    I don't get it??!!

    I don't like the towel but it is being worn by a man. Men generally have chest and arm hair. Sometimes it is thick, sometimes it's matted. That's the way nature made us. But hey it's a man...it's not a boy or a woman...what else can you expect? Why does it offend anyone?

    You know, women also have armpit hair, the way nature made them...

    Yes, I knew that...you don't get into your 6th decade and miss those kinds of details.

    I would bet, however, that if we could trace the cultural roots of women shaving their armpits and legs we would find that it originates with women themselves way back in history some time. Cosmetic embellishment and ornamentation usually does.

    Think of what a uproar we would have if women had matted red chest hair though!

    Actually I have some 18th C. English sources of women plucking underarm hair to control oder.
