Woman Hasn’t Shaved Armpits in 18 Months to Challenge Social Taboos

Emer O'Toole , a 28 - year -old Irish journalist has created Internet buzz after she appeared on a morning show and expressed his hairy armpits and legs . Said the confident young woman she has not shaved in 18 months , since he decided to challenge the notion that women should shave their body hair to be happy and feel attractive.

This is true not only Emer women in the world who do not shave her armpits and legs , but in modern society , women's body hair is one very big social taboo . But the graduate student from Dublin started examining her relationship with her ​​body and her body hair and realized she was first started shaving when he was 14 just because it was expected of him , not because he was had to . So he decided to make himself the main protagonist of an experiment to challenge the other things society of female beauty . He just stopped shaving his body hair for the last 18 months .

As you can surely guess , Emer O'Toole has had a tough time getting used to starting her new look , and the way people stared at him every time he raised his arm . Even the subway , hanging on the handlebars to keep his balance , or waving cafe waitress , had to confront the girl disgusted and surprised looks all the time . He admits to feeling uncertain on many occasions , because it showed some outfits her hairy armpits a little too much , but then he started examining where her confidence and self-esteem comes from . ' If it was my looks , and my self-esteem is linked to that , it means that I realized I need to find other sources for confidence . Your looks are not with you when you wake up in the morning if you need to put your make - up first. And they stay with you as you age ' , said the woman confidence " This Morning " show by ITV .

Emer said he is almost completely comfortable with her ​​hairy armpits and legs now , and do not think twice before showing it off on live television , when asked by the host of the show . He added that most men are not bothered by its hairy appearance , because they too have hairy armpits , but it is usually women who are offended by its natural appearance . He is not letting his detractors affect his confidence in any way , though, and said that even though his experiments were only meant to last a year , he found he liked his body hair and do not believe he had to reach 26 before even seeing what it looked like in its body . He can shave it to a point but he wants it to be a choice , not something he would do .

In modern society , girls are conditioned to shave their body hair and pluck their eyebrows , because if they do not , they end up beginning bullied by their peers , although nature nature has given them body hair . I would think a woman has the right to do what he wants to do , but with views of society in this matter being what they are, do women actually have a choice ? In a poll created by ITV morning show , 80 % of voters disagree with Emer and thought she should shave her armpits and legs .
