Related to a post from few days ago. Basically, it's first time I'm hearing about it, I thought that general consensus is that humans shouldn't really be having body hair(since we evolved past that) and nothing about voice in general.

I have basically the same voice since I was 12 and have no hair except on top of the head, eyebrows and eyelashes and never heard of it being considered feminine, I thought that it's completely normal thing for both genders alike, but I of course never cared about gender norms so this stuff never came to my mind.

Can someone explain this stuff and what other things are unnecessarily separated between genders for some reason?

I read that it was normal for women to keep their body hair until razor companies started marketing ads towards women, making them think they'd be more beautiful hair-free. Soon porn started featuring mainly hair-free women, so more and more men grew up thinking this was normal. Eventually hair removal amongst women became the norm, to the extent that now a woman is considered ugly or unkempt if she doesn't remove her body hair. So the whole thing was just about making money.
