I've never understood why people remove pubic hair in particular. I find it creepy.

As for me, I'm not that hairy, but I did start shaving my legs and armpits in middle school just out of self preservation. I was already harassed pretty bad at the time, so my reasoning was that I didn't want to give people another thing to bother me about. I don't mind body hair at all. I still remove it just out of habit, I guess at this point. I don't think my partner would care if I didn't. But I've only ever seen a woman in public one time who had visible underarm and leg hair. So maybe I'm not as feminist as I think I am on this issue. It's not like people don't already stare at me for being GNC, what's one more thing for them to stare at?
