And finally someone said it

#okay but thats like… mens own doing though..#men put themselves in a box to be *masculine* and deemed makeup as a feminine product#so its literally all men’s fault for this…

lol misogyny backfiring on men is literally no one else’s problem but their own. also, “guyfitblr”

nobody’s fucking stopping you from putting on some foundation dude you can put it on and it’s discrete and other straight guys won’t be able to tell and it does wonders. nobody’s stopping you from moisturizing or even putting on the lightest bits of concealer. don’t worry, other straight men can’t tell

Also there’s less pressure for men to be attractive and more pressure on women to see past men’s looks for their personalities, like look how many movies star average/ugly dudes who still score modelesque girls.

step 1: create unrealistic, unattainable standards of beauty for women

step 2: build a multi-billion dollar beauty industry to sell women makeup, tell them they are worthless without it

step 3: mock and vilify women who wear makeup as vain and fake, mock and vilify women who don’t wear makeup as ugly

step 4: code makeup as exclusively feminine, make the feminine shameful, shame any and all men perceived as feminine

step 5: complain that you can’t wear makeup

all that commentary

A better argument would be that we are expected to be emotionless and strong, have a good job, have lots of sex and get a lot of money.
we are mocked when we care and when we show signs of humanity and we are mocked if we are still virgins after 14 and we are mocked for being weak.
That is the real hardships of men. It’s not as bad as the problems women have but it’s still present.
