Picture this: you’re a 25-year-old woman, fresh out of a somewhat invasive surgery, and struggling with the simplest of tasks due to discomfort. You’re unable to bend over without pain, and even sitting down is a challenge. Now, imagine that your legs are turning into a winter wonderland, thanks to your Italian heritage’s gift of coarse hair. You ask your boyfriend for a little help with the grooming… and his reaction is not at all what you’d expect.
