That's because that's what our culture tells everyone, of course. Men
wear tank tops all the time and don't worry about their body hair
sticking out (plus clumps of deoderant! ewwww!).

What kills me is when people talk about shaving legs, etc, as an
important part of a woman's hygiene. If that's true, then men must not
be very hygienic! (Which may be true of some guys, but isn't true of
men as a group.)

My mom tried to shame me into shaving, and even told me, "If you weren't
dating [ex-bf], you would have to shave to get a boyfriend." Hrmph!

Ha - lots of guys like women with leg and armpit hair. In many parts
of the world, that is the norm, and I don't just mean in countries where
most people are too poor to worry about such things.
