I don't really get angry. I just figure it's very few peoples business.
I tend to prefer to not have much body hair or not deal with other's body hair. On the other I've gone for 6 months or so without shaving before. I'll go swimming with legs as furry as a grizzlies.
As far as with people I've dated.. It's gone both ways. I've had guys kick up a fuss and ask me to shave. And that's all right, they can ask me for a favour and sometimes I'll oblige. And I've had a guy who begged me not to shave for many of the reasons laid forth in posts here. It's unnatural, it's infantalizing, it's contrary to feminist goals, that's ok too. It was kind of sweet even. But I still don't have to listen to anyone else.
There's nothing I do and nothing I am that it should matter to anyone else how I manage the finer details of my personal body care. Nothing even borderline like working in a formal profesional environment where you could start arguing appearance matters to clients even, nadda, zilch. Don't have any friends who are going to change how they value my friendship based on whether I shave or not. I wouldn't date anyone who thought they had the final say in any personal choice of mine.
Guess I just don't care enough to get angry. My cats taught me the fine art of ignoring someone into oblivion. As far as what other people do.. Guess I don't really care usually.
Oh wait! I confess, leg hair poking through nylons does distress me for some reason. Very odd looking to me. not quite right.
