If society is seeing it as something valuable then you are practically forced. If you don't compete, you're at disadvantage.
Society is fractured enough these days that you can leave the race in which you feel disadvantaged and enter the race in which you feel advantaged. There are plenty of social and business circles these days that don’t require hours of makeup and high heels.

Men have little say in all this.

Exactly. There are societally imposed gender standards for appearance. Sure if you're a female wedding guest, you can show up in pants and a button up shirt, but people will judge you negatively for that. Or you have to become "nonbinary" in order to do it.
