They be fair, the whole hair and woman thing is part of thelarger systemic injustice that women face. It’s one of those things where societal norm and personal preference blur together. It’s a tough one, for sure.
That said, I’m with you on the whole we’ve gone too far limiting peoples preferences and choices. It’s our differences and unique qualities and makes the world interesting (and possibly better).
I mean I get why some women choose to keep their body hair and I think that’s rad, but at the same time they can’t be upset if a man chooses not to get involved with them because of it.
People have preferences, and no one complains when women have grooming standards for the men they do stuff with
That’s fine as long as you don’t make a big deal about men who only date women based on their physical characteristics and their performance of traditional gender roles…
I get the societal norm angle when we’re talking about armpits/ legs because you can see those. A girl could go to the beach and see all the other women/girls having shaved legs / armpits and feel gross or ugly for being the one with hair there and feel judged because it’s on display.
With pubes though you’re not going to see others so you don’t know the norm or have as much expectations on how a women should look, and other people, besides intimate partners, aren’t going to see yours so you don’t feel as judged.
So it’s more of a matter between the women and there partner rather then society, which can be addressed in an abusive manner, but can also be addressed in a healthy communicative manner.

Totally. I only dated tall wealthy men with a full head of hair for the same reason. 😉

Most women’s swimwear requires maintenance of pubic hair to wear without getting bikini spiders.
