Did you know there is a war going on? It’s fought every day, in every bathroom across the world. THE WAR ON HAIR. In this episode we answer your burning questions: When did women start getting rid of body hair? Who decided it wasn't ok to have it? And what can we do to change societal expectations for men and women? We also explore the wild world of merkins, the kingpin of the body hair industry,  and the invention of unrealistic beauty standards.
