is it misogynistic that i can tolerate another man’s musk and body hair but have trouble appreciating the same on women
i kinda always felt like the way i view women is a little too influenced by patriarchy and societal standards. i feel like i was basically conditioned to develop certain sexual fetishes and preferences, so some things feel odd to me even though they’re completely natural
a man can go months without shaving any part of his body and i genuinely do not care, i probably even prefer it. i definitely like hairy vaginas and personally wouldn’t expect a woman to shave, but when it comes to armpit, chest, or leg hair, i would never comment on it, yet in my head it feels completely normal on a man but somehow odd on a woman. i hate that i think that way.
same thing with smells. men kind of just have this musk to them that feels almost welcoming to me, even their sweat at times. but with women, i can’t even imagine them smelling like anything other than perfume or cologne because that’s mostly been my experience. the idea that some women naturally have a musk to them the same way men do somehow feels unusual to me.
what can i do to fix this?
