Women who are for liberation for women: don’t wear makeup!

Three reasons-
1) Anti-feminist & harms women as a class
2) Unhealthy & undermines women as individuals
3) Exploitative & hurts workers, animals, and the environment
1. Women are pressured to wear makeup and society very much imposes this behavior on us. There are social, economic, even legal consequences on women for failing to participate.
Whether YOU personally “like” or “enjoy” it, any woman conforming to this standard reinforces this expectation on ALL women, that’s how social norms work. All women can only be free to choose once this pressure is gone, and that will only happen when enough choose to defy it.

Real #BodyPositivity is ditching harmful, patriarchal rituals of femininity that disempower women as individuals & a class & waste our time, energy, money, & health, also getting us to support the status quo by giving money to patriarchal corporations that profit off of sexism.
Imagine how much time and money women waste applying makeup, shaving, dieting, plastic surgery, veiling, etc al, that our brothers don’t even consider! It’s like women are always socially/culturally coerced somehow, someway, into torturing ourselves.
- If men don’t do it, why should we? What positivity do any of these things bring us as women? Why should we indulge double standards?
- If we want an end to oppression, why should we support oppressive systems and standards with our dollars and participation?
