smoking is ugly. As bad as not shaving her armpits. Therefore we should not start. This sums up the message Portuguese Cardiology Foundation trying to sell to the young Portuguese. Will unsightly smoking? Well I do not know, nor do I care (odd that they choose to appeal to their egos rather smug in their rationality work?) What strikes me is that they have chosen not to shave as an example of something disgusting. And compared with platitudes such as spitting, picking your nose, scratching throw eggs or fart.
Is it really so horrible to see some armpit with the hair? Really?
I remember the day that I saw the beautiful sister of my friend Kalle Fredberg accompanied her long black dreadlocks with hairy armpits and I felt sooo cool (I think all my friends admired) Sure, he was 16 years and despite calling me punk, until then I had never happened that there were certain standards of beauty "unquestionable" that I also followed. Or you might choose to break them.
See announcement reminded me of something I once heard that a Swedish feminist: "Today there are few things as provocative as a woman who does not mind his image" . Although it is something to think Sweden in the Latin world is this more true than anywhere else. Or at least I actually surprised to discover how I felt more relaxed about my appearance while in Sweden compared to when I lived in Spain. And here in Uruguay, not waxing my flatmates has raised around our neighborhood to think we are lesbians. Which I do not care at all (and really makes me a bit of fun) but I think it is something that speaks volumes about their view of women. Found via
