Is the taboo around male make-up disappearing?

[Independent voter]

Ergo proxy? xD

Yes it is.

[Dr Assbandit]

Liberals already got em wearing skinny jeans aka women clothes. it's a shame what they've done to the world.

And we have guys who wear or wore kilts. I'm willing to take a bet those Scottish lads are far more manlier than you'll ever be based on how insecure you are regarding yours and others masculinity .

No thanks. I don't need to hide my flaws to feel good enough about myself to make it through half a day without a breakdown.

Personally I find make up on men hideous, especially when it's too much which is almost usually always the case

Never had a problem with men wearing make-up. The only issue I have is how it is labeled.

What makes it "Men's make-up"? What is the reason to split it up by sex (Male and Female)? Make up is make up. Unless there is something specific that makes it for Men, and not Women.

I understand the practical aspect of it, like reducing glare when on camera and stuff like that. Other than that, wtf?

A growing number of young GAY and BI men are wearing make-up and big brands are embracing the trend. Could the stigma around male cosmetics finally be disappearing?

I fixed that for you. No normal man would wear makeup.

This comes down to sales. Why sell to 50% of the population when you can try for 100%. I will never wear make up and no man ever should. The state of men is declining fast been replaced with limp wristed oxygen theives that cannot even change a tyre on a car let alone the oil.

Celebrities, news people, etc have been doing it for years, why not the general male public as well. That being said, I wouldn't wear it.

Only when on camera, and they dont do it by choice. Its done to make shows look better and to diffuse bright lighting

Every insult to a man's perceived lack of masculinity, is a direct insult to women. Think about that for a moment.

Literally everyone you see on television gets touched up by a makeup artist before they go air. I have a bunch of mates who are Jeopardy and other similar gameshow contests/winners and they were all touched up, irrelevant of gender.

Going off that, I do musicals, plays, general stage performance all the time. We usually sit through about 30 minutes of makeup as an extra, and if we have lines, it can be hours.

Even the notion of small penises?

Feminine vanity is not a good trait for men to have.

Welcome to nature, where traits for one sex are not as valued for the other.

Well, something along the lines of "You don't have the balls to..." Means in order to be brave, you must be a man with testicles. In a roundabout way, it basically says since women don't have testicles, they cannot be as brave as a man.

Welcome to the new world where those archaic views are going away day by day.

I don't care if someone wears makeup. It's not my place to play fashion police.

That being said I do thinks it's largely vain and unnecessary.

History is full of male attire and makeup that makes today's populace uncomfortable. Like anything abnormal at this time it'll take time for it to be more mainstream. Or not.

Personally I am not a fan of makeup on guys that emulates feminine styles but there's plenty of (colourful) stuff that could impress me.

That's balls, not the dick. Which is actually an interesting perspective, the penis isn't used as much in language to indicate a strong man, as the balls are.

[Ulfric Trumpcloak]

Been seeing a lot of dudes with make up lately. They look ridiculous if you ask me, just like women do, but for them it's the norm.

lol, no the penis is just a joke to itself. Children draw penis's on things to be funny. I don't know what it is, but there is just something funny about seeing a penis anywhere besides attached to a body.

Such as the pilot who drew a penis in the sky, that was comic gold!

No its not. If you cannoy change tyres or oil as a woman you are an idiot as well. The notion was more of how society is moving more towards a narcissistic outlook and skills once learned are not happening with the new generations.

Nothing here is insulting women. Does teasing a mans lack of masculinity necause his pecker is tiny also an insult to women? Is saying a woman is strong(a masculine trait) insulting to men?

Is every joke about womens lack a femininity a direct insult to men? What a ridiculous statement.
