In case you didn't know how shaving armpit and leg hair for women became a norm, you can blame the relentless advertising campaigns. At the beginning of the 20th century, women, and of course society in general, couldn't care less about the hair growing on their bodies.

As women, we tend to have long ish hair. Like men, when us women are alone, sitting on our couch, watching Pawn Stars , our hand will sometimes involuntarily make its way down into our underpants.

All I know for sure is that the act is inextricably linked to a self-destructive disposition. As a rhythm-less woman like myself, there is nary a moment in my day when I can practice my grind in peace and quiet. Which is unfortunate, because I need all the practice I can get.
