[10:59:09] tons of makeup is a good thing [10:59:14] means low self esteem [10:59:47] or [10:59:50] they like makeup [11:00:10] no one likes makeup [11:00:18] it's expensive and feels horrible [11:02:00] ohh the things women do to perpetuate patriarchical stereotypes [11:02:20] and then complain about it being perpetuated [11:03:05] irc wisdom coming up ahead [11:03:26] how is that perpetuating anythign [11:04:40] if it's truly for yourself then whatevs, i take that back, but artificially enhancing your appearance for the sake of male attention is silly [11:04:47] didn't mean to step on toes [11:05:06] maybe think about the reason why that male attention exists in the first place [11:06:07] because we live in a patriarchical society? [11:06:42] what's your take? i'm qrious [11:07:55] you can say it's silly because you don't face the same sort of standards caving in on you every day [11:08:39] good point. having never felt that pressure i was unaware of its existence [11:09:54] http://i.imgur.com/GTuVK7d.png oh [11:09:58] it's this theory again [11:10:36] men can be mocked for their appearance but its pretty situational reactionary and immediately obvious just look at any women in power and t here will be 999 dudes chiming in with the Number Rating of How She Is and if they would have sex with her [11:11:16] i just think it's all really big generalizations [11:11:20] and if you feel you face the same type of shit it's like why wouldn't you feel some solidarity to begin with [11:11:34] instead of trying to affirm your own experiences as superior [11:12:23] i'm not trying to say anything or anyone is superior. in fact quite the opposite. [11:13:23] either men should start wearing makeup or women should stop, or how about everyone gets to decide for themselves
