Generally, people of other gender will only remove hair on skin that they expose. Since modern culture has a double standard in terms of dress, it therefore has a corresponing double standard in terms of hygiene. A lot of men who do go shirtless do removal their body hair, but expectations are still lower, for the reason I mentioned.

Armpit hair is actually kind of useful - it makes it much less slippery down there on a hot day, and if you're wearing deodorant, you're usually fine.

Dunno, I shave. It's more of a 'scratchy' thing.

Not all women do.

Those that do shave do it because it is part of their culture's notion of what is aesthetically pleasing.

Right. I'm calling the liberal crime squad. This is unfair treatment of women. It violates female rights by being a double standard.

This violates male rights by being a double standard too!

A while ago, in a crowded place with a bunch of other teenagers (right before a competition-type thing) me and my friends got in a circle and cheered "ONE! TWO! THREE! MISOGYNY! YAAAAY!" There were actually other people who started cheering with us on the counting part, including some girls. When the girls heard what we were cheering about, they looked embarrassed and walked away.

It was great.

Free protip: never shave your balls and/or buttcrack 2 days before a looooong paintball day.

If you dont know why, you can find out by lining your boxers with sandpaper.

And shaved armpits have a longer timeframe before they start to stink. I cultivate hair everywhere and even listen to the musical "hair" (I really do) but my armpits get a shave every month or so. That's usually enough, as if I trained my hair there. because my beard grows a hell lot faster.

I think people should be a lot more .... practical than they should be vain. So when you know you gonna be out all day, and active too, and it will take 14 hours to your next shower, consider shaved armpits ;)

and yet another thing to add ! Guys, get a shaving knife. Best way to shave, really. Once you learned the proper way to shave with it, you just cant go back. It's fast, it's clean, it's efficient, stylish... you can shave a 3 day old beard with it, and you can shave urist mchairyface after 2 years of jail, no problem, at the same speed. And it's like instant meditation. Also, a sharp knife on your throat gets you awake in the morning real good, its better than coffee.
