I will never shave my legs again & 6 other unnatural things

"I will never shave my legs again," says Suzannah Weiss in her article on Yahoo.

Her reason: It's not natural and it's only purpose is to please men.

Has she ever considered what else is not natural?
It's not natural to:
be monogamous
smell nice
be tender while making love
take care of your spouse when he/she is sick
take regular showers
dress up

None of these things happen in nature, but thank God that many humans rise above nature and choose to love and be considerate by...doing unnatural things for the sake of pleasing others.

What about the charge that shaving legs is a waste of time because its purpose is just to please men?  The implication is that: men don't shave their legs!  Why should I?  In other words, men don't make uncomfortable sacrifices-so this is unfair.

Men and women are attracted to different things.  Men are very visual in their attractions.  Women are not AS visually driven.  A common attraction for women, though, is a man who is strong (whether physical, mental, or emotional) and who wants to provide and care for a woman.

I'm sure a lot of men would rather sit around with a beer and a football or video game for the majority of their time (and some men do!), but mature men choose to do something that will make them more attractive: grow up, get a job, and be responsible.

Suzannah Weiss is not my target here.  It's an attitude that we are fighting each other as sexes and as spouses.  Instead of resenting our sacrifices for each other, it's good to take a few moments and realize what sacrifices our spouses make for us day in and day out.  Let's not take them for granted.  Take the opportunity to say thank you today to your spouse for all those unnatural sacrifices they make each day, even down to the 'little things' of leg shaving.
