I don’t hate Bush at all. She’s original, and some of her tunes are catchy, I just think that she’s taken having a unique vocal style a bit over the line of being silly.
Wait, the pubic hair or the president?
Or the band? Or the flora?
Or the beer?
That’s Busch
Could we stop trying to resuscitate that man’s image? He was a war criminal just like every other president before and after.
I don’t like bush, so I shave my own and help my partners when they choose to do so. Everyone wins.
Same. Shaved or well trimmed avoids a mouthful of pubes.
Feel free to grow it into a 1970s afro, but I’m not putting my face down there and weed wacking your untamed garden to the promised land.
My partners public hair will never stop me from ravishing their genitals. Never.
Is it that much that it’s now public?
I’m confused. Are we talking V Bush or W Bush?
Or HW Bush?
Or the band Bush?
V
My partner will grow everything out, full pits, full bush and I’m like “Yes! so sexy!” Then she’ll decide to shave everything and I’m like “awwww yeah!”. Then back to the bush and I’m again stoked. She’s beautiful and sexy no matter what.
This is really sweet <3
She is a real asset.
And OP is a real keeper!
I’m assuming you don’t mind the razor burn moments in between either.
I’m a woman who is basically fine with bush but if it’s totally untamed just logistically I am going to have to pause from my eating you and/or swallowing you down a lot to pick hairs out of my mouth. But if you’re fine with that and I’m into you then I’m more than fine with that too.
I learnt from watching cats lick themselves. I just cough up a furball later.
I think anyone that makes blanket generalizations is deceitful, what a coincidence.
Exactly. Only a sith deals in absolutes.
I absolutely approve of afro-sized bush to bury my beard in /shrug
You just made a blanket statement too ;)
I’m not sure that I have, actually — blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.
I’m not sure that I have, actually — blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.
None of the definitions I can find for blanket generalizations require deceit.
It’s simply a fallacy defined by inductive conclusions.
You unintentionally and in good faith made a paradox under the misunderstanding that deceit was required.
You don’t need to intend to be deceitful to be deceitful, just like you don’t need to intend to kill someone to kill them.
The world is not sweeping absolutes. Painting it as such always obscures some truth, this post is no different.
Edit: I’m just wrong here, I was misusing deceitful.
think anyone that makes blanket generalizations
That’s a sweeping absolute, but this conversation is obviously going nowhere, have a good one friend.
Edit: that wasn’t fair of me. Let me rethink this response.
Edit2: I recognize the paradox here, I think I was using deceit incorrectly. I accept your responses, thanks for being cordial.
It’s a good thing the person in the video specified she’s taking about men who have the audacity to judge women’s bodies and body hair publicly then.
Since she’s talking about a specific subset of men, it’s not a blanket generalization.
Yeah that context is important, the title is enough to make me write the whole thing off.
I understand why clickbait strategies are common, I am just not the common denominator that they’re aimed at. Am I judging a book by its cover? Yes… but I’d also judge ‘Notes on How to Skin a Baby’ by its cover so… idk.
Comparing men that don’t like women’s natural bodies to murdering and skinning a baby sure is a choice you made.
It’s ok if your kneejerk reaction was to be defensive. It’s also ok to re-examine the post and realize that just because you are a man doesn’t mean they’re talking about you.
Broad sweeping generalizations are ALWAYS wrong
I wish statements like that made LLMs explode.
YES I fully agree
Nah man. If you hate how it comes naturally, then you don’t actually like it.
But I’m a middle aged woman, so I think the ‘male gaze’ and its judgemental subjugation can fuck all the way off.
I don’t care what you think your qualifications are. These three things are true: I love my girlfriend, I am sexually attracted to my girlfriend, I hate pubes. Whatever you think is irrelevant.
“I love you… But only when you go through extra effort to modify yourself for me.”
When did I say that?
I hate pubes because I don’t like hair near my mouth in general. I don’t ask my girlfriend to shave, she does it because she sees my own reaction when a beard hair gets in my mouth.
Like I said, blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.
Edit: I used deceitful incorrectly. There is no intent to deceive. It may be deceitful, it may be unintentionally misleading. There is nuance here.
If a beard hair getting in your mouth isn’t a strong enough reason for you to shave your beard, then it’s not a deal breaker/ you don’t hate it.
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that your feelings between your own hairs and hers are similar.
Hold on, what?
If a beard hair getting in your mouth isn’t a strong enough reason for you to shave your beard, then it’s not a deal breaker/ you don’t hate it.
This is a ridiculous statement. Disliking an aspect of something and putting up with it for other reasons is such a natural thing it makes me wonder if you’ve ever styled yourself in any other capacity than troglodyte.
For example my girlfriend likes my beard. So I keep it. Because she likes it. You see how that works, cave person?
You see how that works, cave person?
I see how you can’t distinguish between preference and hatred, yes.
I recognize the paradox here, I think I was using deceit incorrectly.
Huh, weird.
Imagine thinking this is a gotcha.
‘Hehe, this guy admitted he was wrong about something - fucking owned.’
You’re a child, go sit in the corner.
I’m torn.
I don’t want hair in my mouth, but I do like the idea of playing in the jungle.
Part the lips delicately with your index and ring finger, while your middle finger is inside. If you have two fingers inside (middle and ring), use your pinky instead. Your chin should be resting on your palm
Keep the bush out of the valley… Have both worlds.
big fan of the iraq war ig
Men are against hedges. However… a nice topiary can be appreciated.
Bush? No, thank you. I am an anti-imperialist
Well they are both war criminals who should be tried as traitors, and the whitewashing of their legacies is deeply shameful to say the least.
Not knocking the bush but the broader trend of shaving/waxing has reduced the overall rate of pubic lice infestations
I’ll grant that, but you know how some ladies prefer a man with a beard? It’s sort of the same mentality. Now to the ladies, who like beards, I ask you: Do you prefer “wild homeless man” or “18th century naval ships captain?”
…
That’s what I thought, so don’t think I’m saying “ignore grooming.”
For real?
So historically, lice and other parasites were a major vector for diseases like typhus. Particularly when a group of people were forced to sleep in close proximity, such as soldiers in barracks, refugees in tents, a community in a cold climate that would cram in to a single winter shelter, or travelers in a bunk house.
Shaving hair in general was an important method for reducing transmission, as it reduced the space they could hide in. Regular washing of the body. Clean beds with frequently replaced fillers (like straw) and bed linings laundered regularly and between separate users.
One reason many early modern soldiers are depicted as clean shaven was because it became a mandatory practice in many armies to minimize spread of disease. As regular washing, separated sleeping quarters, and regularly washed bedding was not practical for such a large group on the move. Even now, many militaries will shave new recruits to the scalp, to make sure they don’t bring any hair borne parasites in to the barracks. (Later on face shaving became extra important as a way to ensure gas masks would seal properly)
Lots of ways this was mitigated. It’s fairly rare these days due to most people regularly washing, getting parasites like bed bugs or lice exterminated the moment they’re found, and beds that are much less suited to harboring them.
But a lot of the hang ups around body hair are cultural hangers on from a time when this was a much more significant issue. In all likelihood it would become an issue again if society as a whole slackened on many of these practices at once.
don’t worry, we’ll always have eyelash mites
If I have eyelash mites and pubic lice, can I get something for the middle of my body so everyone has a friend?
Nah, you just need to get a partner to help you migrate them… or get REALLY flexible
I’m not that flexible, believe me, I already checked.
There are body lice. They latch on to clothing instead of hair.
Nice! Perfect.
I’ve read about it on more than one occasion
Is it wrong to prefer clean shaven now???
If you watched the video, she is very specifically talking about men who are commenting about women’s body hair publicly.
You can have a preference without telling random women they should shave because it’s your personal preference.
I have a preference for trimmed or hairy, but I don’t tell people that they must quit shaving because I find it more attractive.
wait I genuinely thought she was talking about president bush and I tried making a joke lmao
Maybe I’m the weird one for always reading all of the comments in a post haha. OP posted the video in a comment and it was immediately clear that this lady was talking about men judging women’s body hair publicly.
The Bush jokes seemed like low hanging fruit that no one could resist.
How did you watch a video? I only see an un-attributed blurry screenshot.
OP linked it in a comment when they first posted and encouraged people to watch it:

Who the heck calls body hair bush is my question then?!
Having a preference for A over B is not the same thing as hating B.
On October 23rd, 2017, [Twitter] user @BravoCoolee made a post that read, “Twitter the only place where well-articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say “I like pancakes” and somebody will say “So you hate waffles?” No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.”
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/no-bitch-dats-a-whole-new-x-wtf-is-you-talkin-about
Sadly the twitter is not the only place that happens. It’s everywhere
no, but considering the types of females that have no hair down there tend to be prepubecent (or have alopecia,) or the women who are concerned about early detection of STI’s, it does imply a kind of coding about the men who prefer it, rather than having no preference.
Females and men.
I was about to agree with you but I reread it. Women is used as well, and the sentence that uses females is about their biology not choice.
Still not accepting the argument about the implication on men’s coding though.
It’s supported farther down as a indicator that the man sees women as equating to children, or sees the woman as permiscuous. I promise you that in either case, i’m calling out mysogyny.
There was no need to use “females” at all in that sentence structure.
It’s literally the subject of the thread. taps title also, how would you describe a non adult person with two x chromosomes? There’s no such thing as a prepubescent “woman.” That’s an oxymoron.
