If you're going that way, then why is shaving your legs and armpits and plucking and bleaching in all kinds of other places not even questioned?

In the 70's there was quite a decent sized movement to get rid of female shaving entirely. I snuck out my parents' copy of The Joy of Sex enough to learn that "soon women will cease shaving altogether"....copyright date 1971. The 70's were a blip in American history.

When exactly did leg shaving become the thing to do? Did the aristocratic ladies of the 1700's shave their legs? Did the pioneer women of the 1800's take time to shave their legs? Just how much is that connected with the idea of a woman being a young girl? Or is it about tactile sensations instead?

"What lengths will we go to for our men?" I know it's my programming, but I shave because I feel better shaved - and that goes for all my shaving. I sure as hell don't endure shaving my nether-region for HIM - fvck, there's no way I'd do that. I do it for the better sex that I get out of it.
