Join the Movement: Women With Hairy Legs

Summertime often means people remove unwanted hair, but some women are defying the norm and documenting it on social media. On tumblr The Hairy Legs Club encourages women to post photos of their hairy legs to make a statement about social expectations of beauty. A blog called “Very Hairy Legs” encourages the same behavior, with blogger Sarah writing, “This blog is dedicated to females with very hairy legs. Let our legs be the champions!” The trend has also gained steam on Facebook where the page Women Against Non-Essential Grooming (WANG) has attracted over 1,400 members and counting.
