A. Because She’s a Slut

Posted on | December 15, 2011 | 63 Comments

Q. Why does a woman get the “Brazilian wax”?

Full pubic hair removal, according to Herbenick’s studies, is most common among sexually active women . . . who are not in monogamous relationships.

Like pierced bellybuttons and tattoos, this is a trend popular with hussies, harlots, trollops, tramps, vamps, floozies and whores.

That article was linked by Professor Glenn Reynolds, who can’t be judgmental like that, because it would probably be a civil rights violation or something. He’d have the entire UT Womyn’s Studies Department picketing his office if he dared express disapprobation of “sexually active women . . . who are not in monogamous relationships.”

And they don’t call ’em “Volunteers” for nothing. IYKWIMAITYD.

The fine Southeastern Conference tradition of trash-talking one’s football opponents — 37-6, Roll Tide! — certainly extends to the opponent’s womenfolk. For example, everybody in Tuscaloosa knows why Auburn installed artificial turf at Jordan-Hare Stadium: To prevent the homecoming queen from grazing.

By similar token, while I don’t want to say that all Tennessee coeds are wantonly promiscuous, there are certain words you can’t spell without “UT,” among them “slut” and “put out.”

Do Tennessee fans take umbrage at such ribald putdowns? Of course they do — and that’s exactly my point. If promiscuity did not inspire an instinctive moral horror, then there would be no offense in saying that UT coeds put out like Pez dispensers.

Contrary to feminist dogma, the stigma attached to “sexually active women . . . who are not in monogamous relationships” isn’t a learned response inculcated by The Patriarchy, but rather a reflection of our innate sense that such behavior is contrary to the social good.

Our basic sense of right and wrong can be ignored or suppressed — evil can and is “normalized” by our popular culture — but the moral sense can never be entirely eradicated. However much society tries to pretend that Good and Evil are not valid categories, our moral sense will find expression in some way.

The feminist campaign against “slut-shaming” is thus doomed to failure, because being a slut will always be a shameful thing, no matter how strenuously the political correctoids try to prevent us from saying so.

And if any feminist is offended by my saying so — good. You deserve to offended and often, and by someone who knows how.

UPDATE: Roxeanne De Luca asks the key question:

Young women of the world: have you all gone mental?

Indeed. The insecurities on display — “Will the guy who picks me up in a bar be disgusted if I my nether regions are not ‘well-groomed’?” — are a perfect illustration of how sexual “liberation” has resulted in a new slavery: Women now groan under the yoke of sexual expectations created by pornographers.

I found this to be a refreshing change from the political crap, especially the news about the GOP circular firing squad.

But maybe Stacy can Google bomb “full pubic hair removal”, and get the numbers back up.

Enh, even US Marines trim down their pubic hair, for the simple reason that if they’re out in the field and go for four weeks or so without a shower, it smells a lot less bad.

Perhaps there is a comfort issue involved. I shave my balls for that reason. I’m not a slut. I just don’t enjoy itchy balls, so I keep ’em clean. I also keep my gooch nice and neat for the same reason. I have enormous genitals though, so maybe none of that applies to the delta people.

Stacy, surely you aren’t suggesting that we adopt a more islamic approach to dealing with womyn by banning the Brazilian Wax job outright and imposing a Burqa upon all women who might be other than grazers or well passed their sexual primes? There’s a good Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that makes clear the benefits of the Brazilian Wax job.

Hmmm, maybe this calls for a Rule 5 Post. Haven’t done one of those in quite a while.

“…being a slut will always be a shameful thing, no matter how strenuously the political correctoids try to prevent us from saying so.”

Think of how women acted in the early sixties vs. how women started acting in the late sixties. The median point of what constitutes being a slut has moved (at least in the western world) has moved dramatically.

I’ve chatted with a Brazilian wax girl; she was explaining about how down in Brazil there aren’t places to go to get Brazilian waxes like the places that are here in the United States now, because all the girls know how to wax and do it at home. They usually start waxing regularly as soon as pubic hair starts to appear, and there’s not an insignificant number of men that wax as well.

Stacy’s not trash talking about a school. He’s targeting the University of Tennessee.

It’s like Lincoln’s retort to court rulings against him: he would ask, “How many legs has a dog if we call his tail a leg?” Invariably the answer came back, “Five.”

Lincoln would then explain, “No, he has four. Calling a tail a leg does not make it one.”

In fairness to UT, they had to resort to the illusion because no hardware store in Knoxville carries red light bulbs.

This anti-bodyhair fetish seems like recessive pedophilia to me.

I responded at Haemet. Needless to say, I fail to see why you don’t take men to task for behaving so badly as to expect sex on demand from freshly-waxed women.

The assumption here is that there are no married men who like their women . . . highly groomed.

As for sluttitude, it’s not like Stacy hasn’t (1) been around, and (2) blogged about it.

I’m not saying he was fast in his college days, mind you–only that the speed of light is still trying to catch up with him . . .

Oh, we’re allowed to mention that? Good.

While I do think that women who change their bodies to accommodate the sexual whims of strangers are mental, fact is that men are behaving quite badly – first, by not attempting any sane sort of chastity (like waiting until you know each other’s last names), and second, by demeaning their sex partners. Both are lowlife behaviours, and, personal responsibility being just that, things for which they are responsible even if women allow it to happen.

Newt Gingrich = Slut

Sarah Palin Not A Slut.

Men act like that because it’s a genetic trait passed on from ancestors who passed on the trait of at least trying to have sex a lot. That’s why their genes got passed on so much . . . they had sex a lot.

Ain’t nothing we can do about the urges. But most men manage to suppress them but let’s remember for every jacka$$ philanderer, there’s a floozy who doesn’t care that he’s married.

Grow up and read a book about biology or anthropology or even just one about primate sexual behavior instead of looking at things from a purely emotional or personal point of view.

Actually men generally are very uncomplicated and prefer fidelity over promiscuity in a wife/mate (unless she becomes a screeching harridan and refuses any and all overtures for physical contact).

Women on the other hand are out for scalps and to score points over their sisters to boost their egos. Or to get revenge for some imagined slight by their soon to be ex.

I think that pedophiliac tendencies can be discounted for most men who admire/prefer the “smooth” look.

I’m glad to have gotten your attention, Roxeanne. My reaction was, of course, to the entire article linked. The provocative sentences cited were merely the spark to light the fuse by which I exploded the whole schema.

There is a cycle of causation involved here: Men look at porn and develop expectations; women attempt to meet those expectations; the attempted replication of porn sensibilities in real-life relationships does not induce happiness; lather, rinse, repeat.

Well, I am not such a domineering personality as to insist that my wife consult my preferences in such matters. And certainly the preferences of others are entirely their private concerns.

You might need to take a better look at the talent pool out there now.

You’re suggesting women are attempting to “meet expectations,” well, they’re not doing that carrying around a spare, nor by carrying so much junk in the trunk.

Chicks are porking out, and they desperately need to get their act together.

I think it’s more a sign of the fact that no one wants to mature anymore, but depravity certainly plays a part in it. After a while, normal sex becomes boring for those who are obsessed with it, so, to keep the thrill factor high, you progressively [pun intended] get more and more perverse. It like taking drugs.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the smell, it has to do with parasites. Shit, do you think if you went four weeks without a shower a little bit of public hair would make a dime’s worth of difference?

Woman hating much?

Incidentally, the idea that we are “wired” a certain way and thus excused from acting better is antithetical to the premises of civilisation. We’ve advanced this far (beyond being animals or living in a dictatorial hellhole) precisely because we put aside our primal, animal urges and understand that as humans, more is expected of us.

All body hair removal was originally linked to body lice prevention — the first women to shave their legs were French prostitutes for that very reason.

OK a serious answer to that point.

What most men miss is the (curiously enough) biblical imperative to “adore” their wives.

Masculinity requires eating a proper, omnivorous diet, and genuinely adoring your wife. The former is necessary to prevent “ball shrivel.” The latter is “why.”

And the ability to adore shouldn’t require artificial aids (makeup, surgery, brazilian wax, shaped eyebrows, and on and on it goes until the original person is nearly erased).

Hollywood seems to be entirely made of that stuff, and I could never stand cheap imitation.

December 16th, 2011 @ 5:45 pm

Maybe. I get creeped out by it. Like I’m supposed to be admiring what appears to be underaged female flesh. So I basically ignore that aspect of fashion, and consequently, women who indulge in it. But it isn’t just women.

The biggest joke on men I’ve seen in years is that stupid “back razor” for shaving the back. Men who would engage in that seem far more like Rush’s “new castrati” to me.

As a long-time rock musician, I’m far from “prudish.” I just do not like this flirtation with pedophilia, especially when there are so very many better ways to attract notice.
