lol at the picture. I think men should be able to wear makeup if they want.

Yes, I agree. It depends on how well they apply it. Some know how to do it and what works for them and they can look great. Others don't. It's exactly the same for women.

Yeah makeup is a weird thing to be gendered. It's colored pigments for your face. If a guy wants to cover a spot or wear eyeliner then he should do it.

I believe people have the right to do what they want if they don't violate liberty of others.

Something can be socially rejected even if this is legal and don't violate liberty of others. In this kind of situations society must evolve.
Things that are socially rejected and legal depend of countries.
For example in the bible belt of USA transgender people are socially rejected even if being a transgender is legal.


Something can be socially rejected and illegal even if it don't violate liberty of others. In this kind of situation society and laws must evolve.
Things that are socially rejected and illegal depend of countries.
For example male homosexuality is socially rejected and illegal in the majority of Muslim countries.

Something can be non socially rejected and illegal even if it don't violate liberty of others. In this kind of situation laws must evolve.
Things that are non socially rejected and illegal depend of countries.
I don't know any example of this situation.

Something can be non socially rejected and legal.
Things that are non socially rejected and legal depend of countries.
In the majority of place in the world you can work hard if you want to and nobody will notice it.

No, I wasn't. I see more and more young, straight boys using some kind of make-up, especially on the eyes, plucking their eyebrows, and using lip gloss.

No. More day-to-day use, rather than theatrical use.

Male ceremonial makeup in the Wodaabe tribe is quite stunning.

I use my wife's makeup to cover up little skin lesions (from the sun and being 66).  Other than that, I'm my natural ugly.

There is just no accounting for fashion.  I am flummoxed by the almost obligatory (according to the current gods of fashion) use of brown shoes with dark business suits.  Go back just a few years and that would have been an unforgivable breach of acceptable business or even casual social dress.  That would be a fashion offense appropriate to backwoods hillbillies.  Not now.

  And Girls...really....are you comfortable with all that facial stubble that seems to be the current fashion demand for men? .  When I ask about comfortable, I am referring to physical contact situations.  (Sigh)  I am just out of the fashion loop and I do not understand why some New York fashion guru can or should dictate what I should wear or whether I need tattoos on my face. ass, ankle, or ear. Not to mention piercings.  :foottap:

My wife, Elaine, is an E-bay power seller of cosmetics and candles.  Her customer base includes a significant proportion of men.........or at least the customers have a masculine names.  So pander to the buyer....whatever floats their boat.

Hey, why not? Pretty sure make-up won't make a man melt or anything. Lol. It's just another silly gendered thing for no reason.
