Even though society has made marginal progress in terms of gender equality, there remains that one, pesky, pervasive little facet of womanhood that is wholly and totally unfair, yet many of us feel inexplicably beholden to: hair removal.
While there are many women who feel perfectly comfortable with bucking the seemingly sexist trend of shaving. waxing and tweezing, some of us just can’t seem to break the habit — but, that doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it at every possible juncture.
Here are some jokes to remind all of us that shaving and waxing are outdated, ridiculous, weirdly satisfying and totally frustrating. Maybe we can all just grit our teeth and laugh through the razor burn?

I practice No Shave Winter, where I wear jeans every day and hibernate my furry legs to get ready for the coming of Spring.

Between extensions, waxing & threading, lady bodies are just an ECONOMY OF HAIR! It’s all about ADDING HAIRS & then SUBTRACTING OTHER HAIRS!

The lady waxing my legs asked if I had a boyfriend and I said “No, just a really important swim meet” and she stopped talking to me.

I cut my leg while shaving and I thought it had stopped bleeding but now this hotel bed says ‘someone might’ve slowly died here.’

No amount of time or practice can keep you from cutting yourself shaving or trimming your nails too short

I shave my legs, get out of the shower, take ONE breath, and the hairs grow back. Does that count as a super power?
