Seriously. I’m sure some people will hyperfixate on the lipstick/rouge example you gave, but generally many guys don’t understand or think about makeup and thus have no awareness of how it impacts how they’re attracted to people. And then they have the gall to lecture others about what works and what doesn’t.

Also shoutout to some of the straight up sexist replies in this thread. Nice to see a sizable chunk of reddit neckbeards made their way over here.

I would say it is kind of sexist to state that all men would cry if women stopped wearing blush and lipstick. We aren’t a hivemind either. I personally prefer natural over makeup.

  You might be a rare exception that actually means what they say, but the vast majority of men who say “I personally prefer natural over makeup” don’t realize that our “natural” that they love is quite often still a light touch of makeup here and there. Not to mention the sexist implication that we’re necessarily doing it for you.

    There are most definitely a ton of men out there who think like that, so I completely understand. I think woman can be beautiful with makeup, too, I just feel there is too much pressure for women to wear it, when it should be an entirely personal choice.
    
    I would like to at least make it known that there are men who think women and feminine souls of all types can be attractive without makeup, as well.

  But the post is already sexist. Why wouldn’t women want to push back?
