Why do us women have to get rid of our body hair when men don’t have to?

I think that body hair is nice on a man. I’m not one of those women who thinks men should be hairless, I think that is just plain weird to want a hairless man, it’s almost like they want a woman with a penis.
BUT anyway, why can’t we be hairy too when both sexes are naturally hairy anyway?

I shave and wax and bleach and all those things regularly, I am really paranoid about it, but it is so much work and upkeep that it stresses me out so bad, I really DON’T want to do this any more but I know that I have to bcos even if my boyfriend said it would be ok to be hairy, there is so much stigma to it I couldn’t do it.

Where has this need for women to be hairless come from?
Why should be be hairless?
Would you find a woman who kept her upper lip hair and thick eyebrows and hairy armpits and legs and vagina attractive? (hmmm I’m thinking if I were a guy NO)

ps; I couldnt afford to get laser hair removal bcos I don’t even work as I’m still working towrds my qualifications simply so I can get a job. But I will get it eventually.

I’m also not saying I have a hair problem any more than the next woman lol
PEOPLE – I am seeing a lot of "no one is telling you to shave/wax your hair" , well, hello, I know that. I am saying that it’s pretty clear it is unnaceptable in society, and whether you admit it or not their is a code where you have to do certain things that is considered attractive and normal etc, and hairless women come into that. I think its sad men can’t fancy us au natural and no I wont stop getting rid of hair purely bcos I LOVE to look gorgeous and have ppl fancy me. I love sex with my bf too and you know, hairyness isnt an option. But I don;t like the bother or getting rid of it.
Ben – I think men with back hair chest hair leg hair and pubes etc is soooo sexy!!!!! I love it. I am quarter italian and so i have pale olive skin but with black hairs everywhere! i have to hair bleech my chest and stomach and back, and also shave/wax my legs and bikini and shave my arms.
Joseph Smith – I agree, I think women with pubic hair look much hornier, in a non lesbo way, its hot.

My bf wants me to shave down there… I don’t want to?

I shave my bikini area but leave most of the top and the lips–I only shave what shows when you wear a bikini. The other day my bf went down on me–and the next morning he told me that I should shave my vagina—I said "I liek it like this..besides it’s not like i’m hairy, i keep it clean and trimmed and shaved around" and he says he wants it all to be shaved because it hurts his mouth! I really don’t wnat to shave all of it, it is annoying, I hate the itch and the bumps too much upkeep. So my question is, is this the norm now? Is this what guys expect of women these days?
