Why is female body hair considered unattractive? (a.k.a. should I shave my legs?)

In this video we're going deep into the female body hair debate, talking about the history of body hair removal and why it's considered unattractive to have body hair as a woman, even in 2023. After taking you through a hair removal history timeline, I explain why body hair positivity is so important, it's ties to feminism, and why something that's often brushed off as trivial is actually a symptom of larger patriarchal systems and gender binaries.
