Lol. I am all for supporting my gender …if that’s what feminism is…but I feel that it needs to be done intelligently. If our arguments don’t take into account basic human psychology and the evidences that are surrounding us, then they will sound like defensive rants; a disservice to feminism. Not everything needs to be actively encouraged under the “it’s my right” argument/rant. There are some behaviors/trends that, over time, can have detrimental effects..on a physical/psychological level and on an individual/societal one. But, oh well. You sure have a knack for opening up entertaining/thought-provoking threads, TS. I’m glad you’re on here; makes things interesting!
It is a pretty complex topic and as a former MUA, I feel a bit differently about makeup. I don’t consider it to be a tool to attract men. In my eyes, its an art, a form of self-expression and creative outlet.
So it seems, a woman’s life revolves around men. If you wear makeup, must be trying to attract men. If you dress nice, must be trying to attract men. If you do your hair, must be trying to attract men. If you wear high heels, must be trying to attract men. Rotfl at this soch.
If you consider it deception then seek girls who don’t wear any. But noooooo, gotta generalize, find faults, and accuse women of something.
its not as black and white as people seem to say… there are intentions and deliberate actions…and then there are subconcious and built in traits and behaviours…
here is what a qualified clinical psychologist has to say about it
a day has finally come where i agree with nomica!?! aap toh bohat sudhar gaye hain bhai saab
okay but for real, nomica’s right.. it’s not as simple as saying “women don’t do makeup for men” or anyone but themselves. we do it to play around, or to create art. but we also do it to look appealing.. for men, or even for other women. it’s a grey area.
So men feel cheated when a woman wears an extra padded bra? they should confirm it if they have fallen for her figure , else it’s a sign of deception. Similarly girls should ask men to prove his size so she doesn’t feel cheated later. Isn’t marriage primarily about making out? In pakistan many marriages end up because girls find out later that their men have buried tools. That’s deception. Not knowing that your husband and his family will act mentally challenged right after the marriage, thats deception.
About make up, subtle enhancements are one thing, but changing yourself drastically to look the way your fav celebrity looks reveals ones needless insecurity that should be worked on.
That literally makes zero sense. How is makeup equivalent to job and pay? Get back at these womaanzzz, put on makeup to enhance your features too, win/win.
