Quote - Manscaping should be illegal, IMO. I'm a walking carpet (thanks to my Italian herritage) and I like it that way.

I married a Saskwatch. Exactly what you want during those cold Canadian winters. However, just as beards can get out of control and need a trim, the occasional functional trim of certain parts of the human male pelt can be desirable. But keep those razors and waxes and creams away! If it can't be accomplished with a pair of scissors or a set of clippers, it doesn't need to be. :D

Quote -Apparently so, even when it's completely historically innacurate, such as Vilter's Roman Roxie. But that is the trend in today's society, insistent on putting women in impossible roles that they aren't physically capable of handling as a whole, and wussifying the men. 

Ah well.

It's true. Fantasy (and I don't just genre fantasy) women are portrayed as impossibly sexy or as impossibly tough. Just doing what women have been doing for centuries apparently isn't appealing enough. Well, that's fair, I think. Women who are rendering women as a way of recreating their fantasies-of-self probably aren't going to be too interested in portraying an ordinary person.

As for wussy men... I don't know what's going on. It's as though at some point we decided 16 year old girls with their -- Ew, he's got hair on his butt!! OMG! -- attitude should dominate. I even hear adult women saying things like that. It boggles the mind.
