a woman who talks about how woman are have hair naturally, but we shave it off because it is the social norm. She talks about how she went on a backpacking trip where she could only bring the essentials and didn't have a razor and her leg and armpit hair grew out. She shaved it all after the trip, but then in college she tried not shaving for a period of time. Just how different it feels and how people reacted. I chose it because when we were assigned the readings I hadn't shaved in a while, and I was thinking about it that day. I am happy with this choice of reading, it was funny, interesting and I can relate because sometimes I don't shave for a while. Not because I am going against what society tells me to do, but because I am too lazy to and don't really care what other people think about it. Boys don't even understand what a pain in the ass it really is to keep up with this shit! I enjoyed the reading a lot.
