As a woman, I think it’s perfectly fine to not shave your legs/armpits/crotch if you don’t want to, but why do most assume that people are p3dos if they do prefer their partner or themselves fully shaved?

I don't think that individual men preferring shaved bodies is pedophilia, but the cultural effect of that preference at large is because there is a very strong bias towards youthfulness in women

I have never heard that that’s crazy. I think it’s okay to have a preference but just not to force that onto your partner

I don’t think that preference makes you a p3do, but I do think in many cases it is influenced by societal beauty standards, which are often pushed through advertising at the behest of wealthy p3dos. Many people’s preferences are influenced by societal expectations set by p3dos.

I’ve always thought that attitude was odd, but I don’t think it’s held by most people, just loud online militants. I understand where it comes from, unfortunately if you examine them hard enough you will find a lot of beauty standards set for women revolve around them looking as young as poss, childlike specifically. That standard has been especially front of kind lately thanks to the Epstein files making people aware just how many powerful men who had a large role in shaping our current

I read somewhere that some guys who preferred her lady didn't shave their intimate part, because for them having intimate with someone shaved felt like having intimate with a kid who doesn't have any hairs. Maybe that's where the pedo comes?

I agree. I see it a lot on tiktok and insta where a woman will have hairy legs or armpits and a man will comment that he dislikes it, which is already out of line, but then people will respond attacking him, calling him a p3do and I just don’t understand why. I’m a woman. I don’t like to be hairy. That doesn’t make me a p3do

I’ve definitely heard it but only in like extreme far left kind of comments. It’s supposed to play into the idea of how men who prefer petite, skinny, shaven, virgin, younger looking girls are creepy and basically fulfilling pedo fantasies without the illegality of it. I think there have to be men out there like that but I think the shaving thing alone is a little extreme

Society are indeed pedophiles. That being said at the end of the day a preference is just a preference, liking the look and feel of shaved skin is not inherently pedophilic because shaved women do not inherently look like children, we look like grown adults with shaved skin. I’m sympathetic to the attitude and I do think it’s important we take a very deep look at just where our standards for women’s looks and behaviors come from, but I also think the villainization of preferences is

Over the top, and weirdly insulting to women, a woman doesn’t look like a child just bc she shaves or whatever else. Ultimately I prefer men who are cleanly shaved bc I do not like the feel or look of body hair, and I didn’t grow up in a society that fetishizes men looking like kids, so i understand those preferences are not inherently evil, they just CAN be and came from questionable influences

For me, not shaving my legs is an outward defiance of Epstein and his kind. The only reason I will ever shave my legs is to swim extra fast on special occasions. Armpits and groin are optional because I don’t care about them. No one even sees them most of the time.

yup this is it. women’s beauty standards are rooted in pedophilia for sure but that doesn’t necessarily mean anyone who engages in them have bad intentions
