Well, there are some churches that don't allow it. Or shaved legs.
My official position is that it's mandatory. For women. 
(oh, wait, not shaved arms.... unless you have really hairy, man-looking arms  )

Perhaps you are Islamic.

"Trimming or completely removing pubic hair has become a custom in many cultures. In Islamic societies, for example, removing the pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice."

Steve, don't ask and don't tell.
Don't tell me whether you shave arms and armpits and I won't ask.

I didn't know that removing public hair is a custom in many countries.
Learn something new everyday.
