I can remember when I started to shave my legs due to pressure from others of my age and my dad going mad as 'There is nothing wrong with you as you naturally are'. Both parents were great at supporting a healthy body image. I do shave now but only every couple of weeks to style my beard (yes im a bearded lady)if others don't like it - tough! For me it's one of the may joys of being asexual.
Fascinating! I often find myself wondering why on earth we women are subjected to the expectation that we shave -- usually when I'm frustrated with the price of razor blades or with how fast my hair grows back. Thanks for the links!
@Anon: Come to think of it, I have some facial hair (like more than peach fuzz, but less than a beard) and usually I don't do much about it. Yet I can only remember getting one comment about it ever. So yeah...maybe people don't notice hair as much as I think they do.
@Emily: Hey, another Emily! I'm glad you liked the links.
