It honestly started off out of laziness. But then I started analyzing the way women are treated for having hair under their arms. I started reading comments on some of my friend's photo by men saying how disgusting and filthy she was for having hair under her arms. This made something switch in my brain. I knew at least 90% of these men had hair under their own arms but they really thought it was somehow disgusting for a woman to have the same hair under hers? The hair that grows naturally just like theirs? This made me kind of pissed off.

So, I decided to continue growing out my underarm hair. Though, for the first 4 months I was still ashamed. Any time I went out in a sleeveless shirt I would find something to put over it so my armpits wouldn't be shown. But at some point I started being proud of my hair and I started challenging men's perspectives on female body hair. I started asking them why they think it's okay for them to have body hair buy absolutely repulsive if a female does? I can see saying it isn't quite your taste but, in most cases, men are disgusted by it. Women too, actually. Women have become thoroughly convinced they are someone dirty and shameful if they have underarm hair but that their hairy armed guys are just fine.
