My femininity

Here is the thing about MY femininity that a lot of people don't like, YOU do not define it! You do not define how I view myself as a woman based on your societal or personal beliefs.

I guess I'm with Madonna and the hairy armpit thing. I don't know what makes people so uncomfortable with a woman who has body hair. Here is what my body hair means to me:

It means that I accept my body for everything it is and understand there is a purpose for everything it does. 

It means that I feel comfortable in my body regardless of how you feel about it.

It means that I take really short showers and spend all of my time doing things that matter like working, going to school, kissing my partner, and my all time favorite playing with my son.

It means I am confident to stand up for my body especially when I am standing alone.

It means I am teaching my son a different and more accepting perspective on what beauty is. 

And one thing I have learned about having body hair, because I am sure judgment falls on my partner as well since he has a hairy girlfriend... I heard this once in How I Met Your Mother from the very prophetic Barney Stinson, "men will go through the rough to get to the green."

Do you know what does define my femininity for me? The fact that I have birth to a beautiful baby (who is going to be 2 here really soon!!!). The fact that my name is Jenni. The fact that I personally identify as a female! That is how I identify my femininity. And my pretty long hair... Well and the fact that there is a cupcake in my armpit in the above picture, I'm counting that too.
