Things I Do Not Understand

Men supposedly groom the hair on their faces for civilization and women their under-arms and legs, but men can somewhat easily get away with going natural. Women, only if they keep it covered up. One of the many pros of winter. And just another not yet equality of the sexes to work towards.

I wonder how men would like having to shave their legs? I know my brother hated shaving his ankles in football season, but it was better than taping without shaving.
My son shaves his arms and armpits. Sometimes his legs.

I was in grad school the first time I saw a woman that didn't have shave her legs. It was different. I can understand not wanting to.

(fixed it for me)

Shortly after Sam and I married, we were in a gas station.

He was bragging about me, crudely, to a patron. "I bet your wife doesn't shave her legs" the guy told him. "She does, give it a feel!" and he started to lift my skirt...

He got slapped, and the customer got threatened.

I got in trouble once. I deserved it. I thought I was being funny. I was introduced to the idea that I wasn't. That's all I'll say.

Well, the wording of your ordeal made me smile, at least...
Sometimes what seems like a funny idea at the time turns out not to be so funny from another perspective. It wasn't horrible or anything like that, just not looking at the bigger picture and considering the feelings of others that were surprised to find themselves suddenly part of a joke.

My humor can get pretty strong, so I kind of let it out in levels, to see who can handle what, to avoid such situations...

Very few do I uncensor 100% for.

This was a joke similar to the one that you warned off your husband and the gas station onlooker about.

I was young, but clearly even 30 some years later, I'm still bugged that I could be so unthinking.
