shaving balls =/= shaving legs AT ALL. It's not close. There's no muscle behind a ball sack to provide any sort of counter-pressure... just nuts. Nuts don't work as a counter-pressure source at all. Also they require an elaborate set of mirrors if you're truly trying to get into every nook. I used to try with a razor, but the hairs growing back hurt, now I just trim the hairs down to about a cm with scissors. It takes longer, but feels better.
YAS! Yas... Yaaaas... yaaaaas... YAS.... Yas... (Have you seen People of Earth? This alien is trying to pronounce YAS and it cracks me up whenever I see it).
I'm not looking. I looked up something way worse earlier from a link to an article about the dirtiest things on Urban dictionary (Sheena Shaw honey prolapse) and I can't handle google for awhile.
Whatever you do... DO NOT FUCKING GOOGLE THAT.
top 10 most messed up sex acts ---> a link highlighting sheena shaw prolapse ---> clicking on it in stupidity and seeing a group of guys doing some fucked up shit.
Defenders was awesome tho.
What if she wants to shave them herself
Like to be honest, no one forces you to shave your legs
I shave mine cause I want to and I lik the smooth feeling

If she's raised "like a girl" she may want to shave her legs. Maybe not if she was just treated like a person. Apparently you love to play the girlie role and that's fine.
Now is the part where you need to tell me to go back to Tumblr and kill myself, cause I totally mean it. I'm eMANcipated. If women want to shave their legs, fine, if not fine as well. But making them believe they must or they're gross freaks is a huge part of what's wrong in this world.

Tell me where in the post someone said the girl was raised to make her shave her legs or whatever ?
I understand your point but please keep your bullshit to yourself when there's absolutely nothing
It says that the daughter asked her father to show her, so it was HER choice. Like yukihaki said, nowhere does it say her father (or anyone) is making her believe she has to.

So you believe it's natural for a girl to want to shave her legs? Like it's in her genetic setting or something? Or is it maybe, just maybe, caused by expectations?
Yes, SOME girls are brought up in this world with the expectation that they should shave. But you have no idea how this girl was raised. She's probably seen other women or even men with shaved legs, and thought to herself, 'oh that looks nice, I think I want to try that'. Or it may bother her, and she doesn't want to deal with the hair. Or she may be just trying to keep personal hygiene. That's why I shave sometimes. Not because I believe I have to, or I was raised to think that I have to. Sometimes it just bothers me. It's the same reason you would get a haircut, or shave your facial hair. So yes, sometimes people just think, 'I want to try shaving!'

Influences and expectations go way beyond personal environment. How is that dad "fabulous" if not for doing a "girly" thing to bond with his daughter? What's mostly the image of men with shaved legs? You're right, I don't know them, and I didn't mean them, that's why I said "a father".
Is it in your "genetic settings" to wipe your ass with toilet paper after taking a shit? I don't see you complaining bout society asking you to do that.
Girls with hairy legs are FINE , just like girls who shave their legs are FINE . Nowhere in the original post, or in this thread is anyone saying otherwise, except you.
You said above, "If women want to shave their legs, fine, if not fine as well", but you're not exactly showing a tolerance for anyone who shaves. You say either is fine, yet you seem to think anyone who shaves is just bowing to societal pressure.
You don't seem to realize that one of the reasons this post is loved is because the dad loves his daughter so much that HE is bucking pressure society places on his gender just because his daughter ASKED HIM TO. Granted, her reasons for asking may be based on reasons you don't agree with, but maybe, instead of attacking a father who is showing his love for his daughter and doing the best he can to help her with something with which he is probably unfamiliar, you get off your high horse and show some of that open-mindedness you claim to have.

"Girls with hairy legs are FINE , just like girls who shave their legs are FINE . Nowhere in the original post, or in this thread is anyone saying otherwise, except you " - Uhm, how about you read my posts in context, like this very post you answered to, where I am reacting to this guy comparing girls who don't shave their legs to people who don't wipe their asses? It's fine if you don't though, no pressure here.
Guest did not compare girls who don't shave to people who don't wipe their asses. They were replying to your comment where you asked if it was in girls' genetic setting to shave. They are saying that people do many things we're not genetically programmed to do. I have no idea why you are so defensive and argumentative when we are all basically agreeing with you - either is fine.

Not wanting to have debris of feces between your buttocks is pretty much likely to be in our genetic setting, as pretty much every primate has developed strategies to get rid of that. How oblivious and ignorant does one have to be not to realize that shaving womens legs is a very abstract, purely cultural thing?
Let be friend!
Whatever you do... DO NOT FUCKING GOOGLE THAT.
I just asking for some theories
