Hair Removal Reasons - So Why Do You Do It? |
Do you know that head-shaving was a punishment in France and Norway for
women who had collaborated with the Nazis during the occupation? And
that as a rule, if you wanted to humiliate a warrior all you needed to
do was just to cut his beard. Hair removal was
just like a sign. The sign of power, humiliation, age or social status.
Some of us get used to shave beards every day or remove hair
from
legs or a back in order to look more attractive... or just for hygienic
reasons, or because everyone does so. As a rule, we don't think over
too
much about the hair removal
reasons when
start to make this procedure. And if you ask someone about it, as usual
she will say that we do this because of common hygienic practice or
good looking.
It should be noted that most cultures have an ideal amount of hair
depending on a sex of a person. Some cultures stick to a strict
observance of these rules and those who violate them, may experience
problems with social acceptance. Thus, women in Eastern cultures must
remove their pubic hair, while women in Western countries can choose
whether to do this procedure or not. It should be noted that radical
feminists believe that hair removal from any part of the body is an
oppressive ritual. That's why they refuse to remove hair from armpits
or pubic area.
And while women in the west struggle with the "oppressive rituals" of
men, the men in the East try not to "imitate women". Thus, eastern man
should not remove his chest or back hair, while women are even
permitted to do this. Muslim law declares some rules concerning the
hair removal, in accordance with which there is hair which should be
removed (pubic and armpit hair), the hair which is recommended to keep
(the beard) and others. Shaving of the head is also forbidden only in
some branches of the religion. While eyebrows mustn't be removed in any
case.
