I disagree. I've seen my niece and my ex-girlfriend's daughter naked plenty of times, and other little girls from time to time, to me it looks very very different. Adult women usually have much more developed labia.
I could argue that it's purely contextual, but whatever, I think we pretty much understand where the other is coming from anyway. Even if they are different, I could argue that the symbolism of removing hair does have something to do with reverting women to children. In the same vein, you could argue that even if they are the same, the context of an adult woman's body nullifies the similarity to a young woman.
At any rate, even if it was just because someone preferred skin smooth and hairless, I think you are being hurtful in the way you are phrasing your preferences.
I understand this 100%. No woman wants to be told that her genitals look like a little girl's. If a woman chooses to shave her pubes, it's ultimately her decision. If that makes her feel good about herself and her body, that's wonderful. What I take umbrage with is the notion that one is inherently better than the other. I prefer pubic hair, and if it wasn't so maligned by men my age, I'd be a lot less bitchy about it. It bothers me that some men and women think that a shaved pussy is cleaner or somehow better than one with hair. It's simply a personal preference, nothing else.
I understand that some women feel maligned for choosing to be natural and others resent pornographers or others pushing women toward doing something that they feel is unnatural... I personally don't think it's that big of a deal.
In a larger sense, it is a big deal simply because women feel pressured to live up to so many ideals that it can be quite tiring and quite damaging. It's not just shaving your pussy, or fake tits, or being 110 pounds, etc. etc. It's all those things together plus more that bother me. The idea of there being one very narrow standard for being an attractive woman is hurtful to most women. Men have to contend with some of the same, but, at least for straight men, it's not as intense as for women.
But this is almost another topic in itself.
Nobody cares that it's currently en vogue for men to shave their faces. We don't accuse women of being pedophiles for preferring men who are clean-shaven, and for men who shave we don't accuse them of looking like children.
The only difference to me is that most people don't have the idea that beards are dirty, unhygeinic, or just plain disgusting. People like or don't like beards, but it's not as intense and almost hateful as the debate about pubic is. Your point is valid, though, and I can see the parallel.
you would think that. :tongue:
Hey look, I can make you a hot gallery too, baby. :tongue:
