People used to be filthy and die much earlier, public health measures have greatly increased lifespan. And a lot of the chronic ailments we have now, <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2011/05/kissing-and-cancer/" rel="nofollow">per Ewald</a>, are likely due to infections as well. Researchers frequently find health/lifespan differences between the rich/educated (more prone to SWPLdom) and the revolting masses that they can't easily explain (often attributed to stress), behavior exposing them to pathogens seems a candidate. Maybe there's a downside to our cleaner environment in that we're more prone to allergies, but on balance we live longer.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-87394958546746959722013-02-14T13:27:43.815-05:002013-02-14T13:27:43.815-05:00"And what about female underarm hair? Are you..."And what about female underarm hair? Are you a fan of that too? Should women allow their underarm hair to grow out naturally?"<br /><br />That's a spastic, spergy way of approaching it. That all cases are exactly the same, so an answer here LOGICALLY requires the same answer there.<br /><br />In general, though, just do a Google image search for female armpit hair and you'll see it isn't that bad. We rarely see it like that these days, and so debating it is mostly abstract, hypothetical, and clueless. But it's not as bushy as guys' hair. Women are far less hairy overall.<br /><br />And for all we know, we're missing out on subtle babe pheromone production. Kind of like if we genetically engineered our food to provide basic nutrition but to possess no smell whatsoever.<br /><br />"And guess what, women really can be "gross down there"."<br /><br />Sure, but pube removal doesn't prevent that (if anything, makes it more likely).<br /><br />Guess what: if a girl really does have problems and smells gross -- don't go down there. So simple that animals would know what to do. Only modern autistics who live in an abstract virtual world wouldn't know how to respond.<br /><br />"But it seems almost like you are trying to rationalize your own public hair/female body odor fetish."<br /><br />Wrong again -- it's the pro-shaving side that is insistent and inflexible, recoiling like small boys when they see pubic hair. And obsessing about what it would look like, before you've actually seen a girl naked. Those intrusive thoughts, inflexibility, and a womanish hysteria about "ewww gross!" are the hallmarks of OCD.<br /><br />Guys who find hair removal weird are more simply puzzled by how, when, and why it started, and that there seems to be something unwholesome about so many women and men obsessing over and compulsively altering their pubic hair. You get weirded out when everyone around you is so insecure.<br /><br />We don't have the tell-tale inflexibility, obsessive thoughts, insecurity about hygiene, etc., that the OCD group does. Like, it's no big deal at the end of the day whether the girl we're with, or looking at an image of, is totally natural, somewhat altered, or fully altered.<br /><br />We've got our preferences, but it's more like for hair color, height, body shape, etc. Just because a girl doesn't meet our exact standards for every trait doesn't mean we're going to freeze up and go limp like the faggot OCD-ers.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-1524515068852294392013-02-14T13:05:11.372-05:002013-02-14T13:05:11.372-05:00"How do you know reducing female public hair ..."How do you know reducing female public hair some how eliminates "useful" bacteria and leaves people more prone to infection?"<br /><br />Part of the function of pubic hair is to trap bacteria away from the sex organs themselves. Removing it removes a key barrier. Also, the mechanism of removal leaves lots of tiny invisible scars that present further opportunity for infection.<br /><br />But you're missing the main point, which is generally don't fuck with nature -- it got there by surviving millions of years of natural selection. You don't even have to able to articulate what specific benefits it provides, and what specific harms would result from its alteration.<br /><br />For example, another perhaps even greater function is to send pheromone-like signals to potential mates. Ditto armpit hair. That would explain why it starts growing out around puberty, and why those "sweaty t-shirt" studies show that men can unconsciously detect the scent of ovulating females, and find it more attractive.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-79217950084815453962013-02-14T12:48:27.556-05:002013-02-14T12:48:27.556-05:00"I hate bristles scratching my pecker."
..."I hate bristles scratching my pecker."<br /><br />Natural hair isn't bristly. You're talking about stubble-y regrowth after removing it. That, or you shave your own hair, making yourself too sensitive.<br /><br />Males seem to be removing their hair for a different reason. Looking through their answers and discussions, it's kind of hygiene-related. Mostly it fits in with their broader body image insecurity. Like, "will this make my junk look bigger?"<br /><br />Well, it is however big it is, and girls want to feel it inside them, not look at it. Shaving, trimming, etc. is more to boost the guy's fragile ego when he takes long looks at his own cock in the mirror or by tilting his head downward.<br /><br />Just like shaving chest hair to see the results of bench-pressing. It's not about being athletic and capable of performing physical feats -- sprinting, leaping, aiming / throwing, hitting, etc. It's just about "how do I look naked?" It's pure faggot narcissism.<br /><br />And again, ultimately boiling down to insecurity from having so little experience with girls. Girls aren't fixated on whether you wax your chest or not, as long as you're fit.<br /><br />Simple real-life experience teaches that and relieves a guy of any adolescent insecurities he may have had about body image. But for the Millennials, who have so little experience interacting with other people in real life, they're staying stunted longer in that "what will girls think???" phase of middle school.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-7100119967146108822013-02-14T12:14:31.286-05:002013-02-14T12:14:31.286-05:00Enema.

Exterminate the pathogens!"<br /><br />But most bacteria aren't vicious pathogens. For all you know, killing off so many bacteria has selected for stronger germs, both through elimination of the benign right away, and gradual adaptation of the nasty ones to whatever you're throwing at them.<br /><br />Millennials are a whole lot more sickly than '80s kids who ate food out of the dirt at an early age. One of the hallmarks of OCD, especially w.r.t. hygiene, is that they don't evaluate how well they're doing as a result of their rituals. All signs may point to them being worse, but going through the rituals just makes them feel more secure, so they keep on messing themselves up.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-85932443093648138672013-02-13T19:31:24.381-05:002013-02-13T19:31:24.381-05:00"How do you think it relates to a horticultur..."How do you think it relates to a horticultural social structure?"<br /><br />In their economy, gardening is easy enough for women to do -- it's not large-scale agriculture. So women do the productive work, while men loaf around and occasionally beat each other up. So in the female mind, men are useless and bothersome.<br /><br />We've had more of that since the entry of women into the workforce, but that doesn't seem to be very strong by itself, or else the '80s would've been full of bitchy sassy women.<br /><br />I think it has more to do with how independent women are, not economically, but security-wise. When crime rates fall, women feel less of a need for men as protectors -- not like having to beat a guy up, that's only occasionally.<br /><br />But more like as a form of insurance or deterrent -- go out to a public space with one or more guys, and the odds that some punk will fuck with you drop off a cliff. If you're all alone, you can be easily isolated, and the predators will go after you instead.<br /><br />Really, when was the last time you heard a girl refer to a guy as "my hero"? Doesn't have to be a violent vigilante -- even the guys in Footloose get called heroes for just standing up to other high school dudes.<br /><br />On the male side, with little role left as protectors / deterrents, they're just loafing around, albeit plugged into simulated club fights and tribal warfare.<br /><br />The female mind now sees men as less necessary, both because the threat of violence in everyday life has fallen so low, and because they're now such drifting loafers.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-18603038938979582162013-02-13T19:04:49.537-05:002013-02-13T19:04:49.537-05:00I have to say, reading up on "New Germ Theory...I have to say, reading up on "New Germ Theory" and parasites made me feel more Nazi.
