W RITE: DEARABBY Traditional women don't split hairs DEAR ABBY: "Rapunzel Legs," a hairy feminist in Everett, Wash., refused to shave her armpits or legs, and now she's screaming "sexual discrimination" because she's not welcome at private swim centers and exercise clubs. I think she deserves all the grief that comes her way. Doesn't she know that in this country women shave their legs and armpits in the interest of good grooming? Underarm odors are bound to he trapped in all that hair, so it's also a matter of hygiene. If "Rapunzel" let her hair down for me. I'd send up a case of Right Guard. DENVER READER DEAR ABBY: Sure it's sex discrimination to ban "Repunzel Legs" from swimming centers because she doesn't shave her legs and underarms. Are men banned from swimming centers because they have beards and hairy chests, hairy legs and hairy arms? Personally, I'd be happier if men and women got rid of all their body hair before swimming in a public pool. They don't realize that all that hair clogs the drains and filter system. EX-POOL MANAGER DEAR ABBY: That woman who refused to shave her legs should be named "Repulsive" instead of "Rapunzel." If she's too lazy to shave, she should move to Europe. RITA, CHARLOTTE, N.C. DEAR ABBY: "Rapunzel" should realize that allowing her dark and plentiful hair to grow in an unsightly manner is uncouth, unfeminine and unsanitary. In America we consider hairy legs and underarms gross. In Europe it's considered sexy. But then. Euro­ peans don't use deodorants; they think sweat and other natural body odors are "sexy." Pee- ooey! ALL-AMERICAN GIRL DEAR READERS: And now, equal time for "Rapunzel Legs": DEAR ABBY: I applaud "Rapunzel," the hairy lady who dares to be herself. Let it grow--let it show. It suits closet fur fanciers just fine. I am one of them. I adore furred feminine forearms, flashes of tufted armpits, downy mustaches and soft and silky leg hair. (It looks divine under nylon hosiery!) And if you care for me, don't change a hair for me. I love the natural look! ROGER THE FUR FANCIER DEAR ABBBY: No woman should shave her legs if she doesn't want to. I haven't touched a razor for years, and when some no-class, big- mouth comments on my hairy legs, I say, "I'll shave my legs when my husband shaves his!" LOTTA GUTS IN RICHMOND, VA. DEAR ABBY: Hooray for "Rapunzel"! I think hairless women are a multibillion dollar conspiracy dreamed up by the manufacturers of razors, razor blades, electric shavers, shav­ ing creams, depilatories, waxes and the elec­ trolysis business. Shaving is a bloody nuisance (literally!) and often leads to,infections, ingrown hairs and razor burns. Thanks for sticking up for a woman's right to be herself. HAIRY IN HOUSTON DEAR ABBY: Like most American women. I learned early in life to tweeze, pluck, shave or wax away offensive body hair, but I always hated the chore. Now that I'm more mature. I'm able to face a few rude stares or comments rather than return to scraping my skin with a metal blade. I'd like "Rapunzel" to know that seeing other unshaven women in public gives me permis­ sion to be myself, and I thank her for her courage in being a pioneer. Women are taught to hate their bodies, and to believe that their natural selves are somewhat disgusting. I see it as just one more way we're kept busy being self-conscious and thinking about trivial things (like men's opinions of us), so that we won't figure out where our real power lies. FEMINIST DEAR ABBY: Tell "Rapunzel Legs": Yes, it is sex discrimination to demand that women shave their legs while men walk around like gorillas. And if 'Rapunzel" wants to go topless--like a man--she won't get any complaints from me. RED IN PARIS, TEXAS
