Excellent rant - it sounds like a really irritating book and I don't see how it would be any use to anyone.
“I am saddened that women have to spend so much time, money and effort removing their body hair. On the other hand, it takes a brave woman to fight the hairy fight by herself – I’m certainly not about to be the one who leads the way. To go to the swimming pool with pubes coming out of the sides of a bikini, to let facial hair be obvious rather than removed or bleached. Even if I were comfortable with it, society wouldn’t be.”
This bit really annoys me because it seems to say there's no point in doing anything to change the world we live in, because society will frown on it. What kind of things does she suggest as activism? What is the acceptable fight?
