As one of those "American men" (and one raised by a Southern
family in the heart of the Old South), I don't give a damn whether
or not a woman shaves her underarms -- in fact, the nubs can be
quite painful.  As for legs, I prefer shaved legs because they
feel better -- smooth, supple, mmmmm!!  BUT, I have a beard (neatly
trimmed) because I am too lazy to shave my entire face every day;
why should I expect a woman to do the same?  BUT (again) just as
my girlfriend all through college always told me -- "I love you with
or without a beard [even though she preferred the beard], but you
WILL stop this 'grow the beard for two weeks and then shave it off'
routine.  Either grow it and keep it trimmed or don't grow ANY at
all."  I feel that asking a woman to make the same decision is
only fair.
