I just jumped out of the shower and this thought hit me like a ton of bricks.  WTF is the purpose of body hair on women?  I mean really!  It’s not as if we live in the days of the hunters and gatherers anymore. The hair on my body serves no purpose.  It’s not there to keep me warm. It doesn’t stand on end to alert me to danger or make me look more menacing than I actually am for the sake of self-protection.  It’s nothing but a time taker! I spend ten minutes every day removing all the hair God felt compelled to grace me with.

Every day, I wake up with hairs sticking out of my legs, poking out of my nose, and growing sideways from my chin.  Why?  God, I have to ask what sick pleasure you get out of watching me shower and plow my legs and maintenance my nether region?  Are you up there laughing as I take the tweezer to the two inch chin hair that grew back overnight just so I can get up the next morning looking like a catfish?  Why is there hair growing on my toes and knuckles, let alone around my boobs?  The thought of it is disturbing on so many levels.  I know men don’t like playing hide and seek in tufts of hair in certain strategic sites.   Again, I ask why?

Don’t get me wrong. I want hair in spots where having hair makes sense.  I want it on my head, for example.  I want eyebrows and eyelashes.  I mean, I don’t want to look like an egg, but for God’s sake, I spend over 60 hours a year shaving. Yes, I did the math!  I could think of a million other things I’d rather indulge in than grazing my legs so I don’t have to feel the stubble catch on the fibers of my jeans.  It’s disheartening when you run your hose because the hair on your legs is as coarse as porcupine quills.  Imagine what that could do to a poor guy’s face.

Well, now that I have that off my chest I feel better.

(I mean the weight of the thought is off my chest, not hair. I really don’t have chest hair). 

Thanks for letting me share the latest issue that was plaguing me.  Now I am going to head to Target so I can buy more razors and replacement blades. After all, I have to get ready for tomorrow.
