im gonna!! add a lil something here bc ppl are misinterpreting this so reblog this version instead if ud like
-gay men are very brave and it is very hard for them to wear makeup. i didnt put this in this post because it’s not what it’s about, i didnt wanna make the post any longer than it was, and i feel like the mainstream media has done a relatively good job of showing that gay men are Very brave for wearing makeup and its something that does get talked abt
-the empowerment that men can feel through makeup creates a very different point of view from it than women who are expected to wear it. i think this leads them to not fully be aware of the harms it can cause women because while its talked a lot abt on tumblr not everyone. has tumblr and the mainstream media has done a Terrible job of showing this
-gay men who wear makeup arent at fault for not knowing abt it i just think it isnt talked abt like at all in their makeup communities specifically because they are makeup communities. its not their fault for not knowing but its def def def something we need to talk abt more and in general because that’s really a topic that often goes under the radar
-im not attempting to pit women against men here i just think men who wear makeup need to be aware at the difference in the ways makeup is defying the norm (men wearing it goes against society’s expectations, women not wearing it goes against society’s expectations) and thats def a thing men and women can unite over i dont want anyone thinking that this is a Men vs Women Whos Right Should We Wear Makeup Or Not thing
-terfs/radfems/transmisogynists don’t touch this post it’s not for you and trans women are fully included in all mentions of “women” in this post
