When it comes to beauty standards, we embrace the females who serve us buzz cuts, taste the rainbow, and shake off stretch-mark shame because convention is a limitation that should have been phased out long ago. Although internet trolls might think otherwise, the same applies to armpit hair. After Lola Kirke was sent death threats following this year's Golden Globes appearance, now more than ever we must remind ourselves that it isn't a necessity for us to have a razor clutched in hand every time we step into the shower.
