I realized this when I went to school in grade eight with no make-up on and one of my friends said "You know, I think you're prettier with make-up on
At the time I thought, duh, that's what make-up is for but now that I'm older, wiser and certainly more cynical, I've realized it's a tool for lying
Women constantly cover their faces in powder masks because society says that's the only way we can be beautiful.
Society tells us we are failures as women if we don't wear it.
I've even read one woman say "I think women who don't wear make-up are lazy" without knowing a thing about them.
There are TONS of people who think this way, it's disgusting!
What are we really 'for' then? To be independant individuals with dreams and ambition, or to be little decorations on a man's arm? Not even on a mans arm, on THE Man's arm! Society is trying to turn us into plastic people who feed the economy through buying designer clothes and rediculas amounts of make-up
Where do you stand on this issue?
