context is that this is a shirt about swimming. Cap, goggles and suit are all swimming equipment.
The son shaves his legs for less drag in the water, and I guess the daughter isn't into swimming and just doesn't shave her legs.

She's so real for that, shaving is a total pain for like no reason.

edit: the quality is bad so I'ma edit in a transcript

Cap..... $8
Goggles.... $12 Suit..... $60
explaining to parents why their sons shave their legs while their daughters haven't for months.... priceless.

The shaving thing is partly about drag and partly about how the body reacts to increased stimuli. The process is to not shave until just before a swim meet. then you shave and the newly sensitive skin on your legs helps your adrenaline response
