I used to love Amanda Palmer. This kind of stuff is making me not so sure. Like others say, it smacks of "jumping the shark".
Also, I'm not sure I completely feel comfortable with the sentiment. Who made it her job to judge whether or not being shaved makes you any less of a woman? It certainly doesn't make you look like an eight year old. As far as I know Amanda makes a bit of a thing about body hair being about choice, so why rag on those of us who make the choice - sometimes - to shave?
She has said that this song is about having the right, and the power, to make the choice. It's not a preachy song where she is saying that being shaved is the wrong choice, she is simply saying it's not her choice. Amanda Palmer is that woman with a strong voice who has never kept her opinions to herself, so she's making a strong statement. But she's also always spoken out for the rest of the women, and she says she's answered to this song quite a bit since writing it and wants people to know it's about choosing.

It was written in about 15 minutes, and is really a fun song. It's not meant to be harmful. If you hear or read anything Amanda has said about this song, she has stressed again and again that the song is for everyone, shaved or unshaved, waxed or hairy.
Exactly as ladydimitria said. Amanda has always faced flack for rarely shaving her legs and arm pits. She's an awesome, confident woman who believes in choice. I'd imagine that she has spent a large portion of her adult life being told that it's wrong for her not to shave so she's just shouting from the roof tops that either way is good, it's all about personal choice.
