    dear PETA,

    this ad is really upsetting.

    you’re implying that pubic hair that shows/grows “outside the pantyline” (which is normal/natural for the vast majority of us gals) is “unattractive”….this is the kind of shit Gillette and Nair would pull to hock product, and the sort of cultural beauty-standard malarkey that is contributing to a generally worrying trend…12 and 13 year old girls demanding full bikini waxes and all the shit that I think we can all basically agree is absurd.

    fur, bad. yes. i’m with you.

    but this ad is perpetuating really unhealthy attitudes. fear and unhappiness in the body-hair department is becoming more and more prevalent in young girls (and all women), because they feel they have no alternative. most feel like they’ll be judged if they don’t tow the party line, and an organization like PETA has more cred (you’re somewhat cool, right? you’re forward-thinking people fighting for a noble cause, right?) than a corporate hair-removal/razor company.

    despite the strides of progress made by the generation of women who came before us, we’re slipping backwards. the beauty standard is becoming a more and more difficult struggle for young women. ads like this are part of the problem.

    PETA, if you care about animals, and their health and overall happiness index, take your human animals into account alongside the rest of them.

    compassion for all.

    yours,

  • STOP SCROLLING AND MAKE MONEY

    So I convinced my mom to buy me the work at home system at http://bit.ly/RUVHCM because it was cheap as hell, and I wanted to try making money online. I made $190 in like 3 hours. It seemed too good to be true so I stopped doing it to see if they’d actually pay me.

    This arrived yesterday:
    So I spent the past 9 hours grinding hard yesterday and made $850… this is surreal and I am so fucking excited. You guys need to break out your credit cards or get your parents to do it and buy this http://bit.ly/RUVHCM (I know I posted this yesterday but it’s my good deed of the week to keep reblogging it, plus I found a cbs article talking about it. Get it while the getting is good! Article: http://bit.ly/RUVHCM )
