Growing up I had a lot of people ask me if I was gay or not, because I guess I'm considered "feminine". Then again I live in the backwoods, so it doesn't take much. I suppose it's because I don't cross my legs in the conventional "manly" way, or maybe that I actually care about how I look. Oh, and I don't like sports! But I digress. I'm going way off topic here.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt if it was all personal preference, or it just comes from societal brainwashing. I wasn't trying to posit that my viewpoint is based out of evolution, but I think there must be some element in there somewhere. Maybe not, but this line in your article makes me wonder:

Another proposes that males have evolved a preference for females with more juvenile features.
I would have no problem in saying that I simply don't like it. I mean, I'd be okay with some body hair, but beard/mustache and leg hair is just... not good.
