"Who decided women should shave their legs?"
Men who decided they didn't want to sleep next to a cactus plant.
My wifes legs come in handy when I run out of sandpaper....
Actually, if the legs had never been shaved, they wouldn't get cactusy. (New word, just invented it here.)
I'll never forget the time I was in college and baby sat for a weekend for the kids of a former teacher and his wife. I slept on the couch, and in the morning, one of the kids slid under the foot end of my blanket.
When the parents came home, he announced to them that I had "thistley" legs.
I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me right then and there.

Actually women who DON'T shave their legs have smooth non-prickly legs. It is the women who haven't shaved every day or two who have the uncomfortable legs
