The nude female body has been depicted in art countless times. But where is all the pubic hair? (www.abc.net.au)

~~They talk about male statues as well in the article, I don't know why the title fixated on women.~~

Because, according to the article, only the women had their hair removed. The men did have pubes.

In ancient Greece, whether you were a hairy alpha male or a gorgeous and effeminate power bottom, the gents were generally allowed to let it all hang out. But when it came to depicting the female body, she was always entirely pubeless.
