Incidentally, that "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation" bit is a lot more common than people think. Consider how many men are HUGE fans of japanimation. Now consider how much japanimation, even the stuff for children, contains casual SA as a way of saying "Hello"….

That's men who passively consume predation. And there's a LOT of them.

The good/bad binary is something that people have to unlearn.

EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY is on a scale of good or bad. (This includes us.)

It's very hard to solve a problem if your thinking is black and white as that graphic so ably shows.

Still a bloody weird thing to do when there was no confusion over what was meant...

Correcting somebody for using the obviously colloquial term is absolutely pedantic. Yes it is correctly to say the scientific term but thats just not what happens. Ultimately there was no confusion, nobody actually thought OP was talking about shaving the actual vagina, so what did making an "ummmm ackkchully" comment achieve in this scenario? Its just so weird.

Trimmed works best for me. Those ingrowns are awful.

I prefer mine shaved completely bald. But I get the worst ingrowns I can't, so I just keep it trimmed.

It's not, because it's ridiculous to call the outside part a vagina. You don't talk about guys having a shaved penis, do you?

Similarly when people call (femme-presenting) tits genitals.

Using proper terminology isn't pedantic, it avoids confusion. There's enough mysoginistic bullshit circulating around regarding women's anatomy, we don't have to perpetuate it ourselves.

But I think the biggest problem with this is that most people dont have someone insightful in their lives who will tell them that last sentence after they say or do some f'd up sh1t to a woman or young girl who just wants to mind their own business.

THATS why the majority of Epsteinites have gotten away with what they did and continue to get away with what they did. We know who they are ...and.... we havent done anything as a repurcussion for their sins sadly....

I mean, if my partner keeps hers short, that's her preference. Personally, I'd rather just leave mine alone. If she has complaints, we can discuss. We're both adults.

Painful. So not worth it.

I can't, my cat is performing the song of her people at 2:30

Outside the window sits an old neon sign shaped like an arrow, it buzzes and clicks as it flickers, pointing to a hazily lit vulva. The window only opens halfway. Old curtains obscure most of the scene inside. If we look inside, there hides a full grown woman with a hatchet, twirling an arm of her handlebar mustache, menacingly.

She's got six this week. They reach in a hand and pull back a lesson, and screams that wake the senses.

She's tried to move on. She's been a an accountant, a real estate agent, she even got her pilot's license and flew around the east coast for a while. There's something satisfying in those screams though, and she can't get the craving out of her hungry soul.

So she stands. She waits. She tends the vulva that brings her justice. The mustache, well, the mustache keeps her busy on nights that can get deeply boring. Between moments of feeling alive beyond measure, she twirls.

And waits to live again

Some folks are pedantic its fine.

I always say I don't have pants that day.

I lasered mine, which I guess answers that. And honestly, when I go down on another woman, I prefer there to be less hair, but shaving sucks for that because the short hairs chafe your face like a mofo.

You want one? Knock yourself out. My own? Hairy as a beast.

That sounds great, but I really need to count my cutlery that evening.

I'd love to, but my Lego needs polishing.

Would you like to watch a movie on Saturday?

Lasered, so that I could have a tattoo there. No problems with it at all, for myself or partner

I like trimming, not shaving.

There is a point where it gets scratchy and distracting, and makes it hard for bedroom activities. ✂️✂️

its not too bad. depending on the laser unit and settings it might not hurt at all, but will probably hurt some. personally i find the magnitude of the pain isnt very high but its very sudden when the laser pulses. the suddenness is worse for me than drawn out pain for some reason, even if the pain has the same peak. regardless the first time is the worst and the pain lessens with every treatment as the hairs are damaged.

Unless meant as a joke this is a very weird thing to say in a women's community. We all know what is mean by vag in the colloquial sense...

I do relate on a smaller timescale tho

Damn. Sorry to hear that.

I believe anyone should be able to do whatever they want with their pubes.

For myself? I fucking hate it. The razor burn, the second day stubble, the ingrown hair, just no. My skin is highly sensitive, so when the stubble starts coming in, it desensitizes my bits and I have a lot of difficulty trying to orgasm, like it gets so irritated to the point that it’s sometimes impossible for me to orgasm. It’s just awful, I have clippers to trim if it gets long, but no to full shave.

For the ladies I occasionally hook up with, I’d still prefer not full shave and just trimmed, but I’m not going to tell someone else what to do with their body. And if we are otherwise cool and consenting, I’ll still hook up with someone who chooses to shave.
