Retarded bluepillers.... I had to say something....
Obviously they didn't get it....
So this is what I answered:
It's true that in most cultures of the past women didn't shave. But that is because shaving isn't something that is very easy to do regularly without the proper tools. They didn't want to irritate their skin or cause scarring using an inadequate blade.
Still, there were many cultures in the past in which it was done. The egyptians, romans and indians all practiced female hair removal. They used seashells and even sugar based waxes. There were also cultures where both genders shaved, but you can never find a single culture in which only men were expected to shave. Why? Because having less hair is inherently a feminine trait.
Historically, European women generally didn't bother to shave because they were always wearing dresses outside. A woman's legs weren't often exposed in public, so it didn't affect society's outward perception of their beauty. But that doesn't mean that men didn't prefer it on average, it just wasn't customary to do it. There are travel logs from Spanish and Portuguese explorers who arrived in South America in which they recount how beautiful they thought the local native women looked because of their shaved bodies. They weren't used to that in Europe. So even men who grew up in an environment where it was the norm for women to not shave, still found hairless bodies more feminine and attractive.
What you said about the razor companies promoting it is true, but you're forgetting other factors that played a big role. People started getting married later in life and dating longer, that made physical attractiveness more important. (You wouldn't care as much for your looks if you were getting an arranged marriage at 18). The culture also softened a lot on dressing restrictions, women started to dress in a more revealing way. All of those things contributed to the appearance of a woman's legs starting to matter.
There's also the fact that shaving is a fairly easy thing to incorporate into one's routine, and it really makes a big difference in one's attractiveness. So it's no wonder nearly all women started doing it since it is beneficial for themselves, it increases their attractiveness. After men got used to nearly all women being shaven, an unshaven woman will look unattractive to him.
Let me illustrate that with an analogy: Nearly all women prefer a man in very good shape who has a 6 pack. But that is something that is hard to obtain, it takes a long time and effort to get there. So although most women like it, they don't require their partners to have that. However, if men could get a 6 pack as easily as shaving is, nearly all men would start doing it because it would make them more attractive. Once nearly all men start having a 6 pack, women will get used to it and start to see it as something obvious and that all men should have. Do you agree with me now?
