I prefer it the way it is now. I really wouldn’t be happy with an automatic cross-post feature. Even if the WomensStuffSupporters community started off with good intentions, I could easily see it getting brigaded by sour men who are looking for targets for their misogyny. Just my two cents.

I had to do this two truths and a lie thing once, only I was pretty nervous and accidentally told 3 truths, then had to lie about which one was a lie.

What’s your favorite flower?

What’s your favorite guilty pleasure?

I never saw Harry Potter but I know that’s where Dumbledore is from, so I will assume this is an accurate plot synopsis.

Agreed, and I would add reciprocity in which the other person feels the same comfort and safety about you.

Agreed!

… this is Trekkie bait, don’t take it…

I think that the real sexism is in it being the norm that women have to paint their faces in order to be able to partake in society, lest they are deemed ‘unkept’.

This is largely dependent on what society you belong to. I’m a woman and I go out bare-faced all the time. There’s nothing wrong with that. And when I choose to wear makeup, I have fun with it, because I’m doing it for self-expression, not to be socially accepted. A lot of women are like me in this way.

However you can’t go and criticize men for having an aesthetical preference, whilst championing the women’s right to that preference, that’s hypocritical.

Both of these still pertain to women’s aesthetics. Men having an opinion about women’s appearances is not the same as women having an an opinion about their own appearance. There’s no hypocrisy here.

Basically men’s opinions on what women choose to do with their makeup are largely irrelevant and unwanted. Our faces, our choice. Men can have opinions about their own faces and aesthetics.

I have always avoided dating women who would plaster shit all over their faces.

But someone with their faces under a coat of primer, paint, and lacquer, like a car?

Also, I want to have a good idea of what they’ll look like in the morning.

It’s not poor reading comprehension. The post pertained to makeup formulations changing over time and you jump right in with your opinion on the kind of makeup you find unattractive, as if anybody cares. My issue is with the insulting way you describe women doing the kind of makeup that you don’t like. You seem to feel that if you don’t find it attractive, it’s OK to denigrate it. It’s rude and sexist because women exist and do things according to their own preferences and don’t give a shit if you like it or not.

And I’m not the only one pointing this out to you, but you seem determined not to understand.

If you criticise my preferences you are being a bit of a fascist, no?

No. What a ridiculous thing to say.

too much make-up is indicative of having a fake personality

… or, you know, makeup is fun and we use it for self-expression. Jesus christ.

It’s cute you think anyone cares about your opinion on women’s makeup.

I do like a bit of eye liner or shadows (or whatever it’s called) lipstick/gloss, mascara.

My dude this is exactly what “no makeup makeup” is.

Hooray for a second chance!

Wow, thank you, this is great!
