From an examination of (1) psychological and social stresses documented by the medical profession of women with amounts of hair departing from what is considered to be the "feminine" distribution of hair (idiopathic hirsutism), (2) biomedical information about male and female hair growth and distribution, (3) definitional influences of society, and (4) instrumental maneuverings of depilatory industries, this paper offers insights about the alteration of natural female facial and body hair to conform to a social construct of gender status. Although the hair problem is interesting in itself, its implications are much broader, for what lies behind conceptions of abnormality is a biological reality mediated by social constructs and classificatory schema.
（1）医学专业记录的心理和社会压力，这些压力来自头发量偏离被认为是“女性化”头发分布的女性（特发性多毛症）；（2）关于男性和女性头发生长及分布的生物医学信息；（3）社会的定义性影响；（4）脱毛行业的手段操控，本文提供了关于改变女性自然面部和身体毛发以符合性别地位社会建构的见解。尽管毛发问题本身就很有趣，但其影响更为广泛，因为异常观念背后是由社会建构和分类模式介导的生物现实。
