i think this is exactly what the ‘debate’ around shaving is - at what point does it become a woman’s choice to shave? when is it conforming to gender norms? very interesting line of thinking

someone’s choice? and how much of our choices are bc of things like that and not from a genuinely independent decision? idk!

I will say it gets very annoying when some people decide that you shaving is solely because of gender norms and no other reason like sensory issues

Ok I agree but it’s crazy to think abt bc I grow my hair out to wax, and I do it because *I* likd it, but when I have to grow it out really long, I do get kind of embarrassed if ppl can see it
