Like I said. That's unfair and ignorant.

A true gentleman would never comment on a woman's appearance.
They wouldn't be seen dead with a hairy woman either.

Refusing to shave your underarm hair does no more to empower women, than a man growing a beard makes a man more manly.
I can't help but feel your decision to grow your arm pit hair came with the feminist package you bought into along with the veganism.
I'm prepared to stand corrected, but it's all so typical. And not entirely necessary to tick all the feminist boxes to be a real woman.
