Amongst people I know keeping one's pubes trim is considered polite to your partner and hygienic. Both men and women practice it and seem to have little tolerance for someone who doesn't return the favor. As in "this dude expected me to go down on him and he was like a mountain man, stinking of ball sweat...". And a similar reaction by men if a lady expects oral sex but practices no grooming.
I always thought it was a quite liberating attitude for both men and women to have, indicating a higher comfort level with their own sexuality and also courtesy to their partners.
Sorry, but the notion it is in some way oppressive or sexist seems silly to me. Baby rape fantasies? That is just twisted.
YMMV.
