If she doesn't disclose up front that she's wearing makeup, that's sexual assault

It's interesting when men use posts like this to announce what they personally find attractive in the comments. That's not the point.

Really? I thought it was funny that on a comment about a guy objectifying a woman that a bunch of guys are somehow objectifying her further in an attempt to virtue signal how cool they are with a natural look.

"It's ok, ladies! Even if this incel doesn't find you hot, I still find you hot!"

How is it not specific enough and what is this current environment? Every time I hear someone refer to a woman as a female that person is invariably some kind of incel loser.

I know everyone's sick of me saying it but that dude is probably a low-key transphobe.

Most incels are. They hate women and trans women are women.

Bingo. Transphobia allows them to exert misogyny on an "acceptable" target while also policing femininity in a broader sense.

He has the tone of a guy trying to pull a political Uno-reverse gotcha... but I can't actually tell what the fuck he's trying to draw an allusion to?

Like, is this supposed to be an equivalent of "woman decides she doesn't want sex, persuing it anyway is sexual assault"? Is that supposed to be similar in any way? Is it supposed to be... something about Trans people? Somehow? I'm just not sure what he's even going for...

There was a thing a while ago about how men who lied about who they were to get laid, namely pick-up artists, were committing sexual assault. The manosphere responded with stuff like this, suggesting that women who wore make-up, spanx and padded bras were also committing assault.

As someone who doesn't keep up on make up trends, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you point to any examples?

TBH I'm not super knowledgable about makeup, but the look on the left side, or something more or less like it, is pretty common in like celebrity spaces, porn etc., and it definitely wasn't quite like this 20 years ago. Maralago face is one variant, but the general style seems broader than that to me.

I'm convinced these people don't actually like women. Sounds weird typing that out, but you'd have to be an absolute fool to not understand the context around make up in society and what attractive looks like.

It really reaches a new level of bullshit in this post when you find out that men wore make-up but it just went out of fashion. I'd like to try out some make up styles that could enhance my masculine facial features, just to see what it looks like. Is that a thing?

They still wear tons of makeup, especially right wing ones like this guy

The left hand image looks fake. Mainly because the ceiling has major water stains like she's in an abandoned building! But yeah, it's all about the money.

You are. Jeremy is objectifying this woman and so are you. It's not about what is more attractive to men.

Part of the premise of the original post is about what is more attractive to men, and expressing a preference against makeup is a logically valid way to contradict its argument (while also being a faux pas that context does not defend against). The whole thing is obvious bait and you're both falling for it.

Haven't picked up that I've got a habit of calling out these kinds of faux pas? I'm aware of what I'm doing. I don't have much patience for men thinking they're better than others for making the same kind of objectifying statements about women.

This isn't about what men want or what makes their dicks hard.

Velma will post “Nobody cares what makes your dick hard.” and “I’m lying in bed thinking about women” in the same thread. You’re not the problem right now.

Edit: Sorry, it was “Can confirm, I am also thinking about the waitress with big tits while laying in bed.”

Women aren't allowed to make jokes now?

Stripping context from statements is real useful in twisting them to whatever you want them to mean.

Yeah I posted "I'm also lying in bed thinking about that woman" on a meme. That statement is only talking about my internal thoughts and doesn't saying anything about the woman or what I think she should look like or change to appease what I want.

Go ahead. Go digging.

Yeah, the first comment I'm responding to someone comparing women's tits to cow's milk glands. Literally dehumanizing women with large breasts.

The second comment is my own personal thoughts on appreciating that fictional woman in the meme. It's not comparing her to anything or saying that she would be more attractive if she did XYZ or that I like her better a certain way.

You can't comprehend the difference between the two?

When someone else shares their thoughts on a woman, they're fucked up and evil. When I do it, I'm just expressing my opinion.

Sharing that you prefer the woman in the image without makeup is different than saying you find her attractive.

Do you understand the difference?

Oh, for sure, doing your hair and makeup has absolutely nothing to do with trying to make yourself more attractive to men when you are a straight woman. Very valuable insight, thanks
