how come feminist women like to not shave because it's unnatural but they still clean their teeth and cut their hair?
it's undeniable that a disporoportionate amount of particularly feminist women are the ones that don't shave.
disproportionate*
@regular: that's not the criterion they work with; they don't copy men (or so they claim) because that's patriarchy

Im not a feminist but i think shaving isnt manditory to them is because cleaning your teeth is a hygenic factor, your teeth and mouth remain clean and healthy when you do that and cutting your hair is not unnatural, and both have nothing to do with sexism, cutting ones hair is a personal choice and can be linked to many other reasons you are not considering, as for shaving the legs, heres the difference, it carries no health risk nor is it anybodys buisness and since men are not required to shave their legs why should womn go the extra mile to do so? Its seen as a social pressure obligated on women and some feminsits simply would like to break that social propaganda that women have to be hairless and smooth because it adds a lot of expectations and stress on women all around the world not to mention that it requires effort and in modern day life women dont always have time for that, yet they are still expected to do so which only pushes them farther down the trail

Erm I'm a feminist and I'm not averse to using a razor lol. I think you're confusing 'feminists' with 'mainland Europeans' :)))

You really cant speak for all feminists.
Since nobody even feminists do not know all feminists everywhere.
Some changes to female personal grooming and choices that is caused by feminism may come from the feminist view on the female gender role and their belief of the Patriarchy Doctrine.
But feminists and what they look like vary vastly from the 'butch lesbian' to the 'girly girl' even if some may fit that description.
Similar to some religious people it is a belief in a concept or ideal they share, belief and associate themselves with,
That may come to define them and not misinformation, rumors and hear say.

Some may not shave because they have fine blonde hairs that are virtually invisible. Some were bought up during a time when it was sexy to be hairy. Some women don't shave because they want to look like an adult woman and not a pre pubescent child.

men clean their teeth and brush their hair. men do not shave their legs, arms, full body, armpits like women are supposed to to be feminine.

Ive never heard feminists say anything like this at all. undeniable? You have no proof other than your bias opinon. Your about as creditable as lochness monster hunter.

You are making the assumption that they don't shave because they think it's unnatural. There may be totally other reasons that you are not considering. What people choose to do with their own bodies is really their own business, and need not be criticized by others. Who are you referring to when you say feminist? Is Hillary Clinton a feminist? Do you have an example in mind?
