Comments by "POO CRAYON" (@poocrayon4588) on "Is It Ever Too Much Makeup? | Middle Ground" video.

Women have been wearing and obsessed with makeup since ancient times - long before the current makeup industry existed. Its not just some con played on women by and industry or men at large - its something that actually comes about because of (many) womens human nature. Im not saying its positive or that it has to be negative - but women will never stop feeling insecure about their appearances or trying to improve them and idealized versions of women will always exist. There's nothing you can do about it - its human nature, its womens nature.

@shifa444 Wrong - aside from a very short period for upper class men in the 1700's (and women still wore more) men have in general never worn much make up. Women and men did not both wear makeup in the same way and your deluding yourself if you believe that. Even women in ancient rome had a whole beauty industry catering to them in a way men just didnt. The point was that its not men or some evil industry forcing women into makeup - its just something that (many) womens own nature causes many of them to want to do and so it becomes a thing.

Makeup on women is pretty common all around the world. Europe, America, Australia, Asia and the Asia pacific all use makeup and so do a lot of women in the middle east who dont completly cover themselves

And your partner is free to dump your butt if they think youve started caking on clown makeup

@SnazzyArcade yes. Do you understand what hormones are and the way they influence thought and action? Because it doesnt seem like you do. Seems more like you saw one study you thought could prove your pre existing point of view and decided to claim it as "proof" of what you believe, even though it doesn't.

@yousra3279 no they didnt - stop pulling "facts" out your ass

@swinxfee Boo hoo - your literally wearing something that enables that control to continue and you delude yourself otherwise. Cant help people who wont help themselves. Women could have had more agency over their own lives at any point - but they want the safety net of men providing for them as well, so they never really go all out and try for it.

@che3se1495 Guess women should set up their own system and jobs then and probably should have always done that - but I guess its easier to try to placate the men and gain access and entry into what they have than risk failure by attempting to make something for themselves. Sure men can be Aholes - but if women feel the only way to get by is to gain entry into what men have the fault for their situation is in their own lack of invention and industrial spirit. And not just right now either but for all of history. At least thats if you believe women have been historically oppressed.

@hsnrb9959 That only happened in certain weird places at certain times - if you really believe all thru history female babies were taken and being kille for being female you know less than nothing. Women chose there way the same as men - when society had progressed to a point of technological evoloution that it were practical and beneficial for women to seek the same jobs etc as men they did so - but not before and that's not some coincidence. That's fine - but's lets not pretend women were seeking any kind of "equality" (or equality in their view) before that. They were not - so no, they weren't opressed at all. That is revisionist history.

Probably they think your waiting for one of your friends who is into make up and dont want to hassle you
2
Yeah but like you said - its best used to accentuate what youve got. Maybe some younger girls need to be told caking it on like instagram clowns is a bad look - otherwise how will they know?

@dominicgunderson Lol "the patriachy" that just naturally evolved in all parts of the world independently? Gee, wonder if theres any biological basis in that. Women compete with each other in looks - yes men factor into this - but its very much biological. its biologically based in a desire to increase ones desirability and therefore value. As long as women want men to provide them with what men have (which they always will in some fashion) this beahviour will continue

@user-ok4xb1rd9f Not really its not the same for men and women - "best" for men can mean something very different - best doesnt neccassarily mean beautiful. Often mens "best" look is to indicate sucess, wealth or power. Hence there are many times throughout history where men have not worn any makeup at all and its been looked down on for them to do so. So although there is pressure for men to advertise themself as the "best" partner - this oftentimes isnt based on physical beauty. Tho it can have physical markers which represent it.

@oliviaj9037 Your a fool if you dont believe it or believe you can truly change it - an absolute fool

@ellaa3776 Lol - you know nothing of ancient times. Women have always been this obsessed with their looks. There's nothing that can be done about it - even when you try to do something and promote "positivity" or "acceptance" of one's looks, it's still the same neurotic obsessing over looks that has always gone on.

@SnazzyArcade That brain comparison proves nothing (although there actually is more difference than you say which you can google for yourself) - you haven't factored in the way hormones and other gender influenced chemicals in our bodies and brains affect the way both sexes think and act. Lol women are so triggered that it's pointed out they like to wear makeup and always have worn it more than men😭 What are you mad about? Are you saying it in't true? Do you wan't men to be as into makeup as women? Why does it matter?

@SnazzyArcade Never said the studies meant nothing - learn to read - I said that thought and action of the two genders was also influenced by other biological functions, which influence the way thought and instinct takes place in the brain. Hijab is a bad comparison unless you actually believe that men began the ages old "trend" of women wearing makeup by forcing/talking women into it at some point long ago and women have forgotten this and been so brainwashed by men across so many cultures all these years (until you of course) they just keeping doing it. You dont have a clue what your talking about and your feminist type thinking of always looking for men as the root cause of everything has rotted your brain.
1
@che3se1495 Yeah because they want what men can give them - if it ever becomes the case that thats no longer true then maybe they will stop emphasising their appearance. But its unlikely

@robloxqueen5534 Lol - you have no idea when or how makeup started and pretending you do only shows your ignorance - no one knows exactly
1
So you wear makeup even if you know youll be alone all day in your house and see no one else do you?

@johnabraham6695 Wearing makeup is ridiculous for men - but its got nothing to do with being Christian or not. There wear some highly religious men in the 16th and 17th centuries who wore makeup as was the style for upperclass men at the time.
