I think the "smoothy" movement has a lot to do with this. It just "took off" sometime in the early 90's; as the thong became popular and women had to shave more and more in order to not have hair sticking out from under their tiny thong. Brazilian waxing just grew from there as younger women decided to go completely smooth.
Some of the "older" nudist women I knew and spoke with were totally against shaving completely. They felt it was "immodest", "pre-pubescent" or even "pornographic." I understood the resistance: they had grown up in an era where a full bush was the norm and provided a natural "coverage" to their most intimate part. I think it was definitely a lingering sense of modesty.
My fiancée doesn't go completely smooth because she doesn't like the way her labia looks shaved bald. But my ex decided to try it one day. She had spoken with some of these "older" women who were "pro-bush"; so for a while she kept hers. But then she saw some smooth women at the resort and liked the way it looked. So one day after the resort she decided to shave completely when we got home, and shave bald again before we headed back out to the resort.
And it completely changed her attitude about being naked. She told me one day that the feeling of the pool water hitting her bald pussy, or applying lotion and feeling the sun tanning her naked labia, made her feel even more naked, even more "free." So she threw out the notion of "ladylike" posture these "older" nudist women had shared with her; which she came to consider as antiquated; even anti-feminist. Her viewpoint was that if men could lay with their legs open, there was no reason why she couldn't lay or sit the same way. Her attitude reflected her viewpoint: she didn't "spread-eagle" for anyone's benefit (unless she was joking around), but she didn't make any effort to hide her bald pussy from anyone either.
I think a lot of women have experienced that same sense of "liberation" when shaving completely. And so legs started opening up more. But I also think variety is great: "modestly" hairy pubes or totally bald; it's all good as long as everyone is comfortable. Both should be accepting of each other.
