“Virgin hair can be waxed so successfully that growth can be permanently stopped in just 2 to 6 sessions. Save your child a lifetime of waxing … and put the money in the bank for her college education instead!”
Yes, you read that correctly.
There is very little I feel I can say on this subject that is productive and not just flippantly indignant. I am bewildered, but not in the least bit surprised. What I find incredibly disturbing is that the hairless pornographic aesthetic has become the norm. To teach girls at such a young age that pubic hair is something to be ashamed of and not a sign of maturing and good health is doing them a disservice. It reinforces (yet again) that there is something inherently wrong with their body and it is not only normal but desirable to go through extreme pain to correct it.
The very act of waxing is utterly brutal. I think there is something very out of sorts with a parent if they freely subject their child to what might as well be medieval torture.
Wow, that’s disturbing. And I thought it was disturbing when my fifth grade classmates forced me to shave my ten-year-old legs because I was the “monkey girl.” No, no, no pre-teens should not be getting waxed. Jeez.
Waxing at an older age, though, is just fine. And getting a Brazilian or full doesn’t make you a bad feminist.
