[lbo-talk] Re: "doing it"

[Jim Straub]

Y'know, it lately seems like everyone on LBO just really wants to talk about
sex all the time, and every possible study or debate that may raise prurient
issues people just get to finally let it all hang out.

In that spirit, I'd also like to remark on something this study covered.
Specifically, complain: only 16% of women in their twenties aren't doing
some kind of bush maintenance?  That number is so low, almost as low as
people who still support our prez (a different kind of 'bush maintenance'...
heh heh he... hey, I'm no ravi, that's as funny as I can be over
listserve).  But seriously, this is a trend I've been... uhm... noticing in
my own anecdotal experience, and am not crazy about.

I mean, I'm no hippie, but this whole social eruption of young ladies all
doing the porn star-style shaving thing, strikes me as a totally annoying
contrivance manufactured of a sudden by a media that's getting more
over-sexualized by the year (like axe body spray--- seriously, men, are we
suddenly all going to start wearing perfume just because some commercials
suggest it?  what the fuck?).  In a totally curmudgeonly post with no
plausible political relevance, let me just complain, that I have the
impression women already have enough social pressures on their grooming and
looks as it is, do we really need to extend these fads to places that used
to be kinda exempt from cosmo makeovers?  It just seems to be hitting below
the belt (aheh heh... sigh).  Booo.  16%?  Gawd.

Of course, I'm not advocating against styling your hoo-hoo... just in favor
of a women's right to choose (whether or not to do so).  And against what I
perceive as a goofy new trend about looks among people my age.
Man, this is like the dumbest thing I've ever said on lbo-talk...
