She's trying to foster empathy. See if it works.

not a bad tact. Putting it in terms a 7 year old can grok

sorry!

No worries. Just us 🙂

someone was WRONG on reddit

Someone wrong on the internet? I hate that!

well, acting like makeup is a sign that women "care about their appearance" and that it is some kind of universal norm

May I inquire if the person saying this was male or female?

Male

Obviously, when women stopped plucking their hairlines back several inches, it started a whole decline in maintenance standards...

Oh. Look, I think we fellows have a right to give our opinions on anything, but there are some areas were we just don't have as much oomph behind our opinions. It's like a lady saying she knows what its like to be smashed in the balls. No darling, you don't. With guys and make up? You know what you like...no denying, but why every woman does or doesn't do it? No. you don't .

And if no lady wore it, you would move on

Because lots of other artificial trends have also died... and nobody misses them.

And I have the background to list them all.

MOST guys I know claim they prefer less make up or none. Some women tell me that the guys who prefer no make up are likely ooing and awwwing over make up just lightly and skillfully applied because some women are just that good . I figure its the woman's face and she'll decide . I tend to prefer less but that's fine, I don't have to wear it 😉

Yeah - the "I don't like makeup" bind is tough

like - you need enough makeup to look airbrushed, but too much or not expertly applied and you get slammed

Does seem like a tricky tightrope.

Yup

And wearing none at all is often seen as "unprofessional"

Or folks ask you if you're sick 😉

yup

"oh you don't need make up" /Doesn't wear make up "Geez, are you sick?? You look so pale and worn" // Kills man

I have female friends. Anecdotes educate 🙂

yup

And I am expected to tell them things about a man's pov. We're a very complex gender says loftily IT's not all sex and sandwiches ... there's booze and sports and violent video games... 😉

ha

*zip!*

hihi

hello

Nice scene there.

Bird likes helping!

And sorry for slow response.

That was well done. Aug would be proud.

Sometimes, I do hope the baroness comes out 🙂

well, you saw Morth's opinion on how that reflected good leadership

yup!

Hm. Wonder how Autumn flaw would play into THAT job

Negative side, unwelcome advances

yup

Roo's gonna miss this confession. Ah well:)

yup

Gah. Computer got thumped

It's okay. I think.

Morth doesn't know all sparrow's doubts so maybe putting foot in mouth a bit.
