A Swedish model says she has received rape threats for posing in an advertisement with unshaved legs. Arvida Byström, who is also a photographer and digital artist, appears in a video and photograph promoting Adidas Originals’ Superstar range. She wrote on Instagram: “Me being such an abled, white, cis body with its only nonconforming feature being a lil leg hair. Literally I’ve been getting rape threats in my DM inbox. In the Adidas video, Byström says: “I think femininity is usually created from our culture so I think everybody can do feminine things, can be feminine.
