First of all, I think the norm of making yourself attractive to your literal predators is ludicrous. 94% of women murdered are murdered by men. Secondly, gender norms in general are bogus, a creation of society.
We are the way we are for a reason; we evolved that way. And altering ourselves as often as we do can be problematic, especially for our mental health. By not loving ourselves for exactly who we are, we are doing our mental health a disservice.
So, I ask, why do you shave your legs? Not that wanting any body alterations is invalid – but have you ever stopped to ask yourself why?
