My Hairy Dilemma | GUEST VLOG

New guest video! Gen re-evaluates her thoughts on body hair in response to Emer O’Toole’s hairy pitted talk show appearance, and the comments that surrounded it.

“Apparently it’s now considered extremely bad form, let alone completely unfeminine to have body hair. What a travesty! Apart from the fact that I think we need to re-prioritise our media “news”, it made me question my choices and why I do what I do.

I hope my video motivates others to do the same, whether they continue on as usual or change what they do - please question your decisions every so often. Too many of us find ourselves trapped by our own choices, far too late in life.”
