Some Mild Rants:

Why are balls considered the essence of manhood? We use them in so many expressions - grow a pair, that guy sure has some balls, that took balls, what balls, etc. - to represent toughness and boldness. But actual balls are the antithesis of toughness and boldness. If anything, they should represent fragility and shyness. What's avoids all encounters? Balls. What can't be touched without causing screams of pain? Balls.

Maybe it's the idea is that after gently guarding two delicate balls between your legs all your life, nothing seems that demanding or difficult. "Protect the princess from a dragon? Sure, whatever. That's nothing, I've been protecting my cojones from literally everything for thirtysome years. And they don't have the dexterity of even the most clumsy princess."

(However, I really like the saying, "What a dick," since it seems to say, "What an overly praised yet actually ridiculously sensitive person who draws his/her entire esteem from his/her theoretical power.")

Also, why don't ladies in period pieces have underarm and leg hair? Unless your setting your epic in ancient Greece or Rome, you're missing out on a pretty easily added piece of historical accuracy.

You say it's gross? It's not gross, it's natural. How did we come to consider something disgusting that literally everyone above age 14 has? How did we come to just pretend ladyhair away? And even many male stars now sport waxed chests and sometimes even shaved underarms. Why?! Put it back. On everybody. (If the time period calls for it.)

That aside, violent bloody battle scenes are pretty gross. But we normalized them through TV, movies, and video games. And now, to some interest groups' dismay, we can all enjoy a fountain of blood from a sliced enemy soldier with no distaste whatsoever. Why not do the same for pit hair? And lady leg carpets? And hairy manbacks?
