Why are shaved armpits and legs considered feminine?

Until couple of weeks ago I had been shaving my armpit hair since it started growing. Then I stopped for a while and now I have trouble understanding why it is consider so feminine, so 'normal' to shave legs, armpits and even pubic hair. Shaving is a lot of work. The stubble causes itching. Razors cost money. And the result is not perfecly smooth anyway, except maybe on the legs.
