Just like your head hair would smell after ages of not washing, it's the same thing - just keep to basic hygiene and you should be okay. <br />Also hey, thanks! I don't know if I will be able to post about that any time soon, but it's nice that you considered me!

Every now and then I would shave my armpits (for an event, for example), but mainly I went au-natural. My parents were the main people to negatively comment on it, along with my anti-feminist aunt, but nobody else noticed. I didn't sway my arms in the air, so nobody really saw. But the people who did, my family, would talk about it a lot, and be pretty rude. You know when even your own family discourages you from it, that it's a bad situation and social conditioning.Amy Aedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112327200574984495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103253226259701274.post-70704463700649355882015-11-10T03:22:41.818-08:002015-11-10T03:22:41.818-08:00No problem dude C:No problem dude C:Amy Aedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112327200574984495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103253226259701274.post-20518341448396565392015-11-10T03:22:22.010-08:002015-11-10T03:22:22.010-08:00No problem c:No problem c:Amy Aedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112327200574984495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103253226259701274.post-73646317849452732552015-11-10T03:22:10.138-08:002015-11-10T03:22:10.138-08:00No problem!

Thank you so, so much, it's such an insanely awesome feeling when people leave this much positive feedback c:<br />I had never been taught of or encouraged to become a feminist before that one teacher, so it's no surpass really that so many people are growing up with negative views of it. <br />The body hair thing is completely subjective, and I just used it as a main factor to prove my point, because it is one of the most prominent things that women are discouraged from, whilst men are treated no different, or treated with praise. You've worded this perfectly, and I hope that one day we'll be able to just live how we want and not have to struggle to fit into the moulds that society has rolled out for us, but unfortunately, I don't think that that's going to happen anytime soon. Especially with the lack of support and education that people are putting into feminism. <br />Wow. Sonia, that is amazing, and I am not even kidding. I know exactly how you feel, and yet it's really hard some times, but you can find yourself again. You can change what you don't like, and work on what you do. You need time, that's all. You can do it.<br />Amy Aedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112327200574984495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103253226259701274.post-87368275204514304122015-11-10T03:14:03.677-08:002015-11-10T03:14:03.677-08:00Thanks Cvetina!Thanks Cvetina!Amy Aedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112327200574984495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103253226259701274.post-64619911823595358082015-11-10T03:13:49.517-08:002015-11-10T03:13:49.517-08:00Thank you so, so much.
