- It's sad that fashion dictates that women must hide behind a
- mask of makeup to be "beautiful." The idea that women are
- attractive only when you cannot see their real selves is an
- idea perpetuated by men because (1) it support a multi-billion
- dollar cosmetics industry owned mostly by men, and (2) it is
- demeaning to women to not be able to be accepted as they really
- are. Thus, men are able to maintain a power structure that
- obviously favors men and puts-down women; and makes lots of money
- in the doing!
-
- As long as women continue to smear that ridiculous colored
- stuff all over their faces, they cannot be taken seriously.
-
- Don't even ask me what I think about high-heels!
-
- Rember the "bra burning" of the 70's? Maybe it's time to
- have a "makeup burning" of the 90's.
