Yes I do but not cleanly shaven. There are parts that should be kept clean like the pits and other parts where just a trim would do it for men.

Trimming chest hair for example. Don't see many woman with chest hair regardless. Nothing misogynistic was meant in my post, don't take it out of context.

I also never claimed that you were being misogynistic.0 -
In general. Just wanted to clarify that before I get flamed ITT.0

LOL. How can you even begin to count the double-standards in life?
Having worked in a heavily male-dominated (and frankly, grubby) industry for my entire career, I've decided that I truly enjoy being "feminine". After working all day in a hard hat and steel-toed shoes, I'm ready to be a girl again.
Granted, what makes one feel feminine varies widely. It can be aesthetic.
For me personally shaving is one of the rituals of being a woman that I enjoy regularly.
It makes my skin very smooth, and whether you like it or not, hair provides surface area for bacterial growth, which can cause odor.
I enjoy putting on makeup but it's not something I do daily (it would just run off) or nearly as often as I shave.
I find interesting the backlash against shaving (or I should say against other women's preference FOR shaving) by women wearing heavy makeup (again, I love makeup it just seems interesting). Granted this is just judging by avatar and perhaps they don't actually wear it in real life? But if you do wear it, some could consider that a construct much the same as the introduction of shaving to women.
As for men who prefer women to be shaved...well I really really do not find a full beard attractive (or would not want to be physically close and rubbing on a full beard). I don't see that as a heck of a lot different.
Each to their own I guess.0 -

I didn't see the women who don't shave complaining about the women that do shave, in this thread at least.
I also don't think there's as much of a stigma about not wearing makeup as there is about not having hair on your body.
I have seen women complaining about other women's choices on other threads, however, and I think this is a big issue feminism fails to address much of the time. If women want respect for their gender then they need to stop putting each other down first and begin to empower one another, no matter their preferences
ETA I totally understand the wanting to feel "girly," I'm usually a bum in my college courses since there's no reason to get dressed up and it's nice to pamper yourself once in a while

I dont shave and I would never shame someone for choosing to do so...I dont see where anyone else did in this thread

I am pasty-white with BLACK hair, so, no. It would scare children. I shave/wax everything that needs it from the neck down.0

As a side note, hair is very porous, and tends to absorb and trap body odor. I do notice a definite difference in how far apart I need my showers to be, depending on my level of hairiness in armpit/crotchal regions. Tile is easier to clean up and keep clean than carpet. Just saying.0

Where was the backlash against shaving? I must have missed it.
Shaving and makeup are not one in the same.0 -
I don't shave regularly in the winter. Last winter I developed a terrible allergy to deodorant and shaving made it worse. I HAD to let my pits grow out to let them heal. I have since switched up to a more natural deodorant and the issue went away. I hate the hassle of shaving and would rather have hair, not stubble. Not shaving at all this winter. My husband actually prefers it.
No I do not smell, yes I am a hairy Italian chick, and I don't really care if other people think I am gross for not shaving. They aren't going to see it anyway! 0
