    It’s bad enough that you are propagating such ideas, instead of normalizing and making it acceptable for women to live without makeup.

      Propagating which ideas? That clear skin is an almost universal attractiveness symbol? I don’t need to propagate that, it has been proven by countless studies. And didn’t I just say that I wouldn’t shame anyone for not wearing makeup? Wtf.

      It’s already broadly acceptable for women to live without makeup.

      The issue I see is men who judge women for their choice to use makeup. They are entitled to wear it or not, whichever makes them feel good about themselves.

        The women who choose to wear makeup are the victims here, not of men who judge them but of the companies and society which impose those beauty standards upon them. That’s why I’m saying that we should eliminate such thoughts and make all women feel comfortable even without makeup. I don’t have to tell you the benefits of that.

          Or, ya know, you can stop judging women for doing something they enjoy and mind your own business.

          Just because someone wears makeup doesn’t mean they do it because they feel obligated to do so. Often they just enjoy it. Who are you to tell them what they should and shouldn’t enjoy in life?
