Ever since about 1990's this has been a growing trend among men starting with gay men and moving towards straight men in growing numbers in the last few years. If you ask me this behavior is extremely girly and is the man emulating himself by removing certain signs of coming to age. Real men in my opinion simply don't shave their body hair and they don't make up terms like "manscaping" when caught doing it like somehow that makes the girly activity manly again.
First there was the whole chest hair nonsense from the 1990's which was promoted by male models and picked up first by gay men and then later by straight men. You got these lame as muscle building dudes that think building all that muscle is somehow made even more manly by shaving their chest. So first you do something actually manly, which is build muscle, and then you basically do the most feminine thing possible and remove all signs that you ever grew chest hair? You know, body hair is caused by a certain hormone that increases during puberty, so shaving it off makes you look like one of those dudes that never got enough hormones to grow chest hair. Guess what that means? It means you're making yourself look an inferior man. You're basically going forward with the muscle building and then going back again with shaving off your chest hair. Learning some basic biology might help you realize how you're emasculating yourself, not making yourself somehow more masculine.
Then there is the ball shaving/ball trimming nonsense that men are doing in greater numbers because of porn and women demands. Of course, men rationalize it with all sorts of nonsense excuse like it makes it look bigger like somehow being insecure of your penis size is a good thing and something to declare to the whole world. The worst however is the men that just do it because they want sex or because women want it. Look, a man that changes his body because a woman demands it is no sort of man, but a slave of a woman's demands. Men are frankly giving in to woman's demands too much and need to learn again to stand up for themselves in the house, in politics, in culture, and apparently in the bed. Since when was it seen as ok for men to just be the slave of their wife/girlfriend and change their body for them? You know, feminists were opposed to men telling women what do with their bodies and told women to stand up for themselves and I see no reason such reasoning shouldn't be expanded to men here. Oh and guys, stop doing what men in porn are doing. It's really really lame and disturbing.
Lastly, there is the men that shave their arms and legs. Like really, is there anything more girly then that? The men are shaving their legs all smooth and they call themselves men. Amazing. I really have no words to describe what I think of that, but needless to say it's not good.
So what do you think about it? Oh and guys, I don't want to know if you do it. TMI exists for a reason and this is one of those times.
