Pelicanen,

I agree with a lot of this but I’m a bit iffy when it comes to makeup. I think that the normalized use of makeup for women has put unhealthy expectations and pressures on women to look different rather than accepting someone’s actual appearance. I don’t think extending that to men would be a good idea and in my mind it would likely only increase these pressures.

Of course people are allowed to like makeup and use it for different reasons, including covering up blemishes, but a lot of people feel the need to spend an hour putting on makeup every morning just to be accepted and I think that’s really bad.
