16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: I won't either. Is the subject. Dear Stephen Shirley. That

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: is crazy. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty one year

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: old married woman and my husband and I are at

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: odds since the pandemic began. He has been growing his

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: hair out and I'm not a fan of it. At all.

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: He hasn't shaved in weeks, and he hasn't had a

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: hair cut in almost six months. He looks like a

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: darn grizzly bear and it's disgusting. He says he's waiting

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: to see how big his frow can get, because he's

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: never grown it out before so far. I don't like it,

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: and it's a big turn off. I've never been a

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: fan of excessive body here, and he knows this. I

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: expected him to stay neat, clean and trim since I'm

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: the one that's sleeping with him. He hasn't trimmed his hair,

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: he has not shaved his beard, and a few other

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: places on his body need to be maintained. I've had enough,

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: so I devised a plan to seek revenge. From my

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: plan to work, I had to withhold sex for him

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: from him for close to a month. I told him

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: that I wasn't in the mood every time he tried

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: to touch me. Three nights ago, it was time to

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: execute my plan. We were getting ready to be intimate

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 1: and he got all excited while he was removing my clothes. Then, surprise,

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: he suddenly realized that I had not shaved either. He's

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: not used to seeing me like that. I have always

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: been neatly groomed everywhere just for him. I smiled at

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: him and asked him how he feels when the shoe

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: was on the other foot. He did not think that

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: was funny at all. Now he's very upset with me

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: and said that I can't do what he does. I

46
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: told him to shave his back, his face in that

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: other place, or he'll never make love to me again.

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: He says, I am being selfish for not supporting his

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: new look. Why do I have to shave if he's

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: not willing to? Am I wrong for how I feel?

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Are you wrong? Are you wrong? Is that the question?

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something right now? You are my Shiro.

53
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: You're my Shiro. A whole lot of women are standing

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: up and cheering for you right now. Trust to me

55
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: on this. They are standing up and sharing for you,

56
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: and I hope you can feel us. I really do.

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's okay for a while. You know,

58
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: we've been in this pandemic. It's okay the beards, the

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: unkempt facial and body hair. But but come on now,

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: enough is enough and we're sick of it. We are

61
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: tired of the cave man. Look, Game of Thrones is

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: over us, not on TV anymore. And sorry, but you

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: know there's no double standard here, the nerve of him.

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: How dare he try to play that card by saying

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: you can't do what I do? The double standard does

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: not apply here, because yes we can, and your wife

67
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: proved that to you. We can grow our hair all

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: over too, and you don't like it, right, you showed

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: him that. But women are expected to say, are we

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: really are? We're expected to shave our legs, shave our

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: under arms, you know, shave everywhere so we don't look

72
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: like you know, cave women and grizzly bears as you

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: call it. So no, we both need to shave. Okay,

74
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: So I say, look, let's get back to shaving and

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: grooming ourselves around here and stop thinking that we can

76
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: let ourselves go, because sadly there is nowhere to go

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: in this pandemic. We're still at home. We still have

78
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, our significant others, our husbands, our wives, boyfriend's girlfriends,

79
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: whatever to look nice around. Don't just let yourself go.

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: He knows how you feel. You told him it's nothing new,

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: and now it's a turn off, which is affecting the

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: intimacy in your marriage. That's very important. And I don't

83
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: think shaving or not shaving is worth that. This is

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: an easy fix, easy fix. So I hope he gets

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: whatever he uses magic shave, razors, clippers, whatever it is,

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: and you know, starts to cut that mess down. It's

87
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: an easy fix, Steve. I'm going to need what is

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:05:06,880

109
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: I want to say that I hate the strange letter

110
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: to makes no damn sense that we have to address

111
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: the cleanliness of the body. Bible says cleanliness is next

112
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: to godliness. Yeah, and both these people's is going to hell,

113
00:07:53,200 --> 00:08:03,000
