Cutting your hair isn’t “hygine”. You can still keep it clean and without ever doing it. (I know this is an internet forum and it is almost impossible to come as non-antagonistic so genuine appeals are meaningless, but still I’ll try:) Consider introspecing why it feels a fully formed bush feels ‘icky’ to you.
You really seem bothered by this. It comes across as fiercly opposed the the removal of body hair. And I understand the harm i see you trying to oppose.
But ive read 4 or 5 or your responses now and it seems like you are just being argumentative. Which is missed opportunity given your passion on this
From my observers perspective, it is not doing you any favours to just keep telling people they are wrong. It would go a long way to help your cause(hair removal is not a necessity and shouldnt be a forced custom)
A haircut can be a lot of different things cant it? The comic doesn’t state what the end result will be. But it doesnt use the word shave it says haircut. Which is as much about styling as it is about removing hair. As someone who just got a haircut after 5 months of letting it go its own way, i just wanted it trimmed up and looking like i actually care about it because it was a bit wild and out of control. I didnt shave it off. Just needed to shape it to what I think looks good. I didnt do it for anyone elses benefit other than my own opinion. I did it for me to make me feel pretty. And im a hairy ass dude with a fantastic beard who has way more body hair issues than the average person
The idea is no different than if you reversed the places or situation.
But what i wish you were doing was explaining where you are coming from and why you feel so passionately about this opinion. I feel like you have a good message that is not getting out because you are just hammering away at people responding to you with stating your position instead of sharing your view on this and painting a picture of what it looks like where that position is.
If i could see what you see i might gain a new perspective. But im not new to this conversation and i can very few roads to lead me to it again.
And the problem with that is comment sections are not a public event, and there are likely more people who need to see a bigger picture than to already have an opinion. It takes work. It feels tedious and laborious to always have to teach people things you feel you shouldnt have to, but it is worth it. Its worth it to put the effort in so you can by your thankless effort be a mentor for some young or just innocent person finding out about themselves that body hair isnt something to be ashamed of even if you dont like your own body sometimes.
The effect(affect?) i think you want is one i agree with and support is one of loving thyself. Style is a form of expression. Expression is a form of communication more complex than words alone will ever be.
The bottom line is that hygiene is subjective. If a person feels that they need to shave because they come off as cleaner, that’s all it takes to consider it hygiene.
We’re gatekeeping hygiene now?
You name a gate, the internet is keeping it

Why does an unshaven man with long hair look like a street alcoholic? Asking the important questions.

It’s no different from shaving your legs or face.
