Shaving: unnecessary but required?

Shaving is a practice that is practiced by both the male and female sex. Throughout culture, It has become the norm for women to have shaved legs and armpits, and for men to shave their facial hair. Of course, having a beard is acceptable too, but if you don't have a beard, you're expected to be clean shaven. The intelligence of the body is that we are aware of how to shave the hair off of our bodies, and only we have the agency to do it. A woman with shaven legs and armpits may have more power because she will be able to lure the opposite sex more than a woman with hairy legs and armpits, which society has learned to see as unattractive. A man also has the ability to create a certain image of himself that might not necessarily reflect his self-image. A man with a clean shaven face may be respected more than a man with unkempt, scraggly hair growing off of his face. Technically we are putting ourselves in danger when we shave for the possibility of a nick or a cut, but that is another thing that gives us power, when we shave and do not cut ourselves, it reinforces our agency over the body. Shaving is a medium used by humans to create an image that they feel may attract the opposite sex. The act of shaving is removing something that naturally grows out of the body and has no negative effect on a human's health. This also reinforces that we are docile bodies that are always trying to against our bodies' natural wills and focus constantly on self modification. There is a false idea that women are supposed to have smooth skin on their legs and that if they do not, then they are not as "woman" as a woman who does have shaved legs. A woman has an inner need to feel feminine and having hairy legs may make her feel more "manly" therefore making her image more of a "man".
