@KinaMagica Did some more research and I do want to point out that women shaving has been something found across multiple cultures, dating all the way back to 3000 BC with the Egyptians, and popping up again with both the greeks and Romans. It was for status, hygiene, and religious reasons.

@KinaMagica In Egypt, men and women were both expected to have as little body hair as possible as a sign of purity in respect to the gods, to help stymie the brutal heat, as well as to fend off the myriad of mites and fleas present in the dessert.

@KinaMagica The Greeks basically worshipped the human form, both male and female, and saw lack of body hair for adults as a symbol of social status and intellect.

@KinaMagica The Romans did it for social status as well as to further differentiate themselves from the "barbarians" across their borders. They saw body hair as animal-like, a symbol of uncleanness, and a symbol of the lower-class.
