I don't pay anyone to do anything to my body. I can do it myself. (lol)

I know, that's another thing! I don't want some stranger down there messing around with my goods. Yeah, yeah, doctors and all, but she ain't no doctor.
Funny you mention these things. First off, though we are brainwashed to see arm pit hair as visually unappealing the bacteria that accumulates in the hair during exercise or heat is hard to remove from hair. I can easily wipe my underarms with a soapy washcloth when my skin is bare and know I am clean.

As for the region below well I am not totally convinced that the waxing over long periods of time doesn't actually stretch the labia skin. I don't need my skin actually stretched out, thank you. And I use Nair on the bikini area and shave the tender parts which is scary to some but I have gotten used to it. There is no itching when the hair grows in since I have gotten used to it. I save a ton of money. And embarrassment. 😊

Looks are an accident of birth or created by artifice -- smarts are earned and nurtured through education and available to all women irregardless of a pretty face or body.

Women are so much more than Barbie-doll good looks. Look under the surface and see a woman's soul.
That's funny. "Solely for their looks".

SOLELY?

Hyperbole MUCH?

STOP being influence by idiots from Salon, Huffpo and the rest.

You think men can STAND to marry someone SOLELY for her looks?

You realize, of course, why Hillary started wearing ONLY pants?

And I won't even go INTO The list of women SHE and her husband destroyed. And that's just the tip of the iceburg with those two.

Such drama.

Lighten UP. People have decorated their bodies since the beginning of humans. Go to some remote native place and you still see it. Face paint, jewelry and giant holes in body parts like lips, ears noses.

My grandmother born 1904 was NONE of those things you said.

She was 16, with a cleft palate aka "hairlip", eloped with my grandfather out of state to marry. Was the "boss" of the family ie if she wanted a fence and he didn't, she'd get in the car and go buy a fence and put it up when he was at work. And YES she ran the house. SOMEBODY had to and raise the kids.

Other wise you end up with a society of IDIOTS who have no role models, values, and ....oh wait. That's already here.

Hang around with smart people not dumb people who only know what the Kardashians are doing or focusing on fetishes like "waist training". And by smart I don't mean a bunch of academics who THINK they're smart and complain all the time and whine. By SMART I mean happy people who got their lives together. Have jobs they like, friends and family they like and don't waste their lives drinking or getting high.

You must be young. Sex has been going on for quite a while now, and remains a mystery. The people you're describing are in POP CULTURE not the REAL world.

Why Did People Wear Powdered Wigs?

I disagree with that. I don't care one bit what other women think, and never have. I look in the mirror and think whether that color looks good on me, does the outfit seem appropriate and flatter my figure and face, etc. I don't think about whether another woman OR a man would like it. If I like it and think it flatters me, I assume others will have the same impression, whoever they are. In other words, I try to be the best ME.

I've always been that way.

Since regardless of all the advancement and woman's rights, ladies are still, and will probably dependably be, esteemed for their looks and judged on their looks to an unendingly more prominent degree than men. Men are judged on status and cash, ladies on looks, paying little respect to their own particular expert or different triumphs. Men will dependably be normally attracted to lovely ladies, it's equitable science - from simply looking after them in the city, to possibly giving them an exceptionally cushy way of life. A lovely lady will dependably appreciate consideration and every one of the advantages it brings, hence heaps of ladies not normally "honored" will go through the motions to mask it and outwardly improve their hopes to attempt and get somewhat nearer to that pined for status of being wonderful.

I truly think! one thing that annoys me. Who cares on the off chance that you are not excellent all things considered? You may not be excellent all things considered, but rather I am certain you are lovely within. I like ladies that don't change the way they look since they need to look more excellent. I am absolutely fine with a ladies' normal look, appalling or not. For whatever length of time that she has a decent heart and is pleasant and kind to individuals, I'm fine with her. Fundamentally what I'm stating is I don't care for fake individuals (for this situation, ladies).

I can't even believe waist trainers exist in this day and age, considering many Victorian women displaced their internal organs because of tight corsets. Much was written about it and eventually everyone realized it was an unhealthy practice and they fell out of favor.
My general impression is that the women who wear waist trainers are not really that into history. They probably have no idea the history of it and think it is something they 'discovered'.

They don't have to be in to history, they just need to get some advice from actual professional trainers. Post a question to a forum, even.
