starting a girl gang of girls aggressively supporting other girls so reblog if you want in because if we get enough people we’re getting jackets

how insidious to make young girls buy hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, to force them to read up on its theory, to make them practice it for hours in order to escape mockery, to make them feel safe only when performing this hyper femininity, and then to even have the audacity to package it in feminist language so that they firmly believe it sets them free.

I know you probably think you’re really witty, but I just want you to know that you, and all the other people who made that joke, prove my point exactly.

This is why I have an issue with feminists shouting “let women wear make-up”. Like, not only is it expected to wear make-up, but it’s encouraged and the younger the better (cute pinkish lipstick for pre-teen girls, cute and sparkly eyeshadow for pre-teens again)

Whenever I see a post about girls to “LET THEM WEAR MAKE-UP”, well… there’s nothing stopping them or you, really. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Society pushes you to wear make up and have the most perfect make-up skills ever. And if it takes you 15 minutes for a full contour, shade, highlight, you’re praised.

Seriously, girls get more shit for not wearing make-up.

If you want to fight for the right to wear make-up, please shift to “MEN ARE ALLOWED TO WEAR MAKE-UP”. Also, please fight for the right for girls and women to not wear make-up.

Because for each post of you fighting for girls to have the right to wear make-up because it’s feminist and it will free them, there are ten companies behind your back who wrinkle their hand cause you’re doing the job for them.

I get asked at least once a week why I don’t “just try wearing makeup. It’s super simple you can even learn how on youtube!” I don’t want to.

I don’t like makeup.

I don’t want to wear it.

Or buy it.

Or have anything to do with it.

If you tell me I could use it to cover up my acne, or my red face, and it will feel empowering™ to be able to ‘choose how i look’ you’re a fucking douche and not a feminist at all.

women who wear makeup statistically make more money at the same jobs and skill level as women who don’t. women who wear makeup to interviews are more likely to be hired than women who don’t. women who perform adequate femininity in court are more likely to be acquitted or given the minimum sentence. one of the things taken into consideration by psychiatry and psychology about women seeking treatment is whether they’re wearing makeup – because women who wear makeup are seen as more likely to be sane and/or “responding appropriately.” not even getting into how much so-called “feminist” language on social media is couched in otherizing women who don’t want to, or can’t, put time and money into performing hyperfemininity “for themselves! to feel brave! to show you’re tough! :))))) be beautiful because you’re worth being objectified, girl!”

when women are literally systematically and personally punished for NOT spending time and money on makeup, you absolutely cannot pretend that makeup, as an industry and element of culture, is feminist. no one’s eyeliner is ever going to be sharp enough to slay the patriarchy. seriously.

I’m conventionally attractive and don’t wear makeup regularly when at home or school, nobody ever makes me feel less attractive for not wearing makeup. However, I’m in a very presentation-oriented field, and I damn sure feel less professional if I’m not wearing at least a bit of eyeliner when at work. Do I like getting dressed up and experimenting and wearing cool make-up on occasion? 100%. But we cannot pretend that day-to-day makeup isn’t performative, and necessary in order to be viewed as professional or put-together. Not wearing makeup is like the equivalent of wearing sweatpants.

Do I feel better wearing some makeup? Yeah, for sure, but that’s been conditioned. For me, it’s like the feeling of having just taken a nice shower, I feel more put-together. Except taking a shower is actually necessary for proper hygiene, and make-up is gender performative nonsense being arbitrarily pushed on me.
