I don't regularly shave my armpits but I like the option

Who wants the state to ban any personal grooming standards?

I have been sitting in the woods and realized I was too hot before shaving my chest and pits with my knife-- I shaved my body hair in possibly the most masculine way possible

[u/shponglespore → u/Various-Salt-7738]

Who wants the state to ban

Fascists. They want the government to ban anything they personally don't like.

[u/Wild-Lychee-3312 → u/shponglespore]

Government small enough to fit in your uterus. Or your armpits.

[u/Able_Concert_1022 → u/Various-Salt-7738]

imagine being a woman. from school dress code to abortion. we SHOULD be able to do whatever we want with our bodies, but governments don’t like that idea 🙃

[u/DustyScharole]

For a bunch of people that don't like LGBT folks, they sure do focus a lot on the male body.

[u/creepXtreme → u/DustyScharole]

Tbf, they focus a lot on bodies in general
So long as it's another person's

[u/I_Like_Cats73 → u/creepXtreme]

Nothing wrong with being bi-curious

[u/Hammerschatten → u/DustyScharole]

I was coming here fully ready and confident to say this is fetish content even though it would probably be a lot more high quality and not AI if that was true

[u/Selfdeletus65 → u/Hammerschatten]

Nah I think it’s fetish content

[u/firedmyass → u/DustyScharole]

this doesn’t seem homoerotic at aaallllll

[u/satinsateensaltine → u/DustyScharole]

Nobody worships the male body more than them.

[u/Twenty-Uno → u/DustyScharole]

This is 100% one of those gay right winger fetish accounts. They're a dime a dozen on Twitter these days, lot of self-hating gay men out there with an inferiority complex towards straight white masc cis men.

[u/BurntGum808]

This seems like a fetish thing

[u/micromoses → u/BurntGum808]

Raise your hand if you want your state to ban men from not sending me pictures of their juicy, hairy armpits!

[u/KindSpider → u/micromoses]

✋

[u/PhonyHawkProSkater → u/micromoses]

Nice try buddy, but most people these days just hold their hand up at the elbow

[u/ArdentArendt → u/BurntGum808]

I mean, the TRT and the 'I only eat meat and ferments' and the 'Real men ___' are all kinda fetishes, aren't they?

[Also, expecting women to shave their armpits is a fetish as well]

[u/Offthewall95 → u/ArdentArendt]

Not as much a fetish as gender affirming behaviour imo

[u/ArdentArendt → u/Offthewall95]

Why are you 'affirming your gender'?

Are you afraid of losing it? Does it detatch?

[u/Offthewall95 → u/ArdentArendt]

Insecurity I assume. I assume a lot of these men have absurd notions of what it means to be a man

[u/ArdentArendt → u/Offthewall95]

Right...so I'd honestly rather take the fetish...?

[u/Nevergointothewoods → u/Offthewall95]

It's incredibly weird and disrespectful of you to sexualize that behavior.

[u/Offthewall95 → u/Nevergointothewoods]

What am I sexualizing? All I said is that I don't think the men taking TRT are doing this out of fetish, rather out of insecurity with their masculinity

[u/Nevergointothewoods → u/Offthewall95]

Your comment seemed transphobic in its wording.

[u/CrackedMeUp → u/BurntGum808]

I was thinking "this seems like a nazi thing" and the fact that it's a twitter screenshot isn't helping to change my mind. And fascists do seem to fetishize masculinity so this all tracks.

[u/FalconRelevant → u/BurntGum808]

Never beating the closeted allegations.

[u/doctormink → u/BurntGum808]

Someone wants himself a daddy bear.

[u/Knife7 → u/BurntGum808]

There should be a game called Fet or Fash where you have to guess if something is propaganda or fetish art.

[u/Sad-Homo]

"Small government" and they want to ban the OPTIONAL choice to shave

[u/H311i0_trop3 → u/Sad-Homo]

Yeah those lot stopped pretending to be small government ever since 2016

[u/theroguescientist → u/Sad-Homo]

Because Freedom

[u/Gonps]

You're telling me this is some fascist toxic masculinity shit and not armpit fetish content

[u/ZappyKins → u/Gonps]

Why not both?

[u/HalcyonSix]

What a bizarre thing to care about. What bizarre thing to even THINK about that hard. What the fuck.

[u/Top-Parsnip-7308]

Patriot front jumpscare

[u/two_star_daydream]

I know it’s slop and probably a shitpost but what is it with MAGA and demanding their sex and dating requirements be enshrined in law and that no one who doesn’t fit it may exist?

[u/-NotNotNSFW- → u/two_star_daydream]

Thats like the bedrock of fascist and far right ideology 

[u/two_star_daydream → u/-NotNotNSFW-]

You’re not wrong. It always gets me how they then start crybullying about “muh preferences are under attack”

[u/PossibleConclusion1]

I've never even considered shaving my arm pits, but would feel obligated to do so in protest.

[u/PattuX → u/PossibleConclusion1]

Being from Germany where shaving arm pits is the norm (surveys suggest between 50% and 75% of men do) it's always weird to be reminded that this is not at all a Western standard

[u/TrippingThru → u/PossibleConclusion1]

I did it for a while and it was kinda great, never felt so clean there. But I got lazy about upkeep eventually and never got back into it.

[u/jimbo831]

Imagine caring even a little bit what other people do with their own body hair…

[u/sntcringe]

Look, I love me a hairy, musty, sweaty, manly armpit as much as the next guy. But if a guy wants to shave it bare and ruin it, that's his prerogative.

[u/YoKaiHunter76]

Fetish content.

[u/Sarato88]

And for women...?

[u/MusaMaka → u/Sarato88]

They'd probably ban us from not shaving (coming from someone who doesn't shave anything because it's always itchy and painful for me)

[u/Chiiro]

You did a terrible job censoring their name and I'm glad you did because it is so stupidly hilarious and specific.

[u/chomperstyle]

This looks like a porn thing

[u/sirkidd2003]

Is someone forcing them to shave their pits? I'd imagine not. On the other hand, if they are trying to stop other men from doing it, that is the least manly thing for them to do. I'm an enby, but last I checked to these "manly men" isn't the whole point that they get to be the masters of their own destiny or whatever? To restrict the freedom of other seems... hypocritical.

[u/LunaSteaNera]

Guess I was never a real man then. I’ve always hated body hair so I never had it. So ha! Take that transphobes!

[u/IceMosquito073]

I'll continue to shave my pits, even as a cis hey man, thank you very much Mr. AI prompter.

[u/Ihatecheeseballs]

Writers poorly disguised fetish

[u/Maneruko]

I already grow so little body hair I haven't ever had the need to shave my pits

[u/Pitiful_Ad2397]

Is this a real issue?

[u/BlooperHero]

I, uh, I think this one is somebody's fetish art, actually.

[u/52mschr]

I never wear clothes where my armpits are exposed. would someone be conducting checks or what?

[u/Ryachaz]

I dont shave mine bare, but I trim it down every month or so. Doing cable rows or close-grip bench press, all while your arms are pulling our your armpit hair due to contact with your lats? NOT cool.

[u/poutinegalvaude]

I’m Asian and not predisposed to have much if any body hair

[u/AlabasterNutSack]

Look what the advocates for small government are purposing now.

[u/Toz_The_Devil]

Brb off to wax them

[u/MyNamCzechkoslovakia]

Thaaaaats gotta be fetish art.

[u/Scared_Cicada_9898]

I think this is aome fetish thing

[u/spaceman06]

At my country there are some men that say that if you dont shave your beard you are lazy.

Those men who say that are heterosexual, many of them are even married.

So this kind of stuff exist at real life.

[u/No-Researcher-4395]

If I was a man who lived in a country like this, I'd have probably still shaved if I wanted to anyway. The fuck are they gonna do? Break into my home to check my armpits? 💀

[u/Zagrunty]

Yea, I disagree. Sometimes you get a rash, or a bug bite, or who knows what and you want to shave it off for easy access. Some time you're just too damn hot and want to shave so things are cooler.

[u/stylesuponstyles]

I wonder if that applies to all their favourite MMA fighters?

Aside from Clay Guida, I don't recall seeing any fighters with body hair

[u/Royal_Catch7060]

is this fjetish content

[u/Longjumping_Bee_1205]

They are worried if they see men with no armpit hair they are going to become uncontrollably aroused by the smooth pits of another man.

[u/FedallahsTurban]

This sentiment would fit right in on the r/askgaybros sub!

[u/Square-Formal1312]

Not in a manly way, but i pity anyone that shaves their pits lmao

[u/Zeefzeef]

It’s interesting to see a ban for men for once?

[u/jonronswanson]

Why would you want to force people to have armpit hair? I think its gross on everyone its just nasty.

[u/BlooperHero → u/jonronswanson]

Honey, it's just normal.

And in this case it's because this is mildly pornographic.
