Objectives Our aim is to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every person’s material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy. This aim shall be reached while remaining within the competences conferred to the EU by the Treaties. We request the EU Commission to make a proposal for unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU, which reduce regional disparities in order to strengthen the economic, social and territorial cohesion in the EU. This shall realize the aim of the joint statement by the European Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission, stated in 2017, that “the EU and its member states will also support efficient, sustainable and equitable social protection systems to guarantee basic income” in order to combat inequality.

and like how insidious it is to ask women to waste time, daily if you’re particularly hairy, with a fucking razor trying to look prepubescent. and like what an undue burden that is.

and there’s like… next to no posts about beyond the vaguely (or less vaguely) implication of pedophilia around this, SO mcuh of this serves other forms of opprssion besides misogyny. how being perfectly hairless is part of the hyperfemininity expected of trans women, fat women, and women of color. and to fail to shave is to fail to pass and meet whites supremacist standards of “real” womahood (or girlhood, I guess, since we’re all about de-aging the body by doing this).

we don’t talk about how shaving is an ableist expectation, not figuring into it how shaving can be difficult if not impossible to do with various disabilities. and how if you’re lacking spoons, shaving is a fucking terrible thing to spend them on. or how some people shouldn’t have fucking razors in their house.

and how this obsesssion with body hair extends its tendrils out to demonize ANY hair on women so that intersex women or women with other conditions that lead to increased arm or facial hair are like… doubling “failing” being women.

so like… i love making silly lil posts about loving bushy genital hair or showing off leg hair.

but i also think the expectation of no body hair rly extends out beyond just like… a symbol of some abstract feminist struggle. it’s obviously not like an issue that is high priority but i do think it is a point of intersection in a lot of forms of gendered oppression.

or just struggles in general. like…
