Listened to a podcast yesterday on abstinence + physical boundaries where the host suggested women stop shaving their legs because “When you’re not feeling good about how you look, you’re less likely to cross a physical boundary with someone.” An “added layer of accountability.”
The more I think about it, the more grossed out I am by this logic.

Yes, let’s promote women feeling bad about their physical appearance (or suggesting unshaven legs are bad) in a society that already has never-enoughness running through its very core...
all for the sake of keeping HER pure!

I heard nothing about what a man could do to make himself less physically appealing so that he stays insecure and doesn’t take his clothes off.
I turned to Luke and said “I only shave my legs like once or twice a month when they get itchy.” And he said “I don’t care”
