kanye's grooming

and cultural expectations

The mud ball worked its way down my back. It was caught in the crack between my butt cheeks.

There, it went to work. First, it combined with the short, oddly shaped hair that live at the top of my but crack. They’re a nappy, colourless bunch there. But, combined with the gritty ball of grease, they went to work.

By the end of my ride, the top of my butt crack was polished smooth. So smooth. It was probably almost as smooth as Kanye’s nutsack. I’m no expert on Kanye’s nutsack. He does however seem to be like the kind of man who fusses over how fuzz free his balls are.

I never expected to have arse hair.

I never expected to consider Kanye’s nutsack.

But expectations around Kanye’s nutsack specifically and nutsack hair in general, are cultural creations, not truths.

In fact for over three hundred thousand years men and women were blessed with hairy arms, legs, armpits, heads, nut sacks and va jay jay’s. These days, that is becoming less frequently the case.

Body hair it seems has become problem…
