It's time to end society's scorched earth approach to pubic hair

An article in the Guardian entitled "Pubic hair has a job to do – stop shaving and leave it alone" points out the absurdity of the current taboo regarding public hair.


Removing it not only increases friction in some rather delicate areas, it also leaves the skin irritated and more prone to infection. This depilatory trend shows no sign of fading, with growing numbers of men now opting to partake in some personal deforestation.

Personally I agree with Amanda Palmer:
"I say grow that sh*t like a jungle,
give them something strong to hold on to.
Let it fly in the open wind,
if it get's too bushy you can trim"

Is London 2012's claim to have female competitors from every single country, a myth?


Much has been made of the blow London 2012 has struck for gender equality in sports, through being the first Olympic games to include at least one female competitor in every competing national team.

Why then do the team profiles for Barbados and Nauru feature an exclusively male line up?
