Rachel McAdams Embraces Unconventional Choices and Motherhood

Women are embracing their body hair and breaking from traditional grooming norms, with many Hollywood stars like Rachel McAdams, Janelle Monáe, Miley Cyrus, Julia Roberts, and Bella Thorne flaunting their unshaven underarms. A 2021 Body Image survey found that 46% of Americans between the ages of 16 and 34 have no preference on whether women should get rid of their underarm hair. Women on social media are using hashtags like #ArmpitHairIsNatural to spread the message of body hair acceptance and empowerment. Despite online detractors, women like Maria Margolies, Tasheena Rai, and SaRae Nixon are confident in their choice not to shave and feel sorry for anyone who feels they need to be hateful toward them based on whether they shave or not.
