1. Hairy armpits on women are ugly. I don't care that they are acceptable in other parts of the world. This is America, and in American hairy armpits on women are ugly.

2. I don't want to be preached at by Nike or any other corporation that is trying to sell me something. Just try and sell me something. Stop trying to shame me, inform me, educate me or change the way I (as an adult woman) think and act.

3. I am an active woman, haven't worn anything but sports bras in over 20 years and will not ever buy one from Nike.

4. The model in the Nike ad is a singer. I am more offended that Nike picked a singer as a model instead of a female athlete.

5. Nike can suck it.
Every culture has norms and mores. If women don't want to shave, that's their business. If I state it's a big turn off because I find it gross, that's too damn bad.

Some cultures have interesting habits in the bathroom, too. So?

Next, it'll be "embracing" their facial hair. Beards and moustaches on females will be in vogue.

Hey, I'm a lunch lady!!!!!! OMG...mustaches? Seriously? Thank God, I never had that problem, not even ten years past menopause. I'll bet they also wore hair nets and white nylon uniform dresses? Oh, the humanity.

When I go into work in a couple of hours, I'll look closely at the upper lips of my co-workers and see if you're right! Though a lot of them are high maintenance and probably wax.

I brokered a deal with Mrs Roscoe Conkling many years ago.
She agreed to continue shaving under her arms and both legs.
And I agreed to stop trapping her under the duvet, breaking wind and shouting " incoming. "
So far our agreement has held pretty well.
I'm thinking of outsourcing my negotiating skills to the UN.

Terrible! Next thing you know, they will be showing men with hairy armpits and chests, and unshaven legs. Oh, wait....

That's quite the incentive!
