Something occurred to me, for thousands of years, man use to adorn himself with make up and jewelery, tribal war paint to Elizabethan era powders:

quote:

Much like the Neanderthals, Egyptian males’ masculinity was never compromised by their use of makeup. Eye makeup is said to have been used within their culture as early as 4000BC. The Ancient Egyptians are known for their regal and elaborate eye enhancement. They often favored an elongated ‘almond eye’ aesthetic in which the makeup extended past the eyelid. En vogue eye colour pallettes were black, applied using kohl, and during the Old Kingdom (2650BC to 2134BC) a green pigment created by malachite was preferential. Furthermore, It was not uncommon for red ochre lip stains to be applied, accompanied by rouged cheeks and dramatic highlights – created by sweeping mineral across the face using smoothed wood or bone.


quote:

Midway through the 1st century AD, Men using makeup was commonplace within Roman society. Roman men were renowned for their cosmetic use – powder was used for lightening the complexion, rouge was applied to cheeks, and nails were painted using a blend of pig fat and blood


quote:

During the reign of Elizabeth I, men’s grooming was very popular. Makeup included. Men partook in an abundance of beauty treatments including the use of egg and honey masks to smooth away wrinkles. As eye makeup was to Egyptians, pale skin was to Elizabethans. Unknowingly to them the makeup used to create the favored complexion contained lead and often resulted in premature death. In addition to a pale complexion, white hair was also desired, however the bleaching agent ‘lye’ often led to baldness. The obvious negative side effects of vanity gave birth to the powdered aesthetic we are so familiar with.


quote:

Although male grooming remained popular for a time after, it faded into the background during the reign of Queen Victoria I.


It wasn't until the last 150 years, that most western men gave up that low level superficiality of wearing jewelery and painting their faces. We see some men today wearing makeup but those are anomalies with probable mental illness.

Anyway, if you believe as I do, that make up and jewelery are low level human traits, will women evolve as a whole eventually and give up make-up like men did 150+years ago?

How could men become transgendered if this happens?

I'm never giving up my weapons. Just like my ancestors intended.

Why would you want them to?

So you want women to be more like men? Is this really attractive to you?

It takes lots of makeup to look like you don’t have makeup on.

Women can definitely over do it but I agree that most men wouldn't want them to totally do away it

I only wear foundation if I’m also wearing a dress

I don’t think I overdo it.

But most “no makeup” looks online have a product list a mile long

If all women bound together and gave up make up and high heels tomorrow, it would take us men 5 days to adjust. The problem is, women would start cheating on each other in a heart beat because women are horrible to one another.

Never. I love my few pieces of jewelry. They’re very sentimental more than ornamental. I feel weird without my rings on everyday. Makeup is minimal but I like doing it more fancy for a date. I think the heat is getting to everyone lately with some of these post topics!

Only jewelry I usually wear is the ring my grandma had made from my great grandma’s engagement ring. Sentimental.
