Feminism, Body-Hair Activism and Anti-Capitalism. Over the past year there has been a resurgence in body-hair activism and discussion within the feminist community.
From the appearance of Those Pesky Dames – a video-blogging collective – on Cherry Healey’s ‘How to Get a Life’ on BBC3, to Emer O’Toole’s spot on This Morning, to the Armpits4August campaign launched over the summer which encouraged women to stop shaving in order to raise money and awareness for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome charity Verity, the image of the hairy-legged, bushy-pitted feminist has returned unapologetically.

Having body hair will literally turn you into a dude, according to Veet’s new ad campaign. I seem to remember a time when sexism in advertising was subtle enough that critiquing it involved some skill — or least a keen eye. It was fun, truth be told, to tease out the sexist subtexts of so many of the commercials that inundate media consumers every day.
