Well Diego Rivera was one of the biggest deal painters of his day.
I definitely don't much see the point of shaving your legs during seasons when you're in pants anyway (though some of my friends just really enjoy the feel of smooth legs, which is perfectly valid). I think hairy legs look kinda icky (on either gender) and while with shorts one could rock the casual thing I think I would wanna shave for a skirt (which is a major reason I only wear pants and sometimes long skirts/dresses -- because I don't feel like bothering with shaving my legs).
I actually don't mind underarm hair much at all. I certainly see the aesthetic appeal of smoothness there, especially if one were wearing like an evening gown, but I don't find it aesthetically unappealing much at all.
Since the beginning of civilization, a huge part of a woman's role was to look pretty so a man would take her. So. I'm not surprised we still groom ourselves more than most men.

Yeah, that definitely makes sense.
