Girl has not shaved her mustache and eyebrows for a year and shows it in networks

Nail Danish He decided do not pluck your mustaches or eyebrows to protest against stereotype of “ideal woman”. It is Eldina Jaganjac, 31 years old, who lives in Copenhagen. “If a man doesn’t shave and pluck his eyebrows, no one notices or comments anything, and that’s nothing out of the ordinary,” he says.

The young woman grew up in a small town where everyone was expected to meet social expectations and have desired aspects, as reported by The Sun. But as he got older he started to feel frustrated, because I saw that many people expected her to invest money and time to maintain one type of appearance.

Like many other women, I have learned to control myself. For example, before, I didn’t feel comfortable stepping out and my eyebrows were not the accepted size. OR I didn’t go to the gym unless my legs were shaved“, He said. Therefore, in March 2020, Eldina decided to stop waxing the hair between the eyebrows and the hairs of the upper lip and posts photos on her Instagram account. Although she’s not interested in what people think of her appearance, she admits that many men have shouted at her on the street: “Epilate that”.

“At first it was uncomfortable. Some teenagers also yelled at me, but it didn’t matter. I think it’s hard to understand gender roles as a teenager and growing up, so I think seeing a woman doing something that is considered ‘less feminine’ confuses them and they start to reconsider. question their own standards on what it means to be a man. “Although the young woman said that there were also people who told her that what she was doing was ‘great’, some adults looked at her as if she had a ‘third head’.

Eldina considers her facial hair to be a “blessing” for dating, because they allow you to notice if your suitors are “conservatives” who are quickly put off by their appearance. “I chose to focus on my goals and not on my appearance. Before I let my ‘unibrow’ grow, I felt there were extremely limited options on how women looked, ”he said.

As soon as she made the decision to grow her facial hair, she explained, many friends told her they didn’t agree.

The Danish assures that she is not afraid to be “different” in a crowd, but insists that it is important for people to choose whether or not they want to wax. “Do what is comfortable for you and good friends will stay. I don’t think it’s fair to spend time and money just to be visually acceptable“.

Finally, he added: “I think we have to ask ourselves the question: ‘Why, as a society, do we consider it so important that women wax their bodies? “I think it shouldn’t be relevant, because there are other more important things to focus on“.
