Hmm ... can't the same be said for beards on men?
Amen. I'd love to grow a beard and never have to shave again. However, my wife has made it clear that if I do so, I will be cut off from any lovin' until I shave it off.
I'm a victim of a matriarchal conspiracy to juvenilize and objectify men!
Maybe it's time to tell my honey that it works both ways-- if she gets to keep her natural thicket, I'll grow a full beard. If she gets a "landing strip" I'll just do a goatee, and if she wants me to be clean shaven then she needs to set up an appointment for the full Brazilian wax job....

Yes, it is the same thing. For thousands of years, in most countries of the world, women did not shave. In the larger scheme of things, it was a few men, trying to sell a few products in the 20th century, that required women to be artificially and superficially changed by removing their body hair. Many men "say" they want a real, natural, genetic woman, but in reality, they dont. They want something artificial that looks like a Barbie doll.
