Does the appearance of chest fuzz on a man make you hide behind a bush, or do you want to bury your hands into that luscious body hair? It seems that in general, we don't particularly love it.

So, is this image at all connected to our discussion on the relationship between hair/hair styles and gender?
ReplyDeleteIt's just a funny comic about the way men's body hair is generally seen in our society (totally a matter of opinion, of course.) Boys begin with none, progress to growing some, and then in this case, the girlfriend shaves it off because our society does not value body hair on men. Other societies do, of course, but this is definitely directed towards Americans. The image is not directly related to the relationship between hair and gender because women (generally) do not grow chest hair, but I think that it is a good representation of societal influence upon trends, preferences, and standards of appearance.
