Should women wear make-up?
I don't wear make-up. I own some but I don't think I've put it on since I was in high school (not that long ago, but still).
If the problem with gender dynamics is women being objectified for sex rather than who they are as an individual than I can think of no greater betrayal of inner feminine power than the outer presentation of make-up which has no purpose except to accentuate the physically attractive over the intangible. To wit --
Is such a woman a traitor to her gender?
Okay, I admit it, the kerfuffle over the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is the genesis of this thread. I think some very sound arguments about the objectification of women have been made but -- as it has been said before -- morality is an art, it involves knowing where to draw the line.
So what is the line? Does applying eye liner cross the line?

55. "Traitor to her gender"?
Gosh. I can't imagine why some women are feeling that DU is becoming a hostile place.
They must be as hysterical and irrational as those African-American who have expressed the same feelings.
Or the smattering of Muslim posters who feel completely unwelcomed.
And increasingly, those of us who on the political left.
DU - another study in the the preponderance of white privilege, male determinism, and general rightward slouching of the internet. well-played Skinner, you've demonstrated that without meaningful moderation, even a liberla bastion can become a freeper shithole - all that's needed is time and attrition.

90. someone had a poutrage over your post
On Mon Feb 17, 2014, 03:33 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
"Traitor to her gender"?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4513862
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
The OP asks a logical question, given the shit-storm caused by a woman posting the SI swimsuit cover. This poster uses that question to launch an attack on Skinner and DU. We are not a "freeper shithole".
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Feb 17, 2014, 03:39 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

They truly are an absolute riot to watch.

Buy? That assumes they have jobs in the first place. They root around in the dumpsters of Lowe's, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware.

DUmmie wymons bitching about makeup = buttugly liberals who are damned proud to show it!
Rush is right, feminism is for the benefit of the ugly, and the only people who promote public nudity are the same people no one wants to see naked in the first place.

No stupid,it is your self entitled,hate filled,victim wannabe mentality that made it a cesspool 13 years ago.

None of them seem to have the guts to write about 'Female privilege,' the ability of moonbat women to play either the Victim Card or the Empowerment Card to win an argument or at least browbeat anyone rational into silence, usually with the two cards alternating with a zootrope-like rapidity.
Of course, if any of them actually did muster that much intellectual honesty, they'd get instantly alerted on and banned...

You know, somehow me wearing make-up has not made me any less intelligent, capable at my job, less female, or more oppressed.

That's because you are not a DUmmie, CR, you're an actual female human being. :blowkiss:

Have any of the DUmp queens chimed in about the use of make up and how it objectifies them?

DUmp democrat family values.

My daughters saw me working full time as an attorney, doing significant work for the public (worked for Fed govt,) so they didn't doubt the possibilities, I think. Their father did similar. They did observe things go bad over time at home w me and their father, so their view of the world/life may be balanced.
I'm going tomorrow to cemetery, meeting daughters, sons in law and new grandbaby, to entomb their father's ashes, so I expect high emotions, and interested to see how daughters behave, as they don't speak to one another. Fingers crossed.

They don't have enough spackling or paint to cover the ugliness of DUmp wymynz.
I ain't talking about their physical appearance, either.
Well, maybe gNads could use a bit, slathered on with a trowel. :shrug:

Completely.
She should become fat and ugly to properly prove to men that womyn are never to be objectifieded. Just like all the womyn at DU.
Unless she is a dancer on a cRap song, a female singer/cRapper or an actress. Then she is giving money a platform to the Movement so all rules are off.

76. And when most of us turn 50, we become invisible
Speak for yourself!
It doesn't matter how much plastic surgery or how much makeup or what sort of fashion. Once the uterus dries up and goes out of business, a woman ceases to be.
I got my invisibility cloak right on schedule and I've been having a great deal of fun with it.
Just having the hooting and cat calling stop was liberating. At last.
:rotf: :lmao: :lol:

Are you kidding? This is something they waste their time with? I love make-up! Ulta? Heaven on earth! Point me towards Macy's and I'll make a bee line to the make up counter...then to shoes and handbags! I seriously doubt wanting to own every single color of eyeshadow made by Urban Decay is going to affect my brain. It's not like I'm shooting botox into my head or anything. Have they forgotten all their heroines in Hollywood?

Sorry DUmmie, but Freepers aren't the ones stirring shit on Skin's Island. Your infighting is a product of not having a Republican president to blame. The breakdown of your Lord of the Flies style society started with Obama's election.
Now you get to see what liberals are really like when you don't have a common enemy. You turn on each other over the least of imagined or real slights, and like a dog with a bone, you can't let go.

Check-out the rest of the thread.
The Ku Klux Klams and their entourage eunuchs are highly threatened by NU's question.

Because you're PROUD to be a woman, and you most likely think that men noticing you is a GOOD thing.

I like watching DUmmies fight each other. :lmao: :yahoo:
On that topic, Nat Hentoff called for the impeachment of Obama. It went largely unnoticed. Now, if it was Ralph Nader saying that, DU would have to shut down for a week.

You've got the butt ugly part right. Dummie Elleng posted a picture of herself and she had to hit very branch on the ugly tree as she fell out of it.

DUmmy Warpy needn't worry.
Regardless her age, a woman who looks like President von Hindenburg is gonna stick out like a sore thumb.
