Oh you have no idea how happy this video made me, thanks! Not only is it our first video response but it's so well thought out, eloquent and concise! Definitely with Jenn on marking down the fetishism of youth and the intersectionality between sexism and ageism for a future week's theme.
It's interesting how 9-12 seems to be the age many women start shaving, basically as soon as, or even just before, puberty hits. Quite upsetting really. - Becca
@ThosePeskyDames Hey Becca! Thanks for the response. Like I told Jenn, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a video on that. And you're right that period between 9 and 12 really does something to young girls. Maybe something to explore further?
@Emmagizer For sure! I'm sure I've read some statistics somewhere too about how children's attitudes and self image start to differ around that age too, how if you ask 6 year olds it's pretty much an equal split who say they want to be president/prime minister, or an astronaut etc, but by 15 that split is heavily weighted to boys.
I think we're going to start taking guest vlogs to put up on the weekend too so if you wanted to you'd be more than welcome to maybe do the first vid on this? - Becca
Ace video, really interesting! I really admire how honest & open you are, this was a lovely response :) So on board with what you say about our society's fetish for youthfulness, definitely would like to do a full length video on that some time.
@ThosePeskyDames Thanks Jenn, I was so excited when I saw that you responded to this! I would absolutely love to see a video on society's fetish for youthfulness. Until then, I look forward to seeing the new and interesting videos that you girls come out with. :)
Kudos to you Emma, very well put, even though the video was not entirly for me, but u r doing the you tube dream, where u can let people know ur thoughts, and not just read, but see the actual person tell there thoughts.
Most the girls I know shave cause they dont like the way hair feels on them, other than there head. lol, but i digress. again, kudos, and thumbs up chicka
@Emmagizer As always, since i have lived in chicago, i have watched ur vids, and will always support your channel. Thumbs up forever, oh and I am getting out of the army soon.
yes there are photos submitted out of revenge, but not all of them are. many are submitted by users themselves who are exhibitionists, which is where i took the degrading/horrible comment as slut shaming. it was early, so i'm sure i was reading too much into it.
while i agree that women do police other women all the time, i'm wondering what happened this morning with your facebook status about how disgusting it was that people were submitting nude photos to isanyoneup (policing other women). i think it was deleted on your facebook. i am glad that you choose not to police body hair, but few hours earlier weren't you just policing sexuality? i'm not trying to pick on you i'm just wondering what happened / what your opinion is on slut shaming
@pamptrsn88 I don't think you read it all the way or else you read too deeply into it. Which is okay. I posted that status (no idea how it disappeared) saying that it was degrading. I felt that it was offensive to both men and women. These pictures are not posted by the actual person, they are posted by someone else (usually out of retaliation). So I don't see this as policing other women. I'm not entirely sure why you might see this as slut shaming either.
So well put! On a side note, did you see the Gillette ad about how women using mens' razors was harmful, that they needed to use special "women's razors" (which are conveniently more expensive, and pink!)
@mego0827 Thanks, girl! I didn't see that advertisement. I'll have to check it out. I use men's razors all the time. I feel like they work better and I really don't think that they're harming me. I think it's just a form of social control. You know?
i would disagreee. yes society tries to make women look younger, but not prepubescent. more like adolescent.

@pamptrsn88 I just don't feel it's right to exploit or humiliate people in that way, that's all.
