As A Straight™ it remains absolutely baffling to me the number of straight women who act repulsed by men's bodies. Literally what are you getting out of this*
(*the weird pretense that you're not horny for d*ck and/or straightness; interpret as you will)
I don't care enough about the Today Show to investigate further but apparently there was some kerfuffle in which the phrase "hairy man thighs" was used in a derogatory and body-shaming manner?????????
Absolutely unhinged slander against one of THE most compelling parts of the male anatomy. Please send all the hairy man thighs my way since you obviously neither appreciate nor deserve them
You say "hairy man thighs" in a tone that suggests I'm NOT getting distracted while watching men's soccer because my lizardbrain is going awooga like a dude with the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition
You. You understand me
Exhibit #43719 of people calling anyone who doesn't perform Femininity™ correctly a ~pick me~ as if this is somehow a win for feminism lol. Oh no, I'm not repulsed by the bodies of people I sleep with and I find it bizarre when other people claim to be. Must be my internalized misogyny showing.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway what I actually think would be a win for feminism is if women would examine why they do this. Is it performative disavowal of desire because society shames them for expressing any hint of authentic sexuality? Is it genuine repulsion toward sex with men and/or sex in general? In either case, sad and concerning! You deserve better than the chains of gender roles and/or compulsory heterosexuality!
Also, as a general matter of human decency, I think body-shaming is bad and that you should be nice to the people you sleep with. We all agree that men who claim to be attracted to adult women whilst acting revolted if she has a speck of hair anywhere below her eyebrows - or whatever other aspect of her existing in a normal human body as opposed to being like. a disembodied concept of Female™ - are the most joyless erotically impoverished pathetic losers imaginable. Call me crazy but imho women should not emulate the behavior of the most boorish and boring brand of straight man.
