You may have heard that girls are icky and stinky and covered in cooties.
Well; it turns out that IT’S ALL TRUE!
The Men’s Rights futurist over at the Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Technology blog has discovered a survey from earlier this year suggesting that most UK women don’t shower every day. “[I]t turns out that women are taking less and less showers,” he writes, with evident alarm.
In a British survey, nearly 80% of women admitted that they aren’t taking daily showers. Many women are even showering less than once every three days. (Additionally, two thirds of women in the survey don’t remove their makeup before they go to bed, and one eighth of women in the survey admitted to not brushing their teeth before they go to bed.)
Never mind that the survey apparently didn’t include men, and that it was conducted by a company that used it to push its skin-care products. The poor blogger sees this as clear and incontrovertible evidence that women are becoming stinkier and stinkier and will ultimately explode from sheer stinkiness, or something.
At this rate, women are going to stop showering and taking baths. In a hot month like August women are going to stink, and it will be a very nasty stink. And that’s before adding on the stink from that will come from refusing to properly use a toilet.
Wait, women don’t use toilets?
Apparently.
In a previous blog post, which I wrote about here, Mr. Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Tech concluded, based on his own highly scientific study of women that consisted of watching a couple of episodes of Jersey Shore and Bad Girls Club Mexico, that women (and by “women” he means “Snooki”) sometimes piss their pants and cover up the stink with perfume. And other times women (and by women he means someone or other on Bad Girls Club Mexico) pee in buckets while riding in limos and then later they hand “the piss filled bucket to some guy to deal with.”
From this, he concluded that “We’re Going To Need Litter Boxes For Women In The Future,” as the title of his post put it.
And now the whole shower thing. It’s like it’s like some kind of stankocalypse!
This will be a just another reason for men to go their own way. Very few men will choose to deal with women who continuously stink and are covered in a layer of filth. It’s disturbing that women think that they can do this without men objecting to it.
In the comments, one fellow suggests that women have pretty lax standards when it comes to male hygiene as well:
Women … swoon over homeless hobo’s, serial killers & greasy drummers, filthy hygiene comes naturally to the average chick
Why do you think housework & washing dishes is oppressive to women …
Women are feral barbaric & uncivilized, no limits when it comes degenerative women
So, in other words, not only are women to blame for their own allegedly poor hygiene, they are responsible for the poor hygiene of “homeless hobo’s” and “greasy drummers” as well. Also, for dirty dishes.
All this reminds me of those terrifying but all-too-real ads from the 40s and 50s urging women to wash out their you-know-whats with Lysol.
Mother Jones has an interesting and horrifying piece on how Lysol was used not only for “feminine hygiene” but as a (completely ineffective) form of birth control.
Roosh complains about clipping his nails, wiping his bum and getting muck out of his eyes every morning and it’s *women* who smell!
I miss Snooki. 🙁
I absolutely have to shower every day, or I start to smell immediately. Sometimes I have to shower again before bed, even if I already showered that morning. I hate this body sometimes.
My wife can go several days without a shower and still smell great. She also doesn’t sweat. Misandry!
@Dvärghundspossen,
true. If you were to ask me if I showered every day I’d say yes (though not my hair, I wash that every three days). However if you were to ask if I have ever left the house without showering, I’d have to say yes, because sometimes alarms don’t go off or early flights have to be caught.
I was raised by a woman who is fanatically hygiene conscious, she has at least one shower or bath every day, and she gets through packets of anti-bacterial wipes at a rate of knots. So I grew up thinking mushrooms would sprout on me and flies would start buzzing round if I skipped a wash.
Then in my early twenties I was traveling on the cheap, sometimes staying in places where you wouldn’t want to get undressed, or even leave any of your luggage unattended for five minutes, and it was liberating to discover that actually I could go three days without smelling at all.
I shower every other day because the water in my area is metered and has the most expensive rates in the whole country. Seriously, it’s expensive. Though sometimes if I’m particularly sweaty in the morning, especially if the previous work day has been more hot and physical than usual, I’ll quickly wash my body but not my hair.
I live in Ireland, and it is currently 52 degrees F, with 90 percent humidity, and I have most of the windows in the house wide open, enjoying the delicious breeze. I moved here from Texas a year and a bit ago. This temperature, on the Gulf coast, is called “winter”. My husband (the Irishman responsible) was offended when he arrived in Texas in July and I told him he must start showering every day and using deodorant. No, really, the precious man had never used it. Now that we’re back, he has stopped using it, and stopped showering every day, and does not smell bad. I, however, seem to have retained the ability to stink like hell by evening if I fail to use antiperspirant in the morning. My theory is that my skin bacteria are just different from his.
I think it was in A Fine Balance where some characters in the novel move in together, and they each think the others stink, until after a period of all eating the same foods they stopped stinking to each other.
Which is now making me wonder…there are some foods that real manly men don’t eat, or always eat, because a lot of what we’d consider ‘food’ is what the consider ‘girly food’–I wonder if it may be that at least for some of these guys their diet is different enough to what most of the people around them eat that they stink to us and we stink to them?
I work nights. Sometimes when it’s a choice between the snooze button and a shower, the snooze button wins. But I still always check my smell and tidy up with a washcloth, because otherwise ew.
I’ve known women who start worrying about their smell before they’ve even finished their workout. I’m pretty sure this dude does not need to fear the unwashed hordes of stinkmaidens anytime soon.
Yeah, I’m not an everyday bather and darn right, too. Every other day, unless I’m dirty or particularly sweaty. I don’t think it’s good for my skin or my hair to wash constantly. Yes, I live in the UK, but I was like that when I lived in the US. I used to catch a lot of flack from my family about this, but now they’ve come around to my way of thinking.
Oh, and can I say that I’m sooooo glad I grew up in an age with 1) access to birth control (more or less) and 2) and an acceptance that douching is not good for the vagina. I have never used one.
Kreator sez:
Yeah. If you’ve ever wondered why bathing, especially bathing before bed, is such a thing in Japanese culture, just come experience a summer here. You can get disgusting just opening the window to hang the laundry out to dry, never mind trying to leave the house.
Also, praise be upon the person who invented the towelket. If you’re going to sweat all night, it really helps to wrap up in a breathable, absorbent blanket made out of towel material.
“…swoon over homeless hobos…”
Wait…wasn’t this exactly what MRAs want us to do? Isn’t that a big thing over on AVFM, complaining about how women are so mean to homeless guys and don’t find them sexy?
Guys guys guys I think I’ve just found the poster child for all the MGTOWs/RPers/MRAs/manospherians combined.

He is a walking talking archetype oh my god. Context: the comment is in response to a video posted about two men saving a woman from being beaten by her (ex?) husband in a car park.
Isn’t the explanation for armpit hair and pubic hair that it evolved to act as an odour trap?
I don’t want to get into TMI territory here but it may be that not every chap is put off by the natural scent of a woman. Presumably there’s a reason why musk is a popular ingredient in colognes and perfumes.
On the subject of perfumes. One question I’d really love to know the answer to is who was the person who originally said:
“Hey, you know what would make this ridiculously expensive perfume even better? Whale barf.”
Wait… I thought MRA’s were huge evo-psych fans. They should be complaining some made up BS that women are not washing so they load up on pheromones to control all of the men around them to do their bidding.
But seriously – this is one of the dumbest slippery slope arguments I have read in a while. I would also not be surprised to learn the guy who complained about poor toilet habits from women is also one of the guys who feels he does not need to wash his hands after going number one.

Likely the same person who thought “I’d totally eat that” when looking at a snail crawling on a rock in the river. 😛
Darnit!

Only when evo-psych’s unfalsifiable-just-so-stories-posing-as-hypotheses square with their misogynistic agenda.
But two can play at that game.
For example, one could argue that “chicks dig assholes” is a viable evolutionary strategy for women as assholes tend to be decisive and indecisiveness is likely to get you killed on the Pleistocene savannah (the evo-psycho’s environment of choice), thus ensuring her mate is around long enough to provide for her offspring. Or that a certain amount of “cucking” on a woman’s part is to be expected from an evolutionary perspective as it maximises the genetic diversity of her offspring and lowers the risk of them all dying of some inherited disorder.
What’s that, MRAs? You don’t like those scenarios? Well, there’s about as much evidence for them (i.e., none) as any other bit of evo-psych garbage you’d like to trot out…
The anthropologist Desmond Morris, while not averse to a few cranky evolutionary ideas of his own (e.g., that women’s breasts are some kind of “replacement ass” that developed when humans switched from doggy-style to face-to-face mating– yes, really) pointed out that there’s this kind of weird arms race at work when it comes to human sexual signalling, especially for women:
Women shave their armpit hair and wash themselves to remove their natural musk… and then wear perfumes containing other animals’ musks
Women wear long dresses to disguise the sway of their hips when they walk (I’m going out on a limb here but I think ol’ Desmond is an ass man 😀 )… and then wear high-heeled shoes that emphasises it
With men there’s fewer examples, but you do have the penis sheaths worn by certain tribes in South America, or the codpieces worn in Renaissance Europe, whose ostensible job is to hide the genitals but end up drawing attention to them…
Conclusion: humans be crazy 😀
Alan Robertshaw | August 31, 2015 at 7:35 am: not fair! We only found out it was whale barf later! I mean, it could have been anything… any old thing at all we just found washed up on the beach one day…
He was also quite into cats; he did a book on them.
@ Catamara
So do you think it once went like this down at L’Oriel:
“Dead Squid? Nope”
“Bit of fishing line? Nope”
“Random chunk of Polystyrene?” Etc.
@catmara:
heh. I had completely forgotten about him. I remember some of my college anthropology professors discussing him and the breasts=butt theory. If I remember those lectures right, none seemed to believe it. It was 10+ years ago, but I think it was in the same class that discussed the aquatic ape theory and other pseudo-scientific ideas folks had on how humans evolved.
Well, it’s usually from other critters (skunks and civets, anyone?) or synthetic, or even plant-derived…but yeah. In small quantities, that stuff smells GOOD.
My long-time go-to scent in my twenties was The Body Shop’s White Musk, which is plant-derived. Always got compliments on it, even if I hadn’t showered that day. And the guys were never the wiser. MISANDRY!
