it's their armpit, they can grow it if they want.
i just don't feel attracted to those who have hair in their armpits. just a personal preference.

edit : Actually, I caught myself in a lie. After searching myself a bit more, I have to admit that I personally do feel that less is more when it comes to body hair in women. I won't say how much of that is culture and how much is biological preference though Possibly, modern culture has found a way to exploit a natural preference by pushing our perception of "normal amount of body hair" to almost zero for women.

I don't subscribe to the notion of "masculine" and "feminine" because I observe so much variability among people. For example, using the wikipedia definition of "masculine," I observe that all people, regardless of gender, can display "physical prowess (strength, fitness, and a lack of laziness), courage, wisdom, and honourable or righteous behavior," and those are admirable characteristics in anyone, regardless of gender. I would say that if you are a man, then you are "masculine," however you behave or appear, because you are a man. Similarly, if I am a woman, then I am "feminine," however I behave or appear, because I am a woman. And that includes my body hair. It is female body hair, after all. Quote:
The most reasonable hypothesis I've read about why humans are relatively "hairless" compared to other primates is that lack of fur allows us to sweat and cool our bodies more efficiently, which would have been an evolutionary advantage among early humans who began long, hot treks while hunting and gathering across Africa several million years ago: Quote:

Yeah I wouldn't doubt if it was all personal preference, or it just comes from societal brainwashing. I wasn't trying to posit that my viewpoint is based out of evolution, but I think there must be some element in there somewhere. Maybe not, but this line in your article makes me wonder: Quote:

I find it unattractive and think its unhygienic. I shave my armpits as well, despite being told it was 'feminine' by men, and had some women seem a bit weirded out by the thought of it. I have found that even after a day working and sweating, I will still smell cleaner and fresher than my haired counterparts though, which justifies my decision in my opinion.

Cheap shot.

Unhygenic? Really? Soap and water plus deodorant works fine.
There is nothing wrong with armpit hair on women. Its not like they are going around flashing it.
