I'm jumping back into this thread to suggest a different course of discussion... away from waxing, etc.
Over in Safe Haven, there's a really, deeply important thread in progress on the often disturbing topic of misogyny in societies around the world.
http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,13013.50.htmlI thought that in this thread, I might ask some questions about what you all think are the most empowering and wonderful things about being female...
How do you define yourself as female? Is it just a biological identity or do you think of it as something deeper or more profound?
And, again, what are the aspects of being female that you find most exciting, powerful and important?
When confronted with a misogynist/ sexist situation how do you cope and where do you find your strength?
