Shave this! Arrrggh!

What do you think? The new RM1 look

As a woman there are certain things I buy that I feel like we just shouldn’t have to pay for,or at least pay that much for.  Tampons and pads are a fine example.  I mean come on there is nothing happy about our periods and charging me out the ass to have something to bleed on irks me.  Today I decided that women’s razors are way to expensive  as well and it is now annoying to buy them.  They are twice as much as mens and yes I know I can go buy a mens razor, but the truth is I like mine to be pink.  

For the past two weeks I have been conducting a social experiment to see how long I can get my leg hair without making the general public (or my husband) barf.   Ok I’m lying.  It’s not a social experiment, I have just been super broke running the back to school money dispensary and I could not afford the bank loan I needed to buy a god damn razor.  Seriously, you practically need to take out a small business loan to buy a stupid razor.

This morning I went to Safeway and I had to break down and buy a razor.  First of all, the damn things are almost $20! Second of all, now they keep the cartridge refill packs in a glass case under lock and key just like the condoms and the Sudafed!  What the hell? Do we now shave our legs with sold gold? Diamonds maybe?  They actually expected me to go ask someone to help me get a damn razor? Why? RM2 informed that they say they do it because someone might “tamper or contaminate” them.  I guess the theory is that someone will go buy a pack, use one to shave their armpits and then drive back to the store and return it to their shelves just so some poor unsuspecting person will buy it and get contaminated.  Okay, yeah, totally plausible scenario.  We think they are full of shit.

I am not sure about the rest of you Renegades but I am sick and tired of corporate male greed robbing women of their money to buy shit we need like tampons.  I am sick of us being charged twice as much for the same thing as men only because the stupid thing is pink with purple gel conditioners. Men own these companies and they set the standard and we fork over the dough to be hairless and to not bleed all over the floor. If anything was ever going to turn me into a kleptomaniac it is this.  I wish to become the Tampon Razor Pirate and rob these corporate penis’ blind!

I wish I was enough of a hippie to protest and boycott tampons and razors but I’m not.  So instead I will just bitch about it on my blog.  Thanks for listening.
