Family physician Emily Gibson made headlines recently for her public assertion that modern women should shy away from the practice of bikini waxing – which she referred to as the “war on pubic hair” – as the practice increases risk of various infections.
“The amount of time, energy, money and emotion both genders spend on abolishing hair from their genitals is astronomical,” said Gibson in an article on KevinMD.com. “The genital hair removal industry, including medical professionals who advertise their specialty services to those seeking the ‘clean and bare’ look, is exponentially growing.”
Hair removal in the United States cost Americans a whopping $2.1 billion, according to news website The Independent. And not long ago, photographs of young female celebrities leaving little to the imagination were seen on a near-daily basis, the exposed nature of the pictures showing just how prevalent the trend of pubic hair removal has become.
Every doctor picks her battles I guess.
Uhmmm…no comment.
So, it’s safe to say she’s just a bush league doc, then.

Alrighty, I’m off to play some tennis!

Okay, the phrase “war on” has officially jumped the shark. And done a full loop around the Earth and jumped it again.
