The Why Factor - Female Body Hair
Why do so many women feel the need to get rid of their body hair? Why is it fine for a man to sport hairy legs, but unthinkable for most women?
It’s a sensitive subject - touching on ideas about female sexuality and gender politics that stretch back almost to the beginning of time.
