Reading a Bill Bryson book I was suprised to find that he is another American terrified of Body Hair on women. Is this caused by some historical Trauma do you think ?
I think this, and an obsession removing all natural with body smells, is something the americans have as a legacy of being the earliest consumer society. They all fell for the marketing men who weekly looked for another point of angst for which they could sell a cure.
Just my own view.
Bryson has a beard, doesn't he? Maybe he thinks hair=men, smooth=women.
Lil O'Lady, if you ever come across an old book called Crazy Salad by Nora Ephron (she later went into movies and wrote When Harry met Sally) there's a piece in it called Dealing with the, uh, Problem which is brilliant. It's about the creation of the first vaginal deodorant and how women had to be made to think they stank.
