Pubic hair removal has serious consequences

Shaving your pubic hair has risks

When was war declared on pubic hair? It must have happened sometime in the last decade because the amount of time, energy, money and emotion both genders spend on abolishing every hair from their genitals is astronomical.

The genital hair removal industry, including medical professionals who advertise their specialty services to those seeking the “clean and bare” look, is exponentially growing.

But why pick on the lowly pubic hair? It has something to do with cultural trends spawned by bikinis and thongs, certain hairless celebrities and a desire to return to childhood

Is it a misguided attempt at hygiene or being more attractive to a partner? Are we so naïve as to be susceptible to fashion trends and biases?

It is a misconceived war. Long ago surgeons figured out that shaving a body part prior to surgery actually increased rather than decreased surgical site infections.

No matter what expensive and complex weapons are used [razor blades, electric shavers, tweezers, waxing, depilatories, electrolysis] pubic hair, like crab grass, always grows back and eventually wins.

In the meantime, the skin suffers the effects of the scorched battlefield.

Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles left behind, leaving microscopic open wounds. Frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth. But it causes regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area.

When that irritation is combined with the warm moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest of bacterial pathogens.

These include roup A streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus and its recently mutated cousin methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA).

There’s an increase in staph boils and abscesses. Incisions have to be made to drain the infection, resulting in scarring that can be significant. It is not at all unusual to find pustules and other hair follicle inflammation papules on shaved genitals.

Constant pubic hair removal can cause cellulitis (soft tissue bacterial infection without abscess) of the scrotum, labia and penis from the spread of bacteria from shaving or from sexual contact with strep or staph bacteria from a partner’s skin.

Some clinicians find that freshly shaved pubic areas and genitals are also more vulnerable to herpes infections due to the microscopic wounds being exposed to virus carried by mouth or genitals. There may be vulnerability to spread of other STIs as well.

Pubic hair provides a cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion and injury. It’s the visible result of puberty. Surely something to be celebrated.

Feminism Has Been Hijacked by The Bourgeois!

Feminism crushes workers, identifying freedom with paid labor.

by Hester Eisenstein

And, by identifying freedom with paid work, mainstream feminism offered the perfect cover to multinational corporations exploiting women’s labor in free trade zones.

In short, feminism became the language of capitalist modernization.

Feminism Seduced: How Global Elites Use Women's Labor and Ideas to Exploit the World, by Hester Eisenstein weaves a compelling account of how the central ideas of “hegemonic feminism” have legitimized the corporate capitalist assault on the working class in the United States and on small farmers and workers, both urban and rural, in the global South.
In this way, she argues, mainstream feminism has served as unwitting handmaiden to the capitalist class. Situating her analysis of mainstream feminism in a broader context of the economics of capitalist globalization, Eisenstein connects changes in the gender order to the rise of neoliberalism.
By hegemonic feminism, she means that certain liberal feminist ideas have become part of the “commonsense” of U.S. culture. In particular, she argues, the notion that paid work, in itself, represents liberation for women is widely accepted.
Second-wave feminism included a strong tradition of socialist/anarchist feminism, third-world and women of color feminism, as well as radical feminism.
But the dominant ideas of the movement emphasized individual achievement and the possibilities for self-actualization inherent in the competitive, free-for-all marketplace and political system.
Liberal feminism addressed many different issues, but focused overwhelmingly on women’s right to compete with men on equal terms in the labor market.
While purporting to represent all women, mainstream feminism has primarily advanced the interests of women with higher education, so that after forty years of feminist activism, there is now an enormous class divide among women workers.
To understand how and why this has happened, Eisenstein traces the history of feminist ideas and politics in the context of the fundamental restructuring of the global economy and the rise of the neoliberal political order.
Taking globalization as the framework for describing this “sea change” in the world capitalist political economy, Eisenstein identifies deindustrialization, the rise of export processing zones in the global South.
Also, the growth of the service sector, the explosion of the financial sector, and the employers’ offensive against unions as key to the transformation of women’s relation to waged labor.
In the North, globalization entailed a precipitous decline in men’s wages, marking the end of the “family wage” for men who had often provided sole financial support in traditional male breadwinner marriages. At the same time, the rise of the service economy opened up a huge demand for low-wage, female labor.
In the South, the “new enclosure” movement threw women into an expanding labor market. Insofar as mainstream feminism had lauded paid employment for women as a route to escape the oppression of patriarchal marriage, feminism in the United States helped to create a new pool of labor that capitalist employers could use to cut costs.
Women’s willingness to enter the workforce in massive numbers allowed corporations to resist the pressure for wage increases.
And, by identifying freedom with paid work, mainstream feminism offered the perfect cover to multinational corporations exploiting women’s labor in free trade zones.
In short, feminism became the language of capitalist modernization.

Hatred of Women, as a Clinical Disorder

Curing the hatred of women  


By Poregbal, Poran

The best therapy could be in form of having these men sitting besides women who have been beaten, tortured, and slashed due to women hatred disease. With use of forces these men should not be allowed to talk, but only watch women talking about how they are able to claim their rights.

Sadly there is an illness in our world that has gone unnoticed or maybe unrecognized. This illness has all the characteristics for clinical disorders, obviously with various symptoms.

This disorder is terminating, worse than any cancer we have seen, and more dangerous than any flue. This illness has been around forever yet despite all the research and technology in the world we still have no real treatment or cure for it.

I would like to call it this very ill-fated and killing disorder called: Women hatred. Taliban is only one sample of individuals where the symptoms of women hatred are evident and self explanatory.  Your anxiety just increases when you watch scenes of how women are being treated by Taliban and all other groups alike Taliban.  Women hatred exists in many places in the world, more and less.

This illness will be found in places where lack of knowledge about human body and human race are real factors. This illness when uncured will cause infection and damages the other organs of this body. We can be sure that the disease of women hatred develops typically in the darkness of illiteracy, poverty, war, and segregation rules.

This illness is mostly among men who are scared of women and what women present. This disorder causes paranoia, fear, and rage. Women hatred is a devastating clinical disorder that kills millions of women each year around the world; however the issue is mostly mixed up with religion and culture. What we miss is that women hatred has its own culture, the culture of hate and rage.

There are many treatment options for this illness and I am sure human organizations in the world are doing best they can to eliminate this sometimes epidemic illness.

However the best treatment options for these men who are badly ill and who will victimize women is not jail. This illness can be cured when you forcefully put these men in schools and show them videos about human body. The best prison for these men who are victimizing women would be places where you show them how women give birth, how female physical body grows, and how females are strong entities who will not accept this way of treatment.

The best therapy could be in form of having these men sitting besides women who have been beaten, tortured, and slashed due to women hatred disease. With use of forces these men should not be allowed to talk, but only watch women talking about how they are able to claim their rights. Taliban is only one group of men among many others who do not know where they come from. They should be reminded how they occupied their mother's womb and how they entered this world where they are spreading this disease. Iranian women, Afghan women, and many other women in the world know how these men are ill, badly ill. This illness needs a real cure.

My main interest is mental health and healthy relationship. I write mostly about how to explore mental health as a main source of having peace within our families and our communities.

I would like to promote peace, happiness, multicultural counseling and a healthy language in our daily life. I believe that we have to expand our understanding of mental health by viewing the cultural values into our ways of dealing with the world.

I like to emphasize on helping our youth as well as our next generations to integrate within whatever cultures they live in.
