In China, one of the beauty standards for women was to bind their feet, turning the things into hideous stumps. The process of doing so was painful and left them unable to run. And in Europe, they practically caked their entire faces with makeup, put elaborate wigs on their heads because they couldn't stand the sight of their greasy hair. So don't go crying about the awful beauty standards you have to meet today just spending a few minutes hacking some hair off your legs.
If you don't want to shave your legs, by all means, knock yourself out. But don't cry if the only men you attract are creeps with weird fetishes, and/or who look just as unshaven and slovenly as you want to be since they clearly don't want to appeal to your beauty standards.
On the subjecting of footbinding, it's pretty awful how so many people were forced by adults at a young age to deform themselves permanently for the sake of increasing their status. Kind of reminds me of something...

And the way they stopped it is now used against anything the Chinese government hates.
