"What It’s Like to Be a Really Hairy Woman."

"For hirsute women, the appearance of thick, dark hair on places not usually deemed 'feminine' kicks in during puberty, and it affects 5 to 10 percent of American females...."

She should be comforted by the knowledge that Esau is an hairy man.

How much snow is on Mt. Baldy?

Wasn't that your thing? Althouse would blog a "history of" country and you'd report the coverage.

As the father of a handicapped kid, I can relate. It can get better; it can be good; but it ain't easy.

Wish I could find that old pic of "Miss Afghanistan", immediately post 9/11.

I think it's been expunged.

Anyway, think loads of muscle, gobs of body hair protruding from everywhere.

Including all those waxing places.

The Toli-bahn probably threatened someone with death unless they took it down.

I'm curious how much of it is an ethic variation. Mediterranean peoples in general are very hirsute; it would make sense that the women would have more hair within that range. Asian women, OTOH, were consciously selected for hairlessness going back to Imperial times. That means that the guys don't have a lot of hair either - and sometimes they want it.

Approximately 50% of women are hairier than average. Details at 11.

The question is, if you want it permanently removed, must an ACA-compliant policy pay for it?
