OMG sexism!

That's just down right offensive :dry:

 

Sigh

I hate how women are automatically "ugly" if they are seen with hair anywhere else besides their head...

I'm a cis woman with some facial hair (Mild neck hair and mustache) and I usually never shave it off (It's hardly noticeable anyway). Surprisingly, having hair actually ups my self-esteem since I see myself being more masculine in gender expression.

I've never actually had anyone in public say anything about it, and if they think It's weird; well, that's their business if they keep it to themselves.

But my mom can't stand it and will always make me shave it off. Usually I say no, so she'll do it without my consent.

I hate these ads that try to tell women that they're ugly if they do this or that too.

 

Wait. So she like straight up comes at you with a razor and just shaves you?! :eek:


oh and yeah sexist shit. I saw this one commercial with Mystique from X-Men bitin' into a BK burger, and then she morphed into some random dude and the words "Man up" appeared on the screen. Disgusting.

 

She's done it when I was asleep! it's creepy as shit lol

But yeah, sexist commercials = fail

 

I also a cis woman who has facial hair and I've literally felt so pressured by society to remove it that I gave myself chemical burns using nair on my face. I mean seeiously!!!!
I agree
Tv ads are so sexist

 

Of course ads are sexist. Didn't you know that only hairlessness, silk-skin, 25 inch waist, 38 inch bust and hips and blonde hair, blue eyes and make-up can possibly give value to women? :dry: Ugh. The most beautiful girls I can think of all have facial hair to wax off but even if they didn't, I would find them beautiful. :tantrum: I HATE SEXISM. :tantrum:

 

Veet Pulls Stupid, Sexist Ads After Viewer Backlash

The article for anyone who is interested. The videos of the US version can easily be found on youtube. I saw this on Tumblr a week ago, was offended as hell.

Basically they are saying that shaving isn't enough. Waxing is the only way to remain womanly. Which is BS. I don't understand how the commercial was going to convince people to buy veet. If you are already are self conscious, why would being insulted motivate you.?

 

Charlie, you're back!

 

This is a bit off-topic but NEVER use Nair on your face or on sensitive areas. It's soley meant for legs and underarm hair, you should never use a chemical wax on your face.

 

When I see a sexist commercial I just tend to bang my head against the wall and just question who in the hell approved for this commercial to air.. :bang:

 

That's gross.

The sexism, I mean. Who knew hair was such a big fucking, world-is-ending deal? Man. I dunno if I'll ever really understand what women deal with but gotta say, really sick of shit like this.

 

My dad yells at me if I forget to shave my legs during the summer and it's a little hair he even calls it fur :tears: , they need to stop this

 

This reminds me. okay so I don't shave cuz it's a pain and i'm fine with hair. Now before i came out as a guy, this one time(couple years ago almost) my mum saw my underarm hair and said i looked like a monkey. lol like wtf.

and it's funny cuz her and my bro at that time were sayin shit about how havin underarm hair makes you sweat more or sumthin blah blah blah, and yet apparently guys can get away with it and no one gets on them for it. truly messed up. people should be able to shave/not shave whatever and not get dogged about it.

 

And complaining about little stubs :tantrum:

 

Kat has not seen the ad.

I have noticed the sexism in various ads.

 

Wow, that's terrible! I get how stubble on legs are undesireable, but I shave only once a week, so I do have some stubble, and I don't find it gross or ugly, and it doesn't make me any less of a woman. It's a part of me.

I don't think they thought it through very well. I'm sure they didn't mean to be sexist and offensive but I agree, it's just horrible! :dry:

 

That is really bad. I haven't seen the ad in question, as I haven't actually watched TV in nearly six months, but damn, the whole female-body-hair-hatred thing pisses me off to no end.

 

Haha my dad once said to me that I look like a goat and that my (now ex) boyfriend was with me just because he had no self-esteem. Ouch.

Anyway, I rarely shave my legs and yes, these shitty commercials have lade us believe that we are gross if we don't alter our physical appearance in a regular basis.
Not just ugly; gross. That means we have to even pretend that we don't have any hair naturally.
