How the hell could they even make a final cut when they didn’t have razors?

[–] evening_push579@feddit.nu 58 points 1 week ago

The door is there dad

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Appreciate the humor but of course razors existed in those days. The cutthroat kind at least.

The saddest thing about the story of Jesus is that he never got to see Margot Robbie's extremely hairy armpits.

I stopped shaving mine years ago because it seemed like I was developing an intolerance to every razor blade.

I told people it was cause I am a feminist.

I also was sorely disappointed in what grew in.

My whole life I thought if I let it go natural I'd have this majestic thick black beard under there. Something to be proud of, you know?

However after it grew in, it's a medium brown. And the hair is actually kind of fine and fluffy. And not dense. And

I guess this is the feeling men have when they try to grow a beard and find out they are one of the ones who can't do a decent job of it.

I wanted something to make people uncomfortable. To challenge their preconceived notions of womanhood.

Instead it just looks like I have a little brown, thin, soul patch under there.

Very sad.

Not even worth going sleeveless for.

Same reason most men shave haha

FWIW I’m amab and I have a similar soul patch of armpit hair, so you’re at least at parity with a dude. Just the way it be sometimes 😭

I also can’t grow facial hair, but that’s a separate question

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For whatever it's worth, your comment still challenges me. I know it's a "me" problem to prefer shaven, but...I struggle with it. So, at the very least, please know that you thoroughly confronted me with your womanhood.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That's all I wanted to do. Thank you

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wonder if it gets thicker as you get older, the way beards do? Beard hair doesn't just start up, it gets thicker over time.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Well I'm 40. I can say ,in general, i seem to be becoming less hairy as I get older.

Hair only grows on front calf parts of my legs now. None on my toes like it used to. I asked around And my lady friends my age and older say they have experienced that too.

My guy friends say they are pretty sure they are getting hairier. Apparently ear hair is a thing they struggle with now.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Front calves are shins but I like it.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm a 35yo dude and getting hairier and hairier to a point where I feel like my whole face will be covered in beard hair in a decade, it's ridiculous. Nose and ear hair too, I try to keep up but I keep getting hairs in my ears which itches and tickles and hairs up my nose which is the same. Also very hairy toes, and fingers and top of my feet are getting there, of course armpits, arms and legs are already a lot.
I'd so much rather not have any of this even though I like my beard.
I was the least hairy (other than head) dude I knew until my mid 20s, still have thicker head hair than almost everyone I've known and met, though it's already going grey at an increasing speed but still just as thick.
Beard is odd too as I have every color, texture and amount of curliness that can be. White, blonde, both pale and darker ginger, brown, black, smooth, sandpaper like, straight, wavy, curly, jagged etc.

Armpit hair grows slower, thinner and more grey with age. Both genders.

Perhaps we associate bushy armpits with older people because they just don't care to remove it for longer periods of time

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As someone else who doesn't shave the armpit, my experience is similar. Less of a soul patch and more of a threadbare patch of dying grass though.

I don't know if this is any consolation but I've got a long and bushy beard. I'm so hairy that if I walk naked in the woods people will report big foot sightings.

My armpit hair is still thin, though.

Since it was important to the director for accuracy, did Margot take the time to grow them out, or might they have used the equivalent of merkins? And if so do such things have a separate name? (Edited for spelling)

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

One of my favorite insults is to call someone a merkin

The Wuthering Heights director Emerald Fennell said it was “unfortunate” that a scene showing Margot Robbie’s hairy armpits did not make the final cut, because women in period adaptations are often shown with clean-shaven underarms.

Robbie’s character, Cathy, had “extremely hairy armpits” in the 2026 adaptation of the novel, but “unfortunately the scene that we see them didn’t make it in there”, said the director.

Cathy having unshaven pits “was so important to me”, she said, adding that she often wonders “where are the razors that these women are using?” when watching Jane Austen adaptations.

“They’re all kind of hairless like eels. I’m like: ‘What’s going on? It’s completely mad.’”

I think something pretty normal and understandable that people – who are used to being bombarded by other, very vocal, people's paraphilias online – will immediately and erroneously assume is something sexual.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

yeah id have just assumed the hair didnt make the final cut bc patriarchal bullshit. i dont see how this is a shitpost so much as just a shitty thing that happened? i figure we judge and control women's bodies more than enough day to day that we dont really need it in the shitpost sub. idk, just struck a cord with me this time i guess.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You're just assuming that (practically unfalsifiably) when the director suggests nothing of the sort, when footage gets cut from movies literally all the time for every reason under the Sun, and when there's shit in that movie an order of magnitude more provocative (see: the skin room) than a woman with hairy armpits (let alone historically accurately).

So you had her grow out the hair, you filmed it, and then decided not to include it in the film? Missed opportunity to start a new very specific fetish.

[–] LaoiseFu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

to appeal to

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, that is a new fetish alright. Never heard of anyone into that before.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just my own personal opinion: there’s such a thing as too much authenticity.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Should I tell you that women naturally have hair on their armpits

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m an older American, and in some ways a product of my times. Many of us were heavily influenced to find women’s armpit hair unattractive. I know, and respect, that others feel differently. Hence, “just my own personal opinion”.

gp comment knows that, they were saying that sometimes such authenticity can be excessive. For example crooked teeth was also much more common back then, but we aren't rallying for studios to start adding CGI crooked teeth

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

God, no. Prosthetics of course.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

God, no. Cast more people with jacked-up teeth.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

I really feel like I've seen a clip of her from somewhere with hairy armpits, it was cool. I'm not in a strong opinion for or against, completely fine with either and both can be attractive, cool, nice (in both a sexual and non sexual way).

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

Excellent shitpost lol
