I don't shave my pits, and my sister tells me I'm disgusting for it. I asked her if she tells her boyfriend he's disgusting for having armpit hair, but she said "Men are SUPPOSED to be hairy!"
Its not just pubes, women are expected to be hairless and pubic hair is the new standard for that. And to reiterate what Solumina said earlier, some women go further and shave EVERYTHING, even light hair you can't see. Because women aren't supposed to have a single bit of body hair.
If you trim, it is no hindrance to oral sex. And what I find odd is that with women, there's no pressure to shave or adhere to beauty standards established by heterosexual porn. I know I run in feminist circles but particularly among queer women, body hair is an awesome way to say fuck you to impossible beauty standards. While I don't agree with lesbian separatism I kind of get it, its pretty liberating not being told you can't do something because if you do it, "no man will want you", if you're "unfuckable" in heterosexism's eyes, OH WELL, and I find more acceptance of different body types and gender expressions.
