I can honestly say that I have never had any problem with a little bit of armpit muff.

>>2269602
Don't really know
I know that nude paintings from as far as the 1500s depict hairless women
Now I also know that big bushes were the norm 100 years ago
>>
Pits about 100 years ago in the US. Sleeveless dresses came in fashion, and razor companies used it as an opportunity to create a new trend and make massive cash.

For legs, when women stopped wearing stockings.

They also depict vagina-less women. That's not how women looked in real life.

Women only started wearing stockings in the 40s, yet Romans already shaved their legs.

>When did shaved legs/pits become a standard of beauty?

When TV commercials started showing shaved women, so women decided thats how they should look.
It is very recent.
>>
>>2269883
sure regular every day women almost certainly didn't shave just like they don't usually shave even today, but the prostitutes used as models probably shaved.

pussy viewed from the front is pretty innocuous and can be easily drawn as a simple line or omitted entirely without there being much visible discrepancy, especially when the model has her legs crossed or held close together as they usually are depicted.

painters/sculptors didn't seem to have a problem including bush on men, so it's reasonable to assume they omitted bush on women because the majority of the women they painted didn't have one.

And other cultures didn't, including post -Roman Europe. OP is asking about when the current standard started.

Women have more body hair these days than historically due to growth hormones found in a lot of meat products, which mess with puberty a bit (same reason many kids experience puberty earlier). Leg and arm hair used to be very rare safe for almost invisible blonde "peach fuzz".

As for armpit and pubic hair, yeah almost everyone had them since forever and noone really minded it up until the 1980's. Although shaving pubic hair, even for men used to be a trend in the middle east (requesting that account from the crusade when a French knight sees his Arab friends cock and demands his to be shaved as well).

This is the truth. Everyone will ignore it though.
>>
>>2269908
Oh for fuck's sake.

No, they didn't paint bushes because female body hair was considered too sexual and thus obscene for representation. It was part of the vagina and thus not painted just like vaginas weren't. They had no issues painting male pubic hair for the same reason they had no issues painting penises.
>>
>>2270716
And body hair was sexual too?
>>
>>2270719
Female pubic hair in any case. Other than that, the Western nude painting/sculpting only really started in the Renaissance and they just imitated the ideals of ancient Greek statues, which already never showed female genitals, but also absolutely minimal bodyhair otherwise, including for men.

Shaving is an american pop culture meme.

Removing body hair is a Middle Eastern thing, which was imported into the West by Americans around the same time as circumcision.

Are you trying to exclude Ancient Greece from the western world?

Oklahoma wasn't a state until 1907, so that's why the first column is blank. Don't know.what's up with 1920 though.

Lack of body hair was associated with feminity as women naturally have less. Now, women saw other women who had less hair than them, and as a means of increasing their own feminity decided to shave parts off that they felt were too hairy in comparison. Eventually it became a societal pressure to be as hairless as possible as a woman.
