policies, since I don't hide behind an editor-name but sign my posts with my real name, you should check Knowledge policy on libel before stating that I have a big porn collection. I don't. Or that I love porn. I don't. (Certainly not TODAY's porn, which is all directed at pedophiles, which is why the women's pubic-regions are totally hairless.) That's what so amazing about your attitude. ANYONE ought to know, from personal experience, that comprehensive pubic-waxing didn't start until about the time the SOURCE I QUOTED ABOVE (thanks again, Ivanvector, for supplying it) says it did. My brother once suggested I accompany him to see "A Clockwork Orange". Stanley Kubrick. 1971. Is that porn? I rather tend to think it is, but it didn't have an "X" rating at the time that we saw it, and most people wouldn't think of it as porn although I sorta do. And it's dripping with female pubic-fur. At one time "Last Tango In Paris" carried an "R" rating although it was "X" when released, and I think most mainstream non-porn film-experts know about it. It starred Marlon Brando. Was he a "porn" actor or mainstream? And there was monumentally luscious (and gorgeously erotic) female pubic-hair, PROUDLY DISPLAYED AS SUCH for the delectation of Brando's character. Did he turn his back and vomit because she wasn't clean-shaven? (In fact she was downright shaggy. Thank God.) NO! He got MASSIVELY AROUSED!!! So SOMEBODY in the waxing-business is telling lies larger than the solar-system!! How many cases of normal women having normal pubic-hair in the 1970s would you need before you'd stop insisting that ALL OF THEM are atypical or non-representative? Any normal person who's not pursuing porn at all will inevitably learn, by accidentally seeing porn-related things that they didn't intend to see, because they come up in Image-Googles when you seek a picture of something else, that women didn't remove all of their pubic hair prior to what I will now say, based on the article above so graciously served to me by Ivanvector, is the 1990s. If you just have your eyes open to normal everyday life, you will see this. Anyone insisting that total pubic-hair removal goes back before the 1970s must be actively trying to block out all evidence to the contrary from impinging on their senses. They must be a fanatical adherent of an ideological point of view that they know to be ideological. Anyone insisting that all evidence to the contrary will be found only by porn-hunters is equally fanatical and ideological. They can't possibly be open to EVIDENCE because, if they were open to EVIDENCE, they would never have opined in the first place that Brazilian waxing goes all the way back to the 1960s. There's no way that any person devoid of the militantly pro-waxing ideology can believe that in good faith.

of posting "there was no rationing in the USA in World War Two" when you weren't ALIVE then. Now, millions of people are going to know that what you wrote was wrong, and that it's only remotely likely that you wrote it in good faith. Even if you seek out material about World War Two as little as I seek out material related to porn, a normal person open to everyday experience is going to know, as background knowledge, that there was rationing in the USA during World War Two. Just like you know the RED light means "stop your car" and the green light means "okay to go". It's part of the background facts of life. Now let's suppose one Knowledge reader who was an adolescent during World War Two administers to you a well-justified pasting on the Talk Page of that article. The appropriate response from you should be "Okay. You were there, I wasn't. I don't know what I'm talking about. I've only READ BOOKS about it. I didn't LIVE through it. What you know is better than what I know. The PROBLEM is, my good sir, that in order to change the gist of the article, we just have some rules about how to introduce the statements that show that there most assuredly WAS rationing in World War Two. We can't just attribute it to your personal memory. Now, it's rather unfair of Knowledge to ask YOU to do ITS job, so someone at Knowledge will respond to your complaints by chasing down the evidence that shows that rationing did exist during World War Two, and will then rewrite the article using this evidence that meets Knowledge's rules, which only we understand, rather than throwing that burden in your face and making you spend a year learning the rules that apply to Knowledge. You've pointed out that we were spreading untruth, and we will correct it. Thanks. It's like when you hear Marvin say something and you know Marvin wouldn't lie, you STILL can't testify to the truth of what Marvin said (only that it's true that he said it) because the Court and the Jury don't know Marvin and have no business believing Marvin to be incapable of lying, even though YOU might be justified in so believing. Now Marvin said this, and we know it's true, but we have to find ANOTHER way of introducing the truth of the fact other than that Marvin said it. Okay? I'm not accusing you of saying something that's not true. I'm just saying we have to find another, more acceptable way to introduce it as true, other than your say-so on Marvin's say-so."

HEALTHY grown-up man is "No" followed by vomiting) steer the article. But I COULD let it would make me look for sources that discuss the connection between the bare pubic region and pedophilia. I don't remember pedophilia as being as common before the 1990s as afterwards. Is this just because the REPORTING went up? Because some social structures that prevented victims from speaking out got kicked in, increasing the REPORTS while the actual base of what was OCCURRING had not changed? Or, alternatively, was there just more pedophilia after the 1980s? Was there some growth fueled by the Internet? I wouldn't, if writing an article about bikini-waxing, just be totally OBLIVIOUS to a possible connection between a rise in pederastic preferences and the rise in the grooming to gratify (or exacerbate) those preferences. And surely I would FIND what it would be obvious for me to SEEK: articles discussing what it IS about pedophilic appearance that excites the pedophilic person, and how this Brazilian-waxing trend relates to all that. When one does read something about bikini-waxing that doesn't even MENTION this issue, I think it's only normal to have a sense that the article has been deliberately sanitized of such associations (because it's so OBVIOUS that the link is there). Like an extensive article abuot Nixon's Presidency, and it's got Agnew, and it's got Vietnam, and inflation, and it doesn't mention Watergate. How is the reader supposed to NOT NOTICE, and not comment upon, that which is missing? How can you NOT explore these questions on pedophilia in doing your research? If comments were still alive at the years-old www.sexyfeminist.com article cited above, you can be sure that THAT author would be hearing from me too, for she ALMOST overlooked the question herself (apart from the text "And does every rip of the wax take a little bit of our feminism with it?" -- her ONLY reference, and it was a VERY oblique one, to the loss of hair achieving the loss of adulthood). Yes, you should object to putting my editorial stance about pedophilia in the article. But you've gone beyond that and ignored the entire pedophilia-angle entirely, and, in consequence, the article reads like a whitewash, a spin-job.

the way YOU need them to be cited saying "Here are 500 books and newspaper articles which either state USA rationing to have existed or which imply it with other assertions that make sense only IF USA rationing existed." You're not going to GET that response. (And if you did you'd find some way to be dismissive of the accumulation of 500 sources of refutation, so if it were ME I would CERTAINLY discourage someone from wasting the time on GETTING the 500 sources. The time and effort they've wasted simply won't accomplish ANYTHING with respect to Knowledge's ears.) What you're going to GET is "Poppycock! I was a teenager at the time and I know different! If you say your article is 'sourced' to the contrary, then it's because you suppressed the sources' that document rationing's existence, so that you could deny the existence of rationing." Now, when that happens (and it should be totally permissible on a Talk Page), Knowledge's response is to bludgeon the person for their lack of PROCEDURAL acumen, and to say that the very fact that the assertion of the existence of rationing having originated FROM such a person lacking in procedural acumen is, OF ITSELF, proof positive that rationing didn't exist, and brand the person as someone who is agitating on behalf a lie. After that point, the person is a pariah. And if they say so much as "Peep", the very fact of them having said "Peep" is used as further proof of their own bad character, since they are saying "Peep" to try to change the article's take on USA rationing in World War Two, and since there WAS no rationing in World War Two (as evidenced by the fact that only the pariah is saying that there WAS rationing in World War Two), they're trying to lie. The logic is a two-step circle: the purported fact that they are alleging is false because it is being alleged by an evil person; and the person doing the alleging is evil because they're acting on behalf of a purported fact that is false. I have found that it is ALWAYS impossible to get Knowledge to escape this circular reasoning.

bad faith, and I can in good faith state it to be in bad faith. The women I was naked with WERE, of course, the tiniest statistical pool. Let's conservatively peg it at 10, in what was probably, 20 years ago, maybe only 50 million (assuming maybe ??1/4?? of a US population of ??200 million?? to be of-age women). My assertion is NOT (as anyone can see reading what I actually WROTE, as opposed to what been STATED that I wrote) that 10 women out of 50 million is a large sample. For the mathematically challenged present, I'll explain in greater detail (which will of course cause a comment about the LENGTH of this post, a length that has been made necessary by someone's bad faith in misrepresenting my math, with the intent that someone else can then in bad faith object to this defense's length that is made necessary by the previous bad faith). If 90% of the of-age female population prior to 1994 had totally hairless pubic regions, then the likelihood of me having been naked with 10 women selected at random prior to that date ALL OF WHOM had total full natural pubic hair would be 1 in 10 billion. If 99% of of-age women were in lockstep with this article, the odds of my having that track record would be 1 in 100 quintillion. It's just not credible to assert that it was only by LUCK that I NEVER received a nauseating serving of pedophilic fantasy during that time. Nope, I avoided the servings of pedophilic fantasy because THEY DID NOT EXIST back then, and the sexyfeminist.com article cited above bears me out. I don't think total depilation can be asserted as a "norm" for the time unless at least 50% of women were doing it, and even at that percentage the odds of me drawing 10 women who were NOT doing it are 1 in 1,024. That's STILL small enough for me to say "the original fraction being asserted is massively overstated for that time".

of bikini waxing also came into vogue", someone actually DID capitulate on that text. During January of this year, I now find out, someone named Ewawer changed the last clause of that text to "the styling of pubic hair also came into vogue". So your own ranks are crumbling. Obviously Ewawer isn't agreeing with my detractors as thoroughly as you'd like. I WOULD have preferred it if Ewawer had ALSO paused on this talk-page and typed "You're right, Chris. Bikinis may have necessitated some STYLING of pubic hair (which obviously could not be STYLED if it was GONE, as you can't style something that doesn't exist), but (as I can't deny if I'm going to remove the assertion of "bikini-waxing" coming into vogue) such 'styling' is not 'total removal'." And while it may be true that I have no idea what Knowledge considers "reliable" sources (although it's also true that whatever sources I can get you would disparage as unreliable ex-post-facto since you're not arguing in good faith with an open mind but have only one acceptable conclusion (that any woman JFK, Brando, or Namath had had sex with must've been bare-pubed unless the men were slumming) in mind a-priori any facts), THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS ARTICLE knows how to satisfy Knowledge's requirements in that respect, and it was THEIR job not to suppress all of the sources that are reliable by Knowledge's standards that substantiate the fact that total waxing was not normal in the USA until the 1990s and that repudiate the notion that total waxing was normal as early as the 1960s. It was THEIR job not to slant the article towards that ideology by ignoring sources that don't support that ideology. It was not MY job (because, as you say, I don't know how to do it). THEIR job. THEY know the Knowledge rules for sourcing. I don't.

POSSIBLE answer: it's because you know that I will not fail to find any evidence that you SINCERELY call for. Alternatively, you will ask for unfindable evidence that everyone will see has nothing to do with the underlying question of when women started removing their pubic hair. Now, this MIGHT NOT be the reason you are refusing to argue in good faith. But if this is NOT the reason, then, please answer, what IS? And don't say that Knowledge has a page that defines what constitutes evidence IN GENERAL. Tell me what YOU would accept as evidence on this SPECIFIC question of when mainstream USA women started removing most or all of their pubic-hair. If you just give me Knowledge's GENERAL definition of what evidence is, I can meet that, only to have you say that what I've supplied "just is not evidence" or "is original research". I don't see why I should play that game with you. I really don't see what I need beyond the complete absence of hairless pubic-regions in USA-editions of Playboy and Penthouse until well into the 1980s, and the similar complete absence of them in main-stream porn-movies throughout the 1970s. Now, if you'd like to TELL me what I need beyond that, please feel free to do so. But if you don't, know that disinterested third parties reading this Talk-Page can take note of your silence and interpret it as refusal to argue in good faith, or as a capitulation on the underlying issue: you won't spell out why 1970s and 80s Playboys and Penthouses fail to make MY case, because you know full well that they DO make my case. Your threat to censor my further posts will also be taken as vindication of my position: since you can't refute me convincingly, you simply shut me up.

catalogs from Sears and Montgomery Ward and the like, with their wide-cut all-covering bikini bathing-suits, do exist, and I remember seeing in them what I saw in them, as I remember what I saw in the skin-mags and mainstream R-rated movies from the time. I'm not using my MEMORY of these published materials as sources. I'm using the materials THEMSELVES as sources because I remember what they contain, and they are PUBLISHED (so anyone can check). I can use them as sources as well as you can use, as a source, the words you REMEMBER from a writer (probably someone who never SAW a female pubic region in the 1970s) asserting female pubic-regions in the 1970s to be waxed hairless. It's true that "I know my facts to be true", but it's because there is evidence (all the magazines and movies, plus the non-existence of waxing-salons in my childhood and youth, plus a lot of personal experience of women's pubic regions) behind them. As is always the case, I am being told that my posts are not good enough for Knowledge but nobody is offering me guidance as to what is the acceptable and effective way to, without OFFENDING anyone, demonstrate, to a standard sufficient for Knowledge, that it is factually erroneous to assert that mainstream USA women started removing all or almost all of their pubic-hair as soon as the bikini became popular. What do you WANT from me? WHAT MUST I SUPPLY TO OVERCOME YOUR OBJECTIONS? State that without guile and when I have time I will comply.

their pubic-hair?" Now, do you have your mind made up about that question BEFORE you look at any SOURCES? I think my detractors do. I think they have a PROPAGANDISTIC insistence (see below) on a "yes" answer regardless of evidence. If it is a question of evidence, not ideology, then there has to be at least a hypothetical threshhold of evidence under which an honest person will say "Yes. It's obvious that mainstream USA women began to remove all, or almost all, of their pubic hair as soon as the bikini became popular, long before the 1980s" and there also has to be at least a hypothetical threshhold of evidence under which an honest person will say "No. It's obvious that mainstream USA women did not begin to remove all or almost all of their pubic-hair until much LATER than the bikini becoming widespread." I am honest on this question. If I could see issues of Playboy and Penthouse LATER than the date they began showing pubic areas, but BEFORE some point in time well into the 1980s, or mainstream movies from the relevant date-range, in which the pubic areas so shown were hairless, and if that were also true of women I knew personally all my life, and if I could remember waxing-salons being in business during my childhood and youth, I would say "Yes. Obviously mainstream USA women intending to appeal erotically to mainstream USA males were removing their pubic-hair as soon as, or earlier than, these magazines started showing pubic regions".

to be erotic. Men did not so consider it, and women in porn did not do it. Women in general wouldn't have been doing it if men didn't consider it to be erotic. Women DID start removing their pubic-hair at some point in the 1980s because men began to think it erotic and NARROWER bathing-suits (NOT original bikinis) necessitated it. But not before then. And porn is how you document that. Not just porn, but R-rated movies or ANY source where a woman's pubic-hair is showing. Porn is where most, but not all, of that is. Non-porn sources include women skinny-dipping at Woodstock or appearing nude in performance art. To say that the women in porn are not representative is what's absurd: You'd be saying that in the 1970s and early 1980s, most women NOT in porn are removing pubic-hair but women IN porn engage in some kind of "fetish" of keeping it? THAT is absurd. The "porn is not general" argument in fact swings MY way: women in porn started removing pubic hair EARLIER than, not LATER than, women in the general mainstream USA. It was hair-REMOVAL, not hair-RETENTION, that was the "porn fetish" for a time. Another source for this is actresses of the present day who are unable to re-grow their pubic hair to meet a film-schedule (or sadly, owing to too-permanent methods of removal, can NEVER regrow it) and using merkins to portray naked women of settings prior to the mid-1980s.

711:

removing their pubic hair, i.e. later than the early 1980s, depriving society of collective intelligence the way Samson being shaved deprived him of strength) when people were allowed to use full paragraphs to say what they had to say. I don't do sound-bites or 30-second E!-TV updates on celebrities. Sorry. Here's WHY I don't do that. If I shorten things, it won't matter. Some people think that two words disagreeing with them is too much, while 10,000 words agreeing with them is not enough. I believe that most people I deal with at Knowledge are in the former category. And anyone forced to concede that a post of mine is NOT "too long" will still find something ELSE "wrong" with it to beat me over the head with. WikiP's rules are so complicated they're like law or Biblical exegesis: whatever the referee wants to decide on purely personal arbitrary whim and caprice, there will be SOMETHING in the "rules" that they can cite justifying shooting me down or muzzling me. So there's no point in me making the EFFORT at concision, and there's no point in me accepting any "ruling" of what's Knowledge-passable or not. No matter what I do or say or post, no matter what I cite, you're ALWAYS going to spout the propaganda that mainstream USA women started waxing off their pubic-hair in 1946 or the 1960s.

327:

reading of the postings since then suggests that you do not regard Playboy and Penthouse magazines from the date-range being discussed as "reliable sources" as to what was going on at the time? I believe that authors who WRITE that women started removing their pubic-hair soon after the bikini became popular are weak evidence. An actual woman who (without a medical reason such as lice and without being part of the S&M fringe culture or an odd religion) DID remove all or substantially all of her pubic hair before the 1980s (or photograph of same) is STRONGER evidence. I cite as my sources all the USA issues of Playboy and Penthouse, and all mainstream porno-flicks, and a good many R-rated movies, made between the popularity of the bikini and the 1980s. That's a lot of sources. Are you saying you want me to LIST them? And to actually go and check microfilmed copies at libraries and write issue-dates down one by one? And rent even R-rated mainstream-theater movies like "In Praise Of Older Women?" and take notes? How many magazine-issues and how many movies would you need before you abandon the ridiculous pretense that mainstream USA women removed all, or substantially all, of their pubic hair before the 1980s?

347:

good faith at the start what you would ACCEPT as "reliable" sources. I've offered to list the Playboys and the Penthouses, and I see where I put the names of several movies, and AFTER THE FACT of me listng them you DENY that they are reliable sources. So YOU tell ME, up FRONT, what would constitute a body of citation that DEMOLISHES your assertion that mainstream USA women in the 1970s were removing all their pubic hair? Tell me up front what would constitute such a post, and if the standard you set is not in and of itself ridiculous I will compile it. But you're not going to DO that. You're going to move the goalpost. You're going to tell me to go find this unspecified evidence, and then, after I've found it (the issues of Playboy and Penthouse, what's going to be more unimpeachable than that?) you're going to say that the evidence I have found is "not reliable" or is "not verifiable". Am I right or am I not? When I check back here next time I am NOT going to find a response that says "Chris, here is what you need to make the case that we're absolutely wrong and that women didn't remove all their pubic hair in the 1970's. Find that and we'll concede defeat." Or am I? Are you going to argue fairly or not?

1055:

full well from personal experience that there WAS rationing) that they should believe YOUR SOURCE instead of believing THEIR OWN MEMORIES, and that they should acced to your source AND CHANGE THEIR MIND about whether there was rationing or not (when you can't KNOW that it's them, not your source, who is lying BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO PERSONAL MEMORIES OF YOUR OWN FROM THAT TIME!!!!). What an arrogant and insolent position to take to your elders, saying the second-hand testimony from BOOKS read by YOU outweighs their FIRST-hand memory of LIVING DURING TIMES when YOU were not alive. You've got NO first-hand contradictions to their first-hand experience, you've got ONLY second-hand info from books, so you should show some DEFERENCE! If there is a disagreement between widespread personal memory and your sources, then YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SOURCES AGAINST OTHER SOURCES rather than castigate some old person for "lying" when they KNOW there was rationing! That's just SO RUDE to assume that the bad faith must lie with the person who lived through the times rather than with the SOURCE that YOU read (when you very carefully avoided reading sources that had the contradictory story)!

1817:

true and what can't be true, even if only from personal experience. I REALLY RESENT it that you can't just take my personal knowledge NOT as grounds for re-writing the article, but, rather, as grounds for hunting down more, better, and more-accurate sources, and then those SOURCES would be grounds for re-writing the article ABSENT any personal knowledge of mine. Or retract the assertion that no USA rationing existed in World War Two NOT because a surviving eyewitness told you so, but, rather, because his telling you so caused you to SEEK (and find) sources corroborating his assertion, which would enable you to put the truth in the article by attributing it to those sources that he caused you to find, not his personal recollections. Authors of real books do this. In the 2nd edition there's an acknowledgment page thanking the people who found fault with the 1st edition; or there's a preface indicating the basis for other revisions. The author (whose JOB it is to update the book) doesn't just sit on their hands and say "YOU do the re-write, you jerk!" to a fault-finder who isn't getting the royalties from the book and who probably has another full-time job.

1059:

NEVER LIE DOWN and let you run over me with the steam-roller of "whatever the waxing-industry says is, because THEY SAY it, true, and if it behooves them to present Brazilian waxing as a LONG-STANDING cultural norm analogous to armpit-shaving, you should be denounced for bad character if you interfere with our effort to spread this propaganda". That is what I don't understand, is why you are so ANGRY at me? (My only way of understanding it is to speculate that you are paid by the waxing-industry.) You're NOT angry that I won't do WIKIPEDIA'S job and get the sources (and I even HAVE one, now, thanks to Ivanvector, and it gives dates and names that nail y'all but good). You're angry with me ONLY because I AM SHOUTING OUT LOUD something that contradicts the sacred unimpeachable Biblical truth (the contradiction of which you believe to be Felony Blasphemy) in this article: that sphinx-waxes came in with the bikini. ANYONE who under ANY circumstances says "Sphinx-waxes just didn't happen, in the mainstream USA, that early" is going to be met with ad-hominem denouncements from you.

1157:

world is shattered if all of a sudden it's proven to you that Joe Namath, Marlon Brando, and John F. Kennedy all had sex with women who had substantive pubic hair. Or why someone would write THIS article without any mention of the seven J.-Sisters whom that page believes were instrumental in popularizing, ca. 1994, the full Brazilian wax. That page makes it absolutely clear that the total removal of pubic hair by mainstream USA women didn't happen until much later than I was insisting on: 1994 (even though Ivanvector, by omitting most of the text on the page in his reference, was trying to make it seem like that site was insisting on a date in the 1950s). I notice that you will not go to that page, read it, and respond to what's on that page. Instead you keep up the ad-hominem attacks on me. I notice that, AS I PREDICTED YOU WOULD, you insist that that page (now that I've cited it), is not reliable (although nobody said it was "not reliable" when Ivanvector cited it), but you don't say why. I doubt you've even read it. It's probably TLDR for you.

105:

property to rewrite as their whims direct. You may be a shill for the waxing-salon industry. Or the bathing-suit industry. Or you might be a pedophile who doesn't want to admit that your erections caused by seeing hairless pubic-regions ARE a pedophilic response. I don't know WHAT bad motive you have for lying. I only know that you HAVE a bad motive and that you ARE lying, because the evidence (listed above) that non-fetishistic non-lice-related non-medically-necessitated pubic-depilating in the mainstream of USA culture predates the 1980s just doesn't exist. You simply can't argue with the facts. Go through those issues of those magazines. EVERY SINGLE ONE shows that you're lying. Sixteen years, 12 issues per year, that's 192 issues per magazine, two magazines, that's 384 magazine copies. Put all 384 on the table and go through them, and at least 383 out of a possible 384 will show that you're re-writing history and have no business editing an encyclopedia of factual and objective knowledge.

attitude of hostility, trying only to attack what you can find, and so you found that, and all of the stronger material in the list is conveniently omitted from your gaze. Furthermore, I'm not using THE BLOG as evidence. The verbal assertions in a blog are lame evidence. A reproduction of a photograph in a blog is, within the probability that the blogmaster edited the photo (which probability is as small as possible in this case), as good as the photo. If I were arguing that at one point in the 1950s Tony The Tiger had a white neckerchief and a photo of a cereal-box shows as much, would you argue that the blog-author was just doing me the favor of photoshoping the cereal-box photo in their blog just so I could say that Tony had the white neckerchief? You really think I had some blogger edit the box-cover of a porno-movie just so I could make this point about women keeping their pubic hair at dates much later than this article says?

or the 1980s up to a certain point waxed off their pubic hair" is not original research, just as "Paris is the capital of France" is not original research. And OR doesn't apply to talk-pages anyway. (Just to be clear about what we're talking about: when I said that having sex with women lacking pubic hair was pedophilia, that was personal opinion. When I said that removing pubic hair was part of some other cultural shift, that was OR. But when I said that mainsteam USA women just didn't DO that before the 1980s, that's neither editorializing nor OR, but simply objective truth. You can attack the other stuff as unsubstantiated editorializing all you want, and that's fine with me, but the cold truth of the absence of bare pubic regions in porn of the 1970s and earlier 1980s is not a matter of OPINION but FACT. Have you LOOKED at a Playboy or Penthouse from the relevant decades to see if I'm wrong?

1797:

if not his cookies? What WOULD a contradiction of that statement consist of if NOT pointing out that before 1994 men were siring children in many cases without artificial help (or else all the babies in human history prior to 1994 were conceived by other means), and therefore must have been capable of achieving arousal in the presence of normal pubic hair? What IS it that makes the offer of such a fact, for purposes of contradicting a falsehood in the article, UNacceptable? Is it taboo to talk about what heterosexual men find to be "massively arousing"? I'll bet there are other Knowledge articles in which that is discussed (perhaps using a word other than "massively", such as "strongly", "intensely", or "profoundly", just because they "sound better" in scholarly writing than "massively", but surely the word "arousing" wouldn't be changed).

887:

therefore, every single one of my sexual partners before the mid-1990s was some kind of anomaly, that EVERY TIME I had sex I drew from a tiny statistical pool, like cutting the deck on an Ace of Spades every time. Sooner or later those odds just aren't credible). NOBODY can truthfully say that I "will not change" my "viewpoint regardless of source". Nobody arguing against me has named sources which will convince THEM that mainstream USA women did NOT remove all of their pubic-hair prior to the 1980s. And really, nobody's even ARGUING about the underlying issue anymore (except Ivanvector and me). People are simply denouncing me because I won't agree to be savagely beaten to a pulp as punishment for having blasphemously contradicted a falsehood in the article.

local Video King just to check out other ladies' equipment, but it’s possible we might sometimes wander over to the porn department at Google. Meanwhile, "lad mags" like Maxim and Gear became all the rage, mainstreaming a porn aesthetic even on grocery-store magazine racks. Adult-film stars like Jenna Jameson became household names: Her 2004 memoir became a mega-bestseller with the self-helpy title How to Make Love Like a Porn Star—clearly the public wanted to know exactly that. And what we found, the more we looked at porn, was that there was not a female pubic hair in sight. And then many of us thought: If guys like porn and I want to have sex with men, it just seems logical that I should not have pubic hair. ...

Given that, there needs to be SOME AVENUE OF APPEAL whereby if a blatant falsehood appears in Knowledge a member of the LAY public can get it corrected without having all the training required to WRITE a Knowledge article. (Another route would be to do what a judge will do when refusing to go easy on a pro-se defendant for lack of procedural knowledge: appoint them a Legal Aid attorney on the spot. Knowledge could appoint a scholar (versed in all your arcane rules) to work on behalf of my assertion about the dating of Brazilian-waxing. That would be fair.)

view of the sharply-delineated lines of muscle which, more than SIZE of muscle, is the focus of bodybuilding competition under some rules. And yes, the male pubic hair will be denser even outside the line of coverage provided by the jockeys they pose in, and the muscles on the inside of the leg should look sharp-lined, so that removal is deemed competitive. (Even so, I think it marginally (but only marginally) more likely that Schwarzenegger was joking than that he got a totally wax in 1978.) And yes, no woman has ever WANTED pubic hair to be visible outside the edge of her bikini. But that's a far cry from today's practice of wanting no visible pubic hair when wearing NOTHING. Apples to oranges.

After reading the very first lengthy comment from a user, all subsequent lengthy comments from the same user are basically ignored by most experienced users (at best, walls of text are extremely quickly skimmed over without reading the text). Experience has amply demonstrated that spending time on reading overly-lengthy blocks of text is not an effective use of editors' time. Please remember we are all volunteers, the time we have available to us to edit the project is limited, and we would rather spend the time making meaningful contributions to articles and consensus-building on talk pages than spend our time getting increasingly frustrated or angry at the

101:(CUTTING hair to keep it inside a bathing-suit doesn't count. I speak of hair REMOVAL.) I can't vouchsafe that NO person who ever posed in those magazines during that time had a waxed pubic region, but if so they were not depicted as mainstream, but, rather, on the edge of radical underground sex-culture. The centerfold model of each issue represented what gave mainstream American males erections, and the centerfold model never had a waxed pubic region in that era. There might be, anomalously, ONE such centerfold, but one centerfold out of 384 doesn't indicate that female pubic depilation was a norm. But if you can find TWO, my $ 500.00 is yours. 966:'The practice crept into modern America in the 1950s as bathing-suit seams advanced upwards, though in its first half-century or so of existence it involved taking just the hair that extended beyond the panty line—the procedure now known as the "traditional" or "basic" bikini wax. Models and anyone else whose living depended on their appearance in teeny scraps of clothing accepted it as an occupational hazard by the ’70s—even bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger later joked that his decision in 2003 to run for governor of California was the hardest choice he’d made since getting a bikini wax in 1978.' 917:

assumed that everyone knows the parable of the horse's teeth. Maybe I was wrong and you don't know it. I'll come back to it before I leave tonight. Basically it's just a parable that illustrates that if you want to know the number of teeth genetically programmed to form in horses, find a horse too young to have lost any teath, open the horse's mouth, and count them. (This MIGHT be the original of the common phrase "Straight from the horse's mouth", meaning "a good source".)) That is better than reading books about the number of teeth in horses.) Okay, I have the following text to refute the "verifiable" information:

arguments about how it's okay when Ivanvector uses that source to argue for the 1960s (or 1946, or 1950s) date, but the SAME SOURCE is out of bounds for me to use arguing for the 1990s date. (Surely there is some arcane Knowledge rule you can use for that. The "A source is reliable if it indicates that Chris Simpson is wrong, but unreliable if it indicates that he's right" rule.) One thing that's NOT going to happen is everyone saying "Well, okay, then. That settles it. It's the 1990s. Chris, you were right." That would only happen if you were arguing in good faith. And you're not.

about THE WAY I am arguing, not WHAT I am arguing. You have not supplied ONE IOTA of support that mainstream USA women removed all or almost all of their pubic-hair in the 1970s, while beating me in the face with the double-standard that it is ME who has the burden (which I've met, though you won't admit it) of proving that 1970s women did NOT do so. Where is YOUR proof that they DID? Where's an advertisement or licensing-document from a middle-America newspaper for a waxing-salon in the 1970s on the town's main commercial drag?

817:"Why should we even RESORT to books about pubic-shaving in pornography or in daily life? You're citing authority on how many teeth the horse has (I assume you are familiar with that parable.) I say we go find a horse and count the teeth. Forget books about porn and show me mainstream non-fetish non-S&M porn predating 1985 wherein a substantial portion of the female pubic regions depicted are substantially hairless. That's the way to settle arguments. You get the PORN. You don't cite BOOKS about porn." 753:"I'm going to read the page-range you've cited. It either says what this article says it says (in which case it's just wrong, and I suspect this book has an axe to grind about the beauty-industry and patriarchally-imposed body-image and is therefore not a reliable source anyway, but do not tremble in fear that I will fail to inform you, for I promise I shall); or it does NOT say what this article says it says, in which case you can prepare yourself for more of this" 214:

advertisement for mainstream waxing-salon in the 1970s: just produce ONE. But how would I meet a burden of proof that there is NOT EVEN ONE such advert? Proving the NON-existence of something that, within the laws of common sense and logic, MIGHT well exist? That's an unfairly high standard. And I think that in pointing readers at the USA editions of Playboy and Penthouse in the identifiable date-range, I have well met "the burden of identifying reliable source".

present to the idea that the goal of pubic-hair management prior to 1994 was to prevent stray hairs escaping past bathing-suit boundaries (for which shortening length at the margins sufficed, leaving the pubic region substantially furry), NOT presentation, when nude, of a hairless pubic-region to a lover. I think there is inherent rejection of that idea (amongst those present here) regardless of how much evidence anyone might gather to support it.

need to have a length of zero. Obviously if an individual hair were 1 inch away from the nearest fabric edge, and it were 1.5 inches long, its furthest 0.5" could in theory be exposed. So that hair would be trimmed to less than 1 inch. But wholesale removal of a great portion of the hair down to the follicle? That just wasn't happening in the 1960s, 70s, or early 80s. That's an objective fact.

The part about Salons using different names doesn't really make sense in context because the "landing strip" and "Hollywood" haven't been defined in the article prior to this point.

Yes, it's totally correct that porn (and even non-porn where you can look at actual furry pubic-areas) is better evidence about what's in porn (or on pubic-areas) than books about porn (or books about pubic-areas).
