I don't remember all the details, but basically: The question was when she had "started to stop shaving her legs". And she explained that in school she had been this angry, angsty teen who thought not shaving was a fuck you to the patriarchy or something along those lines, and then she just got lazy and realized how convenient it was not to have to shave. Then she said something about coming to Europe for the first time, and people telling her that women in Europe didn't shave, but the only one she saw was a 65-year-old Italian. *lol* Anyway, point was that now she shaves sometimes, and sometimes she doesn't, according to what she feels like. And that people should just do whatever feels best for them, and not care if some magazine tells them they're icky for not shaving or some feminist tells them they're a tool of the patriarchy for shaving. Something along those lines.
It was pretty funny and true. I love how she can just stand up and ramble on about a random topic and have it come out coherent and making sense.
