The pressure for women to remove their body hair is nothing new. A 2005 study showed that 99% of women reported removing their body hair; most commonly from the underarms, legs, pubic area, and eyebrows.
And, a recent survey of 3,316 women found that 84% of respondents groom their pubic hair; something they believe makes their genitals look more attractive or because their partner prefers it.
With over 25,000 mentions, the hashtag has provoked a great deal of conversation, suggesting that there's still a lot of work to be done to convince some people that female body hair is beautiful.
But, that didn't stop women from defiantly sharing photos of their hairy legs.
