Some of them certainly try, though, don't they! Men must feel pigeonholed by women sometimes, too.
The thing about underarm hair and "femininity" that always struck me as very odd is how a thing that women naturally have...hair growing from their armpits...is somehow considered not womanly. Yet armpit hair is female hair. Made from female hair cells that contain XX chromosomes. And the whole biological purpose of underarm hair apparently is to signal sexual maturity.
Distaste for hair on women's bodies just shows the strength of culture and the maleabliity of human minds, for better or worse.
Thanks for sticking up for those of us who have our hair, Paloma. My underarm hair salutes you! (And it probably could!
)
