I'm all for more positive descriptions of body hair. Ladies in ASOIAF aren't supposed to shave, for example, yet we never get any indication that any of the beautiful female characters (Sansa, Arianne, Catelyn, Daenerys, etc.) have leg/arm/armpit hair. Hair is only described to make fun of ~ridiculous homely women~, even though the women should all have some hair:

“Be careful you don't cut yourself. The edges are sharp enough to shave with.'
'Girls don't shave', Arya said.
'Maybe they should. Have you ever seen the septa's legs?”
She giggled at him.

Jon & Arya, Game of Thrones.

They made their way toward the King’s Tower, along fresh-shoveled pathways between mounds of dirty snow. “I have heard it said that your queen has a great dark beard.”
Jon knew he should not smile, but he did. “Only a mustache. Very wispy. You can count the hairs.”
“How disappointing.”
...
Once outside and well away from the queen’s men, Val gave vent to her wroth. “You lied about her beard. That one has more hair on her chin than I have between my legs"
^
Jon & Val, A Dance with Dragons

That last one is particularly ridiculous because Val lived in the North all her life and beyond the Wall for a couple of years and should naturally be less concerned about body hair and shaving than Selyse. The implication here is that the naturally gorgeous Val naturally has less pubic hair than that freak of nature Selyse does on her face. I get the sense that GRRM is picturing all of the hot women of ASOIAF as naturally hairless (except for between their legs because he takes care describing their ~mounds) and it really grosses me out.

Pretty sure Val wasn't actually being literal with that comment.

Pretty sure it's a gross comment either way because she judges and belittles a woman for having too much facial hair, even if it's framed as funny.
