Instead of being a natural condition to be welcomed, body hair became a source of shame and a defect to be fixed.
The author of “Perfect Me: Beauty as an Ethical Ideal,” Heather Widdows, told CNN that it has been and continues to be shamefully vilified.
The majority of women feel compelled to shave these days. As if there were no other choice. Though attitudes are gradually shifting, there is something really delicate about that.
“Very manly.” Following decades of “brainwashing,” women are now reversing the trend and rejecting traditional beauty standards that associated femininity with being hairless and perfect.
Ben Hopper, a photographer from London, told Bored Panda that the armpit hair is “considered to be very disgusting, non-hygienic, repulsive, grotesque, very masculine.”
Speaking about presenting people unfiltered via his art, the photographer said he wanted to investigate why women’s hairy armpits are “such a taboo.”
Additionally, I wanted to investigate the idea of how we see beauty in popular culture. There are very strict criteria of attractiveness for women in the fashion and entertainment industries.
