Subject: Ecofeminist Dilemma
Here's one for you:
With respect to my questions about bringing disposable razors for women in
Cuba a colleague of mine who spent a summer in Cuba just after the revolution
tells me that many Cuban women do not shave their legs, but the reason is to
distinguish themselves as hispanic, rather than native <as native or Indian
people tend to have less body hair>. What do we make of that?
