Results:

            For females exposing pubic hair:        28 votes

            no rule                                                 28 votes

            Against females exposing pubic hair: 47 votes

 

Comparing the ‘for’ and ‘against’ votes:

 

For: 28 votes ±11.3%= 28 votes±3.2 votes = a range of 24.8 to 31.2

Against: 47 votes±11.3%=47 votes ±5.3 votes = a range of 41.7 to 52.3

 

            Because the two ranges do not overlap, the difference between the numbers is statistically significant.

 

Discussion of Results for Proposition Number 6:

 

            The ‘against’ side wins. The Eligible Female ‘disagreement:agreement’ ratio was larger than that of the males. In Proposition Number 5 (P5), on the topic of male pubic hair, the difference between the genders was reversed. It appears as if people are more severe when the rule of prohibition applies to their own gender.

            Comparing the results for male pubic hair vs. female pubic hair: voters were, to a higher degree, against male pubic hair than female pubic hair. For example, Teen Females were 4:1 against male pubic hair, but only 2:1 against female pubic hair.

1.

F15 

 If shaved it’s okay.

2.

F50s 

 Shouldn’t see any anytime.

3.

F40s 

 Depends – public hair on armpits + legs? [yes, the voter wrote “public”, but probably meant ‘pubic’. One does not write ‘pubic’ very often so its easy to slip in the extra ‘l’ out of habit. Such a slip is pretty funny though.]

4.

M40s  

Women have pubic hair everywhere (armpits)

5.

F30s

 It should be a violation.

6.

F20-25  

also gross.

7.

F20-25 

 If a man can’t expose it, a woman can’t either!

8.

M20-25  

 If its exposing one’s genitals

9.

F20-25  

Women are expected to have trim bikini lines when wearing certain attire.

Also gross!

12.
