My husband does have a few sparse chin hairs, but that’s it for facial hair. When my great-grandma started to become infirm at around age 88 I moved in to help her take care of herself and her condo. I remember commenting to my mother (I was a teenager at the time) that at least I wouldn’t have to shave anymore when I got old. I was under the impression that her armpit and leg hair had just fallen out, like on a bald guy’s head, but she told me she’d just never had any.
Asking why women have leg hair is like asking why men have nipples - it’s because having it isn’t such a great liability that it prevents people from leaving descendants.
And, as already pointed out, not all adult women have leg hair.
Women’s legs are godly, and it would be immodest for god to walk about naked, ergo hair.
My 3yo niece has more back hair than many men I’ve seen. I’ve never studied her legs.
I cite the lower back and the knee as proof of design flaws in humans, and proof that “intelligent design” must be utter bullshit.
BTW about a hairy baby:
“…The first one was very red at birth and covered with thick hair like a fur coat. So they named him Esau…”
In this memo from God to the Kansas Board of Education God admits He isn’t perfect when he wonders why he included armpit hair.

I don’t know about you JohnClay, but I think Harnaam Kaur is strikingly beautiful.
What was he thinking? He was thinking maybe you would like women they way they are. It’s hardly God’s fault that we think women have to diet, sculpt, shave, pluck, wax, paint, lift, separate, decorate, etc., etc., etc. to be acceptable.
I’ll raise you the inability to synthesize Vitamin C, so sailors get scurvy, and the rats on the ship don’t.
Women get rid of the hair because they resent being grown-ups and wish to be child-like forever. Like women Peter Pans.
Yes it is. God should not have made such an inferior product, including men, that needed to diet, sculpt, shave, wax, paint, rotate tires, change oil etc. etc. etc in the first place.
njtt:
While not universal, the shaving of women’s legs (and/or private parts) is neither exclusively American nor exclusively modern. I recently found mention of this practice in the Talmud, which is of Middle-Eastern origin 2000 years ago.
