No man will want you. Excuse me, sir?
You're so brave. I would never go out like that.
You look like a werewolf.
SHE HOWLS
Brilliant!
Do you have a massive bush?
You don't need to know that.
Like, 50 years ago it would be really weird if you DID shave.
Back in the days, guys actually used to love just pubic hair on women.
If we'd seen a guy without a bit of a bush there,
I bet we never said anything.
No, cos you don't want to be rude.
I think porn does create unrealistic standards.
"Let me dictate your landscaping!"
"Dictate!" Dictate!
What is this Brazilian and pyramid? What's this, what are these things?
Well, from what I've seen, they are all bald, sometimes a little...
Landing strip. ..strip.
I've had hundreds of men message me about my body hair.
Any time that there's anything outside of that very specific norm,
it's seen as a fetish.
There were a lot of people that were like,
"I want to see your hairy pussy." What?!
Especially when you speak to older guys... It's more normal...
They like the tuft!
Little bitty muff.
Eurgh! How can you go out like that?
Well, you first have to put on shoes.
Why would you do it?
Very easily! I love it when men say things like this cos I'm like,
"How do YOU go out like that?!"
My manager from my last job was like, "How can you come to work
"in culottes all the time when you have such hairy legs?"
He literally was not aware that women had any hair,
he thought we were like seals or dolphins.
I was like, "If you give me a really big raise,
"I will think about shaving my legs."
I definitely think there's a huge amount of shame placed on
female bodies in general.
I will happily pull out my beard comb
and sit there on the Tube, brushing away. Respeck it. I respeck it.
I sat there doing this, plaiting my beard here.
One thing I do like, if it's summer, so you're not wearing a jacket,
and it's quite windy, you kind of feel it...
The wind blowing through them.
No man will want you.
Well, your brother didn't mind, and neither did your daddy.
Good God, what man is gonna want me? Give a shit!
I'm not even straight, so that doesn't really concern me.
I think a lot of men are jealous of my beard, so that's why they...
I was thinking this cos they are like...
They're bare baby-face brothers out there.
I went out with this guy that was like angry at how
hairy my arms were.
Believe it or not, all the relationships I've been in,
they've actually focused on my personality.
Look at them. "You should get rid of the hair!"
If you're so disgusted by my body, why the hell are you with that?
Do you know what the worst thing I find is?
The men that are attracted to me, they are so undercover about it.
You're WITH me, so you're chatting shit.
You're chatting shit - you clearly want this!
Do you know what it is, they fear that if they're attracted to me, then they're gay.
He's like, yeah, I think it's such a turn-on that women can feel
totally, like, comfortable with exactly what they want to look like.
I've had men be shocked as to how normal they found it.
That's different to, like, "I want to see your hairy pussy!"
Why are you so hairy?!
I got it from my mamma.
It just grows, man, I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah, cos I was #BornThisWay.
I've gone through puberty, so there's no going back.
I mean, I didn't really like my beard, but then it grew on me.
So, it could be to do with, like, a disease or condition
that someone has.
I mean, for me, like the reason why I have a beard is
because I have polycystic ovary syndrome.
Part of it is I've got a hormone imbalance, I just have more hair.
So, as much as I tried to remove my facial hair to fit into society,
like, she grew back with a vengeance. I love it - "she".
I remember my mum used to say that it was baby hair,
but I'd be like, "Mum, I'm 33! It's not baby hair!"
"I ain't no spring chicken!"
I've even named her Sundri, which means beautiful. Come on!
If I could grow a moustache, I would. Like, a full-blown one.
I get hairy nipples. Yeah, everyone does.
Oh, really? Yes.
Toes and feet and fingers. Arms are really hairy, armpits, my back.
It's just going to come back anyway.
Yeah, but, five in one hole. With a vengeance!
Imagine going to a tree and being like, "You have leaves."
What the frig is that?! What are you doing?!
Why don't you just shave?
Cos I don't want to. So simple.
Fam, I haven't even got a razor, bubs. Ingrowing hair. Ingrowing hair, you're playing yourself.
Oh, the itch!
So, men that don't know, it can get really itchy!
Then your self-esteem lowers, and here comes companies,
"Half-price off laser hair removal."
Why haven't you made yourself perfect for me? Yes.
Oh, I've done everything, I've shaved, I've tweezed, I've bleached.
Epilating, which is where a machine turns
and it literally grabs every single hair.
Even my mum suggested that I got laser hair removal on my muff.
Piercings, tattoos, love it. But the threading, I cry like a little...
I actually once waxed my arms, and it just felt so wrong.
My body is a wonderland, I don't want a rash on it.
Sounds like a theme park. Is that so much to ask?
So you're a feminist? Correct!
I ain't no feminist, don't...
Yeah, all the time. Also, yeah, it IS a political statement.
It's like, why wouldn't I be?
How hairy I am bears no relation to my political standpoint.
Yeah, but I'm a feminist because I believe in equality,
not because I've got a hairy vagina.
So it's all right if a man keeps his hair,
but if a woman does, then she's either...
A lesbian... A bit of a tomboy.
Butch. Feminist.
Or she's lazy.
Doesn't really care about their appearance.
It's too much of a long ting! Yeah.
That's disgusting!
Yeah, I've had that. So, imagine if all women in films
and adverts had complete body hair, no-one would blink an eye.
So much of the media then feeds into society
and it sort of goes round in a cycle of us judging each other.
I think all women should do whatever makes them feel happy.
So, just be the judge yourself. No-one else gets to judge you.
The human body, it's just a bit disgusting anyway, and that's fine.
How COULD it be disgusting? How can something so natural be disgusting?
Would you call a flower disgusting?
My body is a world, and my hair and flowers, what are you going to say?
Ask yourself, am I doing this for myself, my hairy, lovely self,
or for some knobhead boy
that's...got the clap?!
