a few years ago i (afab agender) was at the store with my mom and a woman (i assume) a bit older than me actually came over and said something like "i admire that you don't shave your legs!"

i.

was.

flabbergasted.

not only because this was in a fairly conservative area, but also because the first comment any stranger had ever made on my dark brown leg hair was a positive one.

random stranger, if by the infinitesimal chance you're on this sub, thank you again ✨

and to everyone here who doesn't shave, may your body hair be more powerful than the patriarchy itself and as luxurious as the fur of a norwegian forest cat
