    As a woman with hairy pits I really don’t get the whole fetish for them. Like I just let them be hairy because of feminism from college encouraging me to reject stupid beauty standards then me promptly not giving a shit from then on.

      Anything that’s considered dirty or forbidden is going to have a fetish attached to it. That’s why lots of people have foot fetishes but almost nobody has a hand fetish.

      in my case I’m pretty sure it’s because I was shipped off to daycare way early by my parents and imprinted on a Portuguese woman in a year well before it was fashionable for women to remove every visible hair on their body from the nose down 🤷

      (yes I lived in an area with a ton of people of Portuguese descent and yes the women of such descent tend to be hairy, among other clues which lead me to suspect this)
