Our hands are rough and clumsy. We have hair where nobody wants it; shoulders, ears, etc. Our skin gets dry and we often have cuts and bruises. And don't even get started about the whole penis thing. Everyone likes to stop short of what happens during sex. That whole ejaculation thingy? Yeah, seems like that must be the most disgusting thing on the planet next to sea cucumbers and Rush Limbaugh.
Then there's the idea that men are idiots and imbeciles. The media portrays us as clueless parents, bumbling dolts and heck, we make up 80% of the Darwin Awards.
So yeah, there's a definite "Ideal" and every male that doesn't meet those physical requirements is gross, inferior and even a little dumb.

I love male hands. They are so big and warm. Everyone gets dry skin in some places.
Women get hair where no one wants either. Armpits, legs, some faint mustache. We just shave it off. Men who have hair in their ears and nose typically trim it.
Penises can absolutely be beautiful. They can also be ugly. Ejaculation can be kinda hot. Yeah it's still gross but female bodies do gross stuff too (periods).
Men as a group can be pretty dumb. But many men are individually quite intelligent. Not Rush Limbaugh though. Bad example.
But yeah. I think the media needs to embrace male body positive as well.
