Hello, I’m Bertie. This column is basically a place for me to call bullshit on girl related stuff that I think is dumb.Hey, have you seen the new Gillette advert? The one in which Kate Upton declares (in not so many words) that she'd never be attracted to an ungroomed man. If you're naive like me, you may have thought that the ad – in which three young, glossy women confide that they prefer their male bodies various shades of hairless – might herald a new dawn. I thought maybe we had finally entered an era in which men were made to feel as ashamed of their naturally occurring body hair as women have been for decades. It wouldn't have been ideal, but it would have been better to share the shame around, right? Think of the follically liberated bonding we could have done over it.
