My grandfather thought that bathing was effeminate and made men weak.
My grandmother finally said to him, “Roy, yeah—you’re real strong ... “.

Yes, my skin gets dry and itchy during the winter---it's very common for women. But there are plenty of ways to moisturize just out of the shower and prevent that. Aveeno lotion is excellent.

I can't imagine not washing. Say you take a shower every morning---if you have to postpone it till afternoon, you start to feel sticky and gross. Going without---it's just nasty.
