[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Women who wear make up[/b].  It's perpetuating a view of women that I find demeaning.  After all the whole point of make up is to make a woman look like she is constantly sexually aroused.  Ugh.[/quote]

I saw a program, maybe from NatGeo, of a matriarchal society where the men use makeup hoping to attract women. And some of the ladies were chauvinistic, saying things like, why shouldn't the men try to please them. Very interesting.[/quote]

Wow. I just wear makeup to hide my horrible facial scarring, because it hurts when I overhear little kids asking their parents "what's wrong with that lady?" and "was that girl in a fire?" The worst is "What's wrong with her face?" Sorry, but I'll keep on with my makeup. [/quote]

I'm sorry for your pain.  But this is not what the pp is referring to, I'm sure.  I think she is referring to society's expectation that women must wear make up to be appropriately presentable.  Especially in young adult social gatherings and then later law and business/professional settings.  [/quote]

Get out of DC. I live in Berkeley and while I do shave and don't ever wear Birkenstocks, I also don't wear any makeup beyond sunscreen and lipgloss on a regular basis to work. And I look completely appropriate and presentable in business and professional settings, and I am a young adult. [/quote]

Wait until you're 45. You'll NEED makeup by then. Trust me.[/quote]

Well, I'm 48, now, so...[/quote]
