"And isn't it odd that it has taken umpteen thousand years for women to come to the conclusion, just 10 years ago, that having a full bush was unhygienic?"
Well its not odd because its not true.
Plenty of cultures have gone for complete body shaving for reasons, at least partly, of hygiene - from the old kingdom Egyptians and Babylonians onwards.
"I can't understand chaps who say otherwise"
Is understanding a different opinion that difficult without coming up with the following garbage
"are the simply being pretentious?"
What is this supposed to mean? - people are saying that they don't like pubic hair because they think it makes them appear important or meritorious? Given your attempted use of half-witted history and sociology to justify your preference it appears that you are the one attempting to claim merit for his opinion.
"Are they simply saying they like the current status quo just so they can conform and feel part of the gang?"
No, they are expressing an opinion that is in no way just a modern fad. Look at some renaissance or pre-raphaelite nudes to see that the image of a completely shaven woman as the epitome of beauty is hardly a modern idea.
"Is it because maybe they are too timid to say otherwise?"
What - and you think that you expressing your opinion signifies bravery and fortitude? Well done - you've scored 11/10 for misplaced self-important bluster.
"Or are there darker reasons why they prefer the pre-pubescent look?"
Only if you can accept similar dark reasons as the explanation for why so many men prefer women to have shaved legs and armpits.
You have your opinion - well done and good for you. But in seeking to claim that your opinion is right and that an opposing opinion is deviant you simply show yourself to be foolish and bigoted.
