Reply #19: Thank you for your very nice thread

I have shared my personal preference for something that is (at least currently) outside the norm in this society, namely body hair on women (I am a heterosexual male).

I find rather sad some of the reactions people feel free to express about something that is a matter of personal taste which they happen to dislike, such as "gross" and "disgusting". I would expect such reactions to this at a place like Free Republic or any conservative web site, but I find such reactions to be very unbecoming at a progressive place like DU.

Here is a current thread in the Lounge in which this is being discussed.

Here is a discussion titled The Politics of Body Hair in the Women's Rights forum, which has been going on for two years, in which I have made a couple of posts expressing my preference.

I consider my liking for this which is outside the norm in this society to be no different from the fact that while most people are attracted to people of the opposite sex, some people are attracted to people of the same sex, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
