Some people like grooming their pubes, some people don't. Some people think it would be neat to have heart-shaped pubes, some people think that's stupid. It's not a porn-fueled conspiracy, it's just additional choices for your grooming leisure. Maybe porn started it, to get a better view of the action, just as porn has fueled many innovations in cinematography and technology. But the thing is, we don't even need pubes anymore - we wear underwear. I don't hear anyone lamenting that men who shave their faces look just like little boys. Was face-shaving some pedophilic Roman conspiracy? Or did it have something with, oh, maybe cleanliness around the mouth? Every now and then I please my man by growing out my thatch; he loves hair, even though he watches a ton o'porn. I shave for hygenic reasons, and because without a thick layer of hair between my labia and the "action," ... *hey I can feel more down there!* :-o I keep mine in basically a 5-o'clock shadow, because shaving to the skin gives me razor burn. Even if I did shave to the skin, my vagina looks nothing like a little girl's. A man can wear his beard any damn way he likes, and nobody says he's a victim of the patriarchy. It's all a matter of personal preference, there are a variety of reasons to shave or not to shave, and it is nobody else's business or place to judge anyone for shaving or not shaving. You know what I think is ridiculous? Women shaving their entire god damn legs. That's half your body, ladies. That's ridiculous. Your legs don't even sweat or emit bacteria like your underarms or vaginal area, so what is the point? So you'll look like a little girl? lol
Of course, if men started shaving hearts and lightning bolts into their beards, I would expect to see an article or two making fun of them. Personally, I'm going to have to hold out for the dollar-sign pattern, Nads! Or maybe a skull..
