If it isn’t feminine then why do we grow it?

Preferences are personal and that’s okay. I love being shaved (I even get laser hair removal) and prefer my partner shaved, but I’d never judge someone for choosing differently. What’s unfair? Men get to exist naturally and still be called “masculine,” while women face pressure to alter our bodies to be “feminine.” Weaves, heels, makeup, lash extensions, hair removal, these unnatural rituals are framed as “feminine essentials.” But “feminine” literally means “pertaining to women.” And women naturally have body hair. Teen girls, grown women, we’re born with it. Evolution gave us body hair for a reason. To say it’s “unfeminine” implies our natural state is masculine, which is absurd. Do you think societal ideas of ""femininity"" pressure women into unnecessary body modifications? Why or why not?

Some random guy walked up to me in the store and said “You need shave. Nobody wants a hairy woman. I responded saying “And you should really shave that beard that goes down to your abdomen. I don’t think women will like a man’s beard who every time he walks around he gets mistaken for Bigfoot because you’re so hairy.” he stood there frozen at what I said I just give a light nod, and turned around and walked away.
