Are you pro-bush? (NSFW)

Asked by rojo (24179points) January 17th, 2014

This came from a link to a link @glacial provided in an earlier question.
This is not the same as pro-Bush (as they point out). Do you think this will have any impact on society and if so, positive or negative?
Just thought it an interesting topic for a Friday discussion.

I am very much pro-bush—almost as strongly as I am anti-Bush (as in Dubya). I am pro sent of woman, and anything that traps and enhances that sent I am very much in favor of. I am also strongly against razor stubble.

Will things change from the current bald beaver trend? Just as certainly as they changed to it over a relatively short period of time.

@ETpro Did you mean Scent?

Just clothing manufacturers trying to get attention.
I don’t care for mannequins having pubes. It doesn’t look clean.
That said, I don’t mind a woman who sports the normal complement. It is natural and normal.

That was hilarious.

Thanks for the biggest laugh of the day.

I guess if I saw one in the store I would continue laughing until I got used to them.

Well yeah sure ,don’t like the look of shaved ones.

I don’t like those mannequins. I hate the trend of women shaving off everything. I also don’t like that men shave their chests, but in a store open to the public I think displays should be more modest. I worked in the intimate apparel industry and I prefer simple bust forms or manequinns without graphic detail. First of all, it distracts from the clothing to use those mannequins. Second of all, I don’t like when a store does something that parents might feel is too explicit for their children. I have artists in my family, the human form in it’s natural state has always been appreciated, and I always had reinforcement from my adult relatives for the beauty of our bodies, but I still think a certain amount of consideration for everyone is important. I feel the same about displaying t-shirts with profanity, or art work in a street window that is controversial.

That’s a really hairy question.

Whatever problems I have in my life…It’s Bush’s fault.

I see no particularly good reason to need pubic hair on a mannequin, like I don’t need to see cellulite or vericose veins. I think the nipples are extraneous as well. Not that I’m opposed to nipples, they’re just distracting from the garment. And isn’t the point to showcase the garment?

Am I the only one grossed out by those mannequins? Why do we need pubes on mannequins? And why so much? I mean, choosing not to shave is one thing, but can we at least not revert to the unruly untamable bush from the 70’s that you could braid? Blech.

I don’t have sex with women and I don’t find shaved or hairy female genitalia attractive in any way, but I shave because I prefer it that way. If my pubic hair is poking out of my underwear, there’s a serious issue. I feel cleaner without a bunch of hair. I don’t care what other women do with their genitalia, but if rather not see bushes on mannequins.

I like this comment from the article:

I don’t know if the ultimate aim is pro- or anti-muff, but this looks like the equivalent of building a snowman and topping it off with a carrot penis rather than a carrot nose.

bolwerk's avatar

American Apparel should maybe start with the big misogynist/racist stuff, like having problems with black women who aren’t “pretty” as staff, before focusing on pubes.

josie's avatar

I sort of agree with @Seek_Kolinahr
The mannequins will attract some attention, but I am not real sure they will sell much product.

ucme's avatar

Beavers have short hair & are gorgeous…nuff said.

Dr_Lawrence's avatar

Let it Be! (pubic hair that is!)

ETpro's avatar

@ETpro It’s “scent of woman”, you blithering, bumble-headed bumpkin. Not ”sent of women”.

Coloma's avatar

I’m pro pruned bush. That mannequin needs a serious manicuring of overgrown lawn. Hell, that is not a bush it is a field! I think I see some Star Thistle!

wildpotato's avatar

Yes (via @fundevogel). I like the mannequins a lot; their oddness draws attention to the oddness of the current situation women face in society regarding depilation. I’m sure most people will just think “gross” and keep walking, but some few might start thinking about why they are made uncomfortable by the idea of having hair down there.

Coloma's avatar

@wildpotato I agree completely, however, nothing wrong with a little grooming. Pre-scissors well, I’m glad I was not a cave women. lol

ETpro's avatar

@Coloma Why frolic on a mown lawn when just down the block there’s a beautiful meadow full of long grass and fragrant flowers?

Berserker's avatar

lol what the fuck

Well @Seek_Kolinahr has a point. I thought that the point of mannequins was to show off the clothing. I mean, a lot of mannequins don’t even have fucking heads or arms, yet we should see pubes?

Oh well, I really don’t care, may they do what they will, if anything it will be interesting. But I’m really only interested in mannequins if they come to life at night and try to traumatize me.

OpryLeigh's avatar

@ucme I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you around here recently! I think I actually missed you!!!

I find these mannequins really funny but, ultimately,I don’t care either way whether they have pubes or not. I can’t imagine it would affect my purchase choices. I also don’t care what a woman does with her own genitals. Personally I feel more comfortable with minimal hair anywhere on my body except my head but I don’t have a preference when it comes to other woman (I am bisexual).

Coloma's avatar

@ETpro Haha, well, I like my guys boulders to be smoothly shaved.

ETpro's avatar

@Coloma To each their own. I don’t even shave my face, I am definitely not going to be shaving my nuts. Too crinkly and this too many shaving nicks.

livelaughlove21's avatar

@Coloma So do I. Hairy balls is a big turn-off for me. I prefer my husband to not never shave his face (he keeps it scruffy, but not long) or the pubic hair above his penis (though I don’t appreciate a crazy untrimmed forest poking me in the eyes), but smooth balls is a must.

@ETpro I once asked my husband how he does it and he said, “you just pull the skin tight and shave it.” He’s never cut himself there, but he did slice a nipple once while manscaping. Ouch.

I wonder if all these “pro-bush” guys would like women to stop shaving their legs and armpits. And stop tweezing their eyebrows as well. It cracks me up when men say they like their women to be “natural,” because most of them have no clue what that would actually look like. Ain’t nothing wrong with a little grooming, no matter what gender.

rojo's avatar

I was a little annoyed there were no redheads.

ETpro's avatar

@livelaughlove21 I’s be fine with no shaving. I like a woman having underarm hair. I can, however, understand why you’d trim back the pubes so you could wear a bathing suit without them sticking out. That’s just my preference. I realize I am in a small minority these days.

plethora's avatar

I’m totally pro-BUSH on real live women. Outrageously sexy! But I do not get it on the mannequin. For me it is quite the distraction (pleasantly so). I seem to pay no attention to whatever is being modeled.

GloPro's avatar

I think the mannequins are funny, and I’d probably step into the store because of the creative marketing to see what else they have.
I like the Mohawk, or landing strip. When I have no relationship and nobody’s looking but me I grow what I call a “celibacy bush” because it keeps my panties on, hahahaha.
I also participate in Fanuary, which is a charity event where you get waxed in the shape of a moustache down there to support cancer research. It’s the counterpart to Movember for men. It’s hilarious, and for a good cause!

rojo's avatar

@GloPro Nice link. I like the term “Muffstache”. Do they come in other styles like the little “Hitler (or toothbrush) one or the Fu Manchu or the Imperial with the curled up ends like silent movie villains had?

GloPro's avatar

Here was the official list you could choose from. Participating businesses would donate a portion of all muffstache waxes to cervical cancer research.
I took this page in and got the second row from left, third up from bottom. The possibilities are endless!

rojo's avatar

:) Add a little goatee to that and….... ;)
