I Think That If Women Should Shave, So Should Men

I have always thought this! It's only been in the last 15 or 20 years that it has become normal for females to remove all their hair down there without being called weird, but men still have a long way to go before they achieve the same equality.

Until a few hundred years ago I believe all women shaved in most countries.
Certainly in the Middle East.

So it's cyclical.

As far as males? Good question.
But things seem to be moving that way...

Well, the carvings, drawings and sculptures of the cross-cultural medieval times (and earlier) mostly portray naked females without pubic hair, but this may have been because of artistic reasons rather than a true representation of the human form.

@Glossy: many written sources describe bare as the norm.
Even considered pubic hair on women dangerous....

In those days, it probably was. One more thing to keep clean and free of lice.

@Glossy: though it seems men didn't.
Maybe women more sensitive to those issues given the more exposed sensitive anatomical parts?

And I'm sure aesthetics play a part.
As they do now.
