I don't fully understand patriarcy arguments if I am honest

But I do think a lot of things women do its because they are kind of pressured to do so by society. Stuff like shaving legs for example, of course some women may want to do it, some may do it to look more attractive, but some feel pressure to do it, because of the reaction they would get if they did not. If that makes sense.

Look at the reaction in the Lourdes pit hair thread tbh, for examples of this
