According to the British media "Daily Star" reported on February 19, a young girl in Denmark decided to reconcile with her exuberant body hair, allowing a mustache to grow on her lips and her eyebrows to become a one-word eyebrow. Although many people said that her practice was confusing and even uncomfortable, Eltina said that she did not care about other people's opinions and became more confident.
Although born in Denmark, a relatively tolerant country, Eltina grew up in a small town with a fixed population, and everyone is accustomed to following the rules, and the slightest difference will be considered an outlier. Since Eltina no longer groomed her appearance, men often looked at her with prejudiced eyes, and even shouted rudely at her: "Go fix your eyebrows and shave your beard." However, Eltina did not care, but thought that this would help to eliminate the "rotten peach blossom", and men who did not respect personal choices could not be considered.
Eltina said that today's society has too many requirements for women's appearance, and the standard of rules and regulations makes many women anxious and lose self-confidence. This should be actively resisted, and do not be willing to conform to the so-called universal aesthetic. For example, body hair control, men may shave their beards every day, and even some men with beards are considered attractive. If women are born with strong body hair, they must endure the double blow of money and pain, and use various means to remove hair on a daily basis. It's very unfair, it's all about exploiting women.
Starting in March 2020, Eltina decided to embrace her natural self, no longer anxious about messy eyebrows and facial hair, since it is an innate thing, what is there to be ashamed of. Eltina said: "I think the requirements of this society for appearance are too double-standard. Men don't need to spend too much money and effort on appearance to be considered successful and accepted by the public. We women have to follow popular aesthetic standards, otherwise we will be publicly humiliated in public. It seems that we are born to spend more time than men on appearance. This in itself is a great inequality. I was also brainwashed before, and I didn't dare to go out without trimming my eyebrows, and I didn't dare to go swimming without shaving my leg hair. I found that most girls are anxious from the beginning of their adolescence, and the more body hair on their bodies will feel a shame, dare not show it, and even use hair removal equipment at a young age. I hope that my own attitude and choice can give girls more courage to show themselves that are different from the universal aesthetic standards. ”
