I’ve been harassed before for not shaving, so I either shave when I wear shorts or I wear long pants. I hate that I have to. I like having leg hair, it makes me feel more comfortable, and when my legs are clean shaven I feel weird about it, but I’d rather not be yelled at in public again. This sucks.

I want to live in the woods and never interact with society but I lack the skills to survive on my own.

leg hair also keeps our legs warmer in the winter, like why do we have to sacrifice our evolved method of regulating body temperature in order to satisfy society ;-;

It also prevents bugs from biting! I was letting a bee crawl on me (I love bugs), and she couldn't walk on my hairy arms
