every single post that says its ok to not wear makeup has like nine hundred replies saying “actually some girls LIKE the inescapable, crushing demand that they expend their money, time, and energy concealing and altering their natural features to better mimic an artificial and unattainable standard!!! leg contouring is girl power”
Holy shit. It’s not that deep. Some girls well and truly like makeup, and it’s not because of some sort of societal brainwash. You guys flip between extreme sentiments from one day to another.
EXACTLY. Makeup is an art form for many people. Changing/enhancing your features can take skill as well. Besides, even if someone only does it because they don’t feel attractive without it, isn’t this considered makeup shaming?
Pointing out that women are socially pressured into wearing makeup isn’t fucking *~makeup shaming~*. (And makeup shaming isn’t a fucking thing.)
This is you two:
“Toxic femininity” isn’t a thing. Have you ever stopped to think that femininity and masculinity ARE influenced by biology, so while not every male likes being masculine and not every female likes being feminine, there are many women who, neurologically, to their core, are feminine. The idea that something natural is toxic is inherently toxic. And you obviously are shaming by the passive aggressive tone of your post towards people that like wearing makeup.
If you’re trying to catch a housecat that’s gotten outside, don’t forget: they’re an ambush predator and you’re a persistence predator.
You have several times more endurance than they do – use that to your advantage!
Don’t run after them; that’s playing to the cat’s strengths, and vigorous pursuit may cause them to hide. Instead, follow them at a brisk walking pace until they get tired and need to have a lie-down, at which point you can simply pick them up and take them home.
Ok but no shit this tactic is what allowed humans to survive pre-civilisation
