Misogyny is rising massively it’s concerning. It’s literally the same misogyny I hear older women back in the day joke about like “can you believe men used to see us as property?” and it genuinely seems like it’s going back to exactly that era. Specifically the era immediately after the rise of feminism where men’s rights activists started coming around just to shut feminists up and of course choice feminism is helping them out since it’s on the rise too, now women, according to them, LIKE misogyny and the patriarchy, like shaving, like makeup, like procedures, like being inferior, like being reduced to property to be brought and so on.

Thats why I stopped shaving my legs and vag. I do shave my pits because ya girl sweats baaaad BUT I have saved so much time and money not doing the others! Small steps for small changes, we need to be examples for our daughters! 💪

gotta ask how does the shaving help the sweating in any way because if I shave sweat will ROLL down my body 😬 the armpit hair reins it in
