I mean, according to a research paper published by Brandeis University and its sources, the whole "women need to be shaved" thing was started by Gillette to sell razors, correlates with perceiving women as younger and a tendency to fetishise youth.

Considering the evolutionary roots, men should feel attracted to female body hair, as it is a secondary sexual characteristic, such as breast size and waist to hip ratio, and hence a sign of sexual maturity and ability to procreate. [...]

Biologically, sexually mature females have body hair, but society has made femininity more connected to youth and pre-pubescence than to a woman’s ability to reproduce.

So if you like them unshaved, that's natural (but no longer normal). If you like them shaved, that's normal (but not natural).

And if you don't like them at all, you're lucky to sidestep that question.

    It's so weird when you see that specific subset of men (and to be fair, some women too) whining about how 'body hair is unnatural for women'.
