Full bush in a thong: the changing discourse about body hair and femininity

You all adored the mini bus version of this episode, so let's deepdive the 'full bush in a thong' discourse for 30 mins to truly underpin this changing discourse towards women's body hair. I’ve noticed an increase in the discusion and potential rage bait online amongst men debating whether or not women should have body hair, yet on the flip side, we are seeing mainstream love and normalisation of body hair amongst the girls - particularly the cis het community online. This episode is a JOURNEY, discussing the where the notions of femininity=hairlessness derive from, the correlations between race, class, and body hair, and an interesting study conducted in the 2010’s that I think can underpin the entire ‘full bush in a thong’ discourse today. For real, grab a cup of tea and a snack.All my lovesocials: @whatzaraloves Study mentioned:http://www.breannefahs.com/uploads/1/0/6/7/10679051/2011_embodied_resistance_fahs_delgado.pdfCommercialisation of choice quote from Susan Bordo:https://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&lr=&id=yt0qnwdZRCcC&oi=fnd&pg=PP12&dq=body+hair+women+&ots=QprmcqYfqr&sig=9ZWbqm55ioF3-lFWXl13GQevNd4&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=body%20hair%20women&f=false
