As should we all.
The human body looks pretty much the same now as it's done for thousands and thousands of years. All else is fashion, which comes and goes.
In spite of the apparent enthusiasm for judging women in this way I still think it is thoroughly impertinent for men to express any opinion.
It also strikes me as being the thin end of the wedge towards objectifying women which ultimately leads to the sort of climate which condones indecent assault and justifies rape and worse to some men.

Well, I think it's okay for men to express their opinions, as long as they make it clear that it's simply their opinion, in the same sense that people might say "I don't like modern art" or "I don't like car-chase movies" or "I generally don't care for rose wines."
Similarly, I think it's okay for women to say that they prefer men without beards, or with beards, or with moustaches but not beards.
You're simply expressing what your tastes are. But we cross the line when we say "all men should shave their beard hair" or "all men should have beards" or "all women should shave their pubes (or armpits, or whatever)" or "all women should leave their body hair unshaved."
So, ladies, do what you want. You'll never be able to please everybody, but you can always please yourself.
