And women have less hair than men, so we completely remove it it emphasise that. Plus, women are smaller down there than men, so waxing it makes it look tinier than it does leaving it natural. It's exaggeration of what we actually look like, and emphasising what makes women look like women, which in turn makes them look MORE like women......

Yes! --- fake! We are so pressured as women to be unnatural and to detest that which about us IS natural.
It's so so sad.(IMO)
I think society is saying-- We aren't as "perfect" as men and so we MUST try 10 times harder to appeal to the masses, men don't have to try... they are accepted as "perfect" just the way they naturally are... lucky guys.
(and I KNOW-- guys get lipo, cosmetic surgery and have eating disorders... BUT -- NOT to the degree women have! those few drops don't fill the whole bucket like the down pour of women that suffer)
and society wonders ..
why so many women are bulimic, anorexic, self harm....etc...etc....
....
I don't ask-- "why"....
I ask "why wouldn't they be?"....??
You are gross if you have too much hair on your body--
you are gross if you don't have enough on your head,
you are gross if you're too fat or too thin,
you are gross if your breasts are too large or too small,
...if your lips are too thin,
...if you don't have long eye lashes,
...if your skin isn't soft as velvet
the list of extreme expectations goes on and on and on
and
the sadest thing of all---
we--- as women, perpetuate it
