Would you care if your son wanted to wear makeup?

[Anonymous]

The kind of makeup that makes them look feminine.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Yes and no. If it turned out they are transgender then no, otherwise yes. If you are male you need to be male, if their is a medical condition i. e. transgenderism, that is beyond your control and you do what you need to to actualize yourself in the best way that you can. A male who cannot function as a male is useless in the eyes of society and women and will always be disfunctional and never be able to self actualize, as such allowing them to do as they will without guidance or rules or some kind of frame work to function within, regardless of what they are doing, is deterimental and destructive to them (which is probably why you see substantially higher rates of mental issues and depression with those who are "progressive" then those who are not, because without structure they don't know how to function and be their best selves.).

[abc3643]

I would not be for that, no.

It's one thing to be homosexual by being a homosexual or woman has nothing to do with makeup. Many women may use make-up, but that's cultural; it's not an intrinsic trait to being a woman, so there's no need for a gay male to wear it.

Furthermore, all wearing feminine-looking make-up does is target the gay male for harassment and violence. Ask Jack Twist about that.

Lastly, if you are a gay male and you want to attract another GAY male, why the fuck would you want to look like a female? The other gay males are into ___males___... That's what makes them gay!

[Ninjazzed]

I don’t think you quite grasp the full gravity of homosexuality and what it means.

The same logic can be applied to lesbians who want to have the appearance of a man, or being “butch” so to speak.

Effeminacy in men has a lot to do with a mindset. Most of us are familiar with the stereotype of a “gay voice.”

A man speaks at a higher pitch, and in a more melodious fashion.

This can be due to high estrogen levels or simply because his brain is more female than male.

Estrogen levels can reach a certain concentration and stimulate part of the hypothalamus, the small portion of the brain that regulates body temp and sex drive.

[abc3643]

@Ninjazzed I do understand the gravity of homosexuality and don't disagree with you because I know that lots of homosexuals have identity issues and want to identify as members of the opposite sex.

My thrust in my post - and I know that I wasn't clear - is that fashion choices are not intrinsic to sexuality and orientation.

The butch lesbian who wants to dress like a man or the gay boy who wants to wear feminine makeup are doing so because these are the current fashion / makeup trends for these genders. The gay boy wants to wear makeup to appear more like a woman because he feels himself more as a woman than a man. But, make-up doesn't define who a woman is. And, furthermore, the gay boy is not a woman.

Like the butch lesbian, he should be free to dress however he wants and that includes make-up. But I have the freedom to not like it. And I don't like it really primarily because, as the hypothetical father of a gay boy, I see the make-up as a target. Old adages: 1) The tallest blade of grass is the one that is cut first. 2) It's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. In both of these, action happens to you when you call attention to yourself. A boy appearing feminine like that screams out being gay and sets him up for harassment or violence. Being gay should be a private matter; if you don't want to be treated differently don't act differently.

So, I understand what you are saying and don't deny it.
I'd want my gay son to survive and thrive in our world and the reality is that the more effeminate he is - (especially when by choice of clothes or make-up), the less likely he will survive and thrive.

[Ninjazzed]

“Being gay should be a private matter; if you don't want to be treated differently don't act differently”

Yeah, I don’t think so. People will stick out like a sore thumb, so I wouldn’t expect them not to deviate from the collective hivemind. It’s something you’re born with, that’s like telling a disabled person not to appear disabled, even though it’s beyond their control.

[abc3643]

@Ninjazzed Do you have a job? Do you want to KEEP your job? Then you understand that there are certain expectations on behavior. You are free to do what you want (once, at least), but others don't have to like it and THEY have the freedom to react accordingly - including firing people.

[Ninjazzed]

How does being gay correlate with keeping a job? Are you implying that there aren’t already equal-opportunity/discrimination laws in place?

[Ninjazzed]

An employer can’t terminate your employment simply based on your sexual orientation, that’s against the law.

[abc3643]

@Ninjazzed Actually, that's only a recent phenomenon based on a US Supreme Court case last year.

From Wikipedia...
Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U. S. ___ (2020), was a landmark United States Supreme Court civil rights case in which the Court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees against discrimination because they are gay or transgender.

From the opinion of the court...
www.supremecourt.gov/.../17-1618_hfci.pdf

Sometimes small gestures can have unexpected consequences. Major initiatives practically guarantee them. In our time, few pieces of federal legislation rank in significance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. There, in Title VII, Congress outlawed discrimination in the workplace on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Today, we must decide whether an employer can fire someone
simply for being homosexual or transgender. The answer is clear. An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.

[abc3643]

============

But sexual orientation is irrelevant. Dress codes are not. There is no federal law regarding employer dress codes.

From 2017...

www.lexology.com/.../detail.aspx
TITLE: The legal landscape on employer dress code and appearance policies: a U. S. and European perspective
...
Federal U. S. law does not directly regulate employer dress codes or appearance policies. However, it does prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on a number of protected characteristics including, for example, religion, sex, race and national origin (and, since June 2020, now also sexual orientation and identity).

===========
The point with dress codes, ethics codes, and other similar company rules is that a company has the legal right to expect its employees to act, behave, and dress is a manner it desires and, to enforce it, they establish those rules and make them clearly known.

Thus, if a company has a dress/make-up code for males to not wear overtly feminine make-up, then that's it because there's no law protecting the employee from those rules. Furthermore, no such law would likely survive a legal challenge by a company because a company is within its First Amendment rights to create such codes as part of its branding.

So, if you're a gay male who wants to go to work dressing like Ru Paul, you better find a company for which that is acceptable... or work for yourself like Ru Paul. A gay male going to work and violating the company dress codes getting fired isn't getting fired for being gay, but for violating the dress codes which apply to all employees equally.

Look, I don't want to come across as anti-gay. I am an LBGTQI+ ally. But I also understand the real world and the real world is a tad hostile to persons not straight/cis-gendered.

If my son chose to wear makeup such as these men did & many others before them. No I don't have a problem with it. Can you imagine where these men would be if they were told no you can't wear makeup, or how it would have effected their signature trade mark (identity of who they are)
Either the kid is going to grow out of it , or not, maybe he'll end up being famous who's to say but I'm okay with it ✌️

[A_Bell]

Basically all these people are reckless drug abusers.

What a great sample.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Thank you ❤️

[ilikefrogsalot]

@A_Bell To be fair, most celebrities are reckless drug abusers. Correlation, not causation. I could say "My straight male friend wears makeup and he's fine", but that isn't a good example because you don't know him. A better opinion would to list celebrities as examples because, y'know, everyone knows celebrities.

[Ninjazzed]

@ilikefrogsalot Fucking exactly

[DizzyDesii]

I've never been into makeup but had to wear it for ballet recitals as a kid. I prob wouldn't wear it again until the day i marry. My future daughter won't be wearing makeup until she's at least 18 with the exception of her ballet recitals or prom. I pray my future son would NEVER want to wear makeup but if he does, it won't be until he's 18 and out my house. I dont play that

[Asker]

You are dark skinned I am guessing

[DizzyDesii]

Being black doesn't mean I’m dark skinned. My skin is darker than a nonblack person, yes. Bt that has nothing to do with not wanting my kid to wear makeup

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm tired and read that as ballet rectals. And now all I can visualize is butts with just feet instead of entire legs coming out of them.

[johnsmithjs]

What the hell does it matter the color of her skin you piece of garbage, she simply said no kid in her household will wear makeup until they are 18 and if they are a male not under her roof. I am not dark skinned and no son of mine will wear make up under my roof either, I also agree with her feeling about her daughter not being allowed to wear make-up accept for special occasions. If I have a daughter she will only wear lip gloss and if I have a son he can use blistex or chap stick for rough lips. Other then that NO, NO, NO! I guess I am dark skinned also, right. Here is your sign, "IDIOT"

[Asker]

@johnsmithjs I am only saying that because many dark skinned black women in America choose not to wear makeup. Depending on how dark the skin is, is often doesn’t look the same.

[Anonymous]

If he's straight FUCK NO, because it's super fem, I don't want a super effeminate straight boy, and he'd probs be bullied, beat up and stuff. The only makeup I could tolerate is maybe black eye pencil if it's just like a smudged circle around his eyes, no wings, if he's going for some type of alternative look maybe.
If he's gay & out I don't care as much because it's fine if a gay guy acts girly. But I really wouldn't like it at all still and I wouldn't want to be seen in public with him like that

[ChrisMaster69]

I have a daughter that is learning kickboxing, She’s helped both me and my ex wife on our respective cars. She wants Tattoos and to learn kart racing.

if I had a son, then it would not be an issue, it’s his life to look at how he wants to express thing.

[Anonymous]

Yes lol idc about this “woke” bs my boys are not allowed to act feminine nor are my girls allowed to act masculine. A fine line is drawn here... I don’t think women playing sports is “masculine” nor do i think men wearing a pink shirt is “feminine”. However my line is drawn to things like my son putting makeup/wearing a skirt, or my daughter wanting to like pee in a urinal. Then yes these things I wouldn’t accept but obviously if my daughter said she likes football, she doesn’t wanna wear makeup, she likes jeans or my son want a pink shirt (from the men’s department), he likes cooking or whatever I wouldn’t care cause these are basic activities however makeup is only for women and skirts are not for men either. at least not men in my family and household. Others can do as they please but this ish ain’t acceptable in our family at all. Call us close minded please.😂🏃‍♀️

[ThePolishKnight37]

The only thing I would worry about is how mentally strong they are. They will get bullied,. I would just encourage you to keep tabs on their mental state. He is being himself. I love people that walk to the beat of their own drum. They are usually strong willed and do not care what others think.

[purplepoppy]

Yes, I wouldn't want my son to be the subject of public ridicule.

[Sabretooth]

if he's lucky.

[beardedbigguy]

Let them try it out. They may like it they may not. If you force people to not do things they like, often they will sneak and do the things. Have an open mind, explain what some of the consequences might be if they do this and then fully support them and help them be the best person they can be

[hahahmm]

And if your son said he wanted to try playing with fire and gasoline cans you'd say that? There's no need for an open mind on every topic, actually.

[beardedbigguy]

But there is a way to show the the power it holds. Hoe distrusctive but also how it cooks our foods. Not everything is black and white. Let kids explore but you still have to supervise them. We need kids who are able to make their own decisions but are also aware of the good and bad that comes with them

[hahahmm]

Some things are simply irresponsible for an adult to let a kid play with like crossing an interstate highway at rush hour. Analogies aren't perfect. Yes, parent A. is free to try and experiment with their kid's life while parent B. says 'nope'

[just_a_potato]

I always say everyone should be able to do what they love as long as it doesn't hurt them. But I'm not going to lie to myself, with the way I was raised, I wouldn't want my own son doing that while he was still living with me.

[Nicegirldaqui]

Yeah, I would care, a child don't choose for themselves. As a child, he would do only what I allowed him to do.

[Nazgol]

Well said 👍👍👏

[VIVANT]

Then how does that child learn to think for themselves and become an adult?

[Nazgol]

@VIVANT obviously when they're no longer considered a "child". Why would a child have to think for itself when it is not under any obligation yet? Once it reaches a certain age then it can begin to think for itself

[Breanna_nonbinary]

No. In fact I’d teach him. If you’re going to do something you might as well learn to do it correctly. Besides if he feels the need to do it, discouraging him will only harm his emotional growth and make him feel bad.

[oldasIfeel22]

A man asked this question?

Kids will go through their rebellious teenage years. But unlike the militant trans activists who want to make it legal to give kids hormone altering drugs without parental consent i feel this is NOT a sure sign of gender dsyphoria.

Instead let the kid experiment and see what happens (he will likely get negative feedback among his peers). From there he can decide if this is cool or not. But I would neither discourage nor support it.

[hahahmm]

Yes. He'd essentially be rejecting everything that was giving to him by his parents and ancestors. It's like asking if I'd care if my son was an arsonist while living in our wood frame home. He's free to go do his own thing in his own place.

[devilish-cutie]

i wouldn't mind and who says make up is feminin, men have before worn make up and tights and dresses n it was all normal back then, its just fashion trends

[Melamore]

I would let my son wear make up if he chose too, but only after he's a teenager, not as a kid. And I would do the same to my daughter.

[kyleelyn199723]

Yes which is why I’m not having kids really because you can’t really control them to how you want them to be. They just migrate into what they want to be whether it’s right or wrong.

[DaarkAngeel]

Of course not, telling someone not to wear what they want because of their gender is the most stupid thing ever. Everyone should be allowed to wear whaat they want regardless of their gender and sex. And I would be happy that he found a way to express himself

[joesheks]

Typical drivel that’s taught in schools now

[ElvenMr]

Cool, let the boys wear bikinis and bras.

[Slartybartfast]

The perfect response...

https://youtu.be/7-bIhCBSrzU

[PaynefulPleasures]

ROFLMAO 😂

[Zelda_5]

Not if they're older. I don't care cuz fuck gender roles, but makeup isn't necessary. If you start wearing it too young, you'll feel like you always need to wear it. Once they're a little older, I wouldn't care.

[TruthBringer]

Yeah I do care that my son doesn't become a degenerate

[BeMuse]

If it was something like monster make up for Halloween, camo make up for paint ball or air soft, or something like then I wouldn’t think about it. If he was dressing up like a girl and being a homo I’d be against it.

[paradiseonearth93]

No! I would be excited to help him learn and try new looks. I love makeup and it would be a cool passion to share with my child.

[ImaFitDiva]

I find more issue with things women usually use suddenly having a guy version by putting the word man in front of the name. man purse, man romper, guyliner, and dare I say, man-skirt at some point. Men and women are equal, just one grows more hair in some places and less in others.

[Kas19]

Nope. My boyfriend let me experiment with makeup on him and he liked it. It wouldn't have an issue with my son wanting to wear makeup.

[JulieLamar]

Why did you put makeup on your boyfriend?

[Kas19]

Why not?

[JulieLamar]

it's weird and it's even weirder that he is liking it, are you sure he's straight, has he been wearing makeup regularly since?

[Kas19]

He's not straight. We are both bisexual. Most straight men (not all) consider makeup too feminine to wear.

No he doesn't! He just likes to experiment with it occasionally. He didn't Doo anything crazy, basically how I do my makeup. We just out some brown eyeshadow under his lower lid, eyeliner on the waterline and filled in his brows. Basically like this https://pin.it/7lRlBe2

[JulieLamar]

Oh ok no problem

[Kas19]

Yeah, I generally don't see why men wearing makeup is an issue. Like I get not wanting to wear it yourself, I just don't get the public freakout.

[JulieLamar]

Yes no problem for me

[IveGotNoName]

There are mean people out there, I don't know if I would feel like he was safe and free from such people. But let's say we're in a safe environment, then no, I wouldn't care at all

[LEXXMIIN]

There's mean people no matter who you are, what you are, what you wear, or where you're from. If you teach them to be respectful an only to cast as much judgment as they would care to be judged then they would be fine.

[IveGotNoName]

They wouldn't though... I've seen it myself

[LEXXMIIN]

It's more accepted now then ever!

[LEXXMIIN]

Its ok to be gay bi dress in the opposite genders clothes. Fashion is so mixed now as well. If that's how someone is what ever. Do you not watch tv, Hulu, Netflix

[LEXXMIIN]

There are gays and lesbians in almost every show at least one. No one really cares

[LEXXMIIN]

People should just be themselves instead of being told who to be. Even as children, let's them like what they want encourage them positives in their interest. They will grow much quicker find them selves thus being happier

[IveGotNoName]

You haven't grown up in the same environment I have.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

For me, I would need to hear his reasons, if he's just doing random stuff then I need to try to talk him out of it, if he is really happy and does understand what he's doing it'll be my turn to face reality, I don't own his life, he does.

[MountAverage]

Same as with a daughter: Child - depends. Teenager - no problem.

Some of you assholes would prefer your son become a heroin junkie over wearing make up. Disgusting pieces of shit.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Things are different nowadays & when it comes to people they can do whatever they want. Guys nowadays want their own jugs & tacos & girls want their own sausages so to each is own.

[AmourHoney]

No I wouldn’t. If it’s something he enjoys then good for him, I’d support him.

[Adam1978]

I would have to have a talk with him before I accept his stand on having makeup. I am simply against makeup in general and men do not need it unless they are doing a female role in theather or so.

[Neko911]

Naw. If he wants to then go ahead. Why should I care? If it makes my kid happy then it makes him happy. Makeup doesn't hurt anyone so

[Anonymous]

Funny how people show more hate towards homosexual men/men with make up but dont show that much hate towards sexual harrasser/rapists.

[Asker]

Where do you live? Because rapists get a lot of hate in America.

[Opinion Owner]

No man. People show more hate towards homos than rapists even in Europe. Dont you realize the homophobic comments under your question. People even victim blame women rather blaming the rapists.

[Opinion Owner]

I even see so many comments by americans how they victim blame and defend cat-calling/harrassment

[Opinion Owner]

Homophobia is still big deal in america

[Opinion Owner]

Sorry for replying so much. I even see how many americans think rape in marriage is ok

[Asker]

I don’t think it’s as simple as you are making it seem. Most people who dislike homophobia don’t want them to actually die. They think of them having some type of mental disorder. Most people actually want rapists to die. That is real hate. I think what you mean is that they talk about their dislike of homosexuality more.

[Asker]

So I understand what you are saying it’s a good point.

[Opinion Owner]

I dont know. I ask questions about rape in marriage. Many americans think rape in marriage ain't rape for them.

[Opinion Owner]

Majority of americans are very conservative and religious

[Opinion Owner]

I mean i can't generalize, of course. But if the majority of a population is conservative and religious according to statistics they tend to be backwarded. I am from a conservative, religious and traditional country and majority of them were backwarded. Of course not all conservative and religioous people are like thar but homosexuality is sin in many big religions and there is no consent when it comes to sex in marriage, which is rape, in religions.

[Opinion Owner]

" I think what you mean is that they talk about their dislike of homosexuality more." Omg yes this is actually what i mean

[hahahmm]

It's not about emotion for me. It's about the principles I know are important for me to pass down to future generations. A son who wants to be a girl in my home is in the wrong home. He can go live with somebody else or follow the rules of my home.

[johnsmithjs]

You are a idiot, rapists are murdered in prison and faggots are just forced to suck cock or take it up the ass. You are stupid! No-one likes a rapist.

[Opinion Owner]

@johnsmths I love how fags under my post dont get my post. Go read my other posts under my first post, you fool. Stfu. Rapists dont get killed wtf. Same people like you dont have a problem with victim blaming rape victims, piece of shit. The commentsection prove my point. People show their dislike towards homosexual more fucktard. You idiots can't even read and understand a shit without getting triggered aka get butthurt, piece of shit I will block anyone who insult me, fag

[Opinion Owner]

@hahahamm i agree to disagree thank you that you dont insult at least

[Opinion Owner]

@johnsmithjs i have make a lot questions about rape. Many people dont see rape in marriage as rape, blame women if they wear non modest clothes etc. The whole comments section prove my point. People talk about their dislike towards homosexual men more rather than rapists, cat-callers etc. If you are blind to see that, then that is your problem.

[Opinion Owner]

Look i dont want to continue any conversation. What i mean is that people talk about their dislike about homosexual people more than rapists. Comment section prove my point. You can agree to disagree, dislike and then f off. Stop spamming me, otherwise i will delete you😉

[LEXXMIIN]

Nobody seems to have a problem with all of their favorite actors wearing makeup. All the pretty boys in magazines.

[Opinion Owner]

Whatever. I dont understand why people are so triggered over adult men wearing make up

[LEXXMIIN]

I concur

[Opinion Owner]

I will report any violent opinion. Please do it too. It was kinda shocking to me to see so many agressive posts

[Anon621]

No of course not. It's his life and his choices and if he wanted makeup I would try to buy it for him until he could afford his own makeup.

[Virgo31]

No, I mean I don’t like beauty products because of what’s in them but if he wants to, he can go ahead and wear it.

[John_Doesnt]

If it's girl makeup then I'm concerned, but if he wants to be a goth or metal head that's fine.
Remember, talent shows are for fags.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Po8NVV9FLNU

[Aimée__LJ]

Nope, I'll even teach him how to do it and put it on him if he wants to.

[Anonymous]

Honestly I wouldn't be happy about it, tbh I've never really liked makeup in general even on females but back to this, if my son wanted to do it and it made him happy then I'd let him but I'd also explain to him that it could lead to a path of hurt as people out there just don't accept this type of thing.

Whatever my son or child in general chooses to be ill let them be even if I'm not comfortable with it because all I would want is for them to be happy

[rosemilk]

No. There's a lot worse things he could be getting into 🌸

[Anonymous]

I think it’s pretty weird we’re allowing genders do things specifically for genders. I mean what next are guys going to take the pill 💊 as birth control method? When I look at a woman, I want to say “yes, that’s a woman”, make up on, the clothes she’s wearing, etc.

[SlavBoi]

Yes of course I'd care. No mental illnesses history in my family so far. I wouldn't want to be my son in particular to start with this bullshit

[Goddess_Lexii]

A man can do a lot of feminine things and still be a man, but that is crossing the line.

[TruthBringer]

Wrong, a man who induldges in feminine behavior is not truly a man and will not be perceived as such. Such a man will also have a hard time finding a mate.

[Goddess_Lexii]

Wrong? 🤣 My husband loves to cook, clean, garden, bake, and he’ll even massage my feet. All things that are typically considered feminine behavior. He’s very masculine, and secure with his manhood. As his “mate”, I can assure you that I am not wrong.

[TruthBringer]

Those aren't truly feminine traits as these are mandatory things to keep one healthy. Plenty of men who are single and live alone have to cook and clean (gardening is often seen as something men do). Masassing feet isn't truly assigned to a gender either considering that's what you do to take care of your partner. I do it to my care and she does it to me. Truly feminine traits are not leading the relationship, wearing makeup as a man, being easily intimidated, constantly complaining, crying etc.

[gotc147]

How old is he? If he's under 10 then it's just harmless kid stuff, if they're pre-teen or teen then it's a sign of mental issues.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, I used to know a few guys that were inn a band that still wore it off stage. A couple of them have died since then, one, a few weeks ago. :-( So much for Trash Vegas!!

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, but only because it smells bad and is usually toxic (I hate makeup in general on anyone) if he found a brand that didn't smell and wasn't full of poisons or heavy metals, I wouldn't care.

[josephinelcajon]

It is a new age that make up nail polish even dress up doesn't mean sexuality so yes let him explore everything

[Alyssa11]

I wouldn’t like it. I said what I said.

[Shihab91]

How dare you... Nvm 😂😂

[Alyssa11]

Loool wait why

[Shihab91]

just joking because you said " i said what i said "

[Alyssa11]

Oh looool

[AdithyaR]

It's totally fine, let him do what makes him happy.

[AdithyaR]

And I'm hoping that all the people who are saying no or that they'd disown or beat their son for this, I hope they never have kids.

[bamesjond0069]

Id throw that shit out and then beat his ass and then drop him off in the middle of the woods and make him survive for a few days before he could come home.

[Fuentes]

Make him a man again that's right!

[Farah_luna]

Ngl that would push him further away from you so it would have the opposite effect than what you want

[bamesjond0069]

@Farah_luna thats fine. I dont need him close. If he wants anything to do with me he cannot do that. He needs to be out of my life for him to do faggotry shit. 100%. Thats the only chance he would ever stop tbh. If you accept it then it will never end. And if it never ends you need to cut the bad to keep the good before it infects the other children.

[Farah_luna]

Lmaooooo

[Farah_luna]

Faggotry, dead

[TruthBringer]

Yup, this is what they do in the military and for good reason too.

[VIVANT]

what’s the suicide rate of vets? Highest of any group. Bangin’ teaching the youth how to survive in the world. .

[VIVANT]

Also beating & abandoning your kid to the wild is pretty much going to lose you your parental rights anyhow... May as well just not have kids.

MAKE UP > VIOLENCE

[bamesjond0069]

@VIVANT? Wym

[VIVANT]

I meant make up is greater then violence. If it turned out your kid liked make up & you try to beat it out of him that will harm him
& damage him forever.. Make up will only make you uncomfortable. Parents are meant to be advocates for their children’s rights. Children have the right to live free from abuse. Mental and physical... Also once you attack a person for who they are you can't control the consequences. This csn affect society not just you snd your Son. we have to respect each other to maintain respect. People who feel dehumanized can lash out at themselves or the population. There’s no way of knowing. There are so many problems and ramifications of using violent power over someone who is still developing- aside from it being cruel. that in itself should be a deterrent. I know parents can think they mean well but violence is violence and we can disagree with how we view it personally, but statistically violative in childhood is bad news in adulthood. Depression, addiction alcoholism , drugs, sex, , obesity, eating disorders, rape —victim or perpetrator, crime, suicide,

Look plenty of parents don’t allow make up fair enough but don’t try to beat personality out of your kid. its a monstrous act and it creates monsters. We have enough of those in the world already. Figure out another way to deal with your differences. Your kid will be an adult one day and you will have no control at that point. build respect for self and others while their is time. That’s my two cents.

[bamesjond0069]

@VIVANT no. Violence is very important when raising sons especially but daughters too to a degree. There are literally kids breaking the family tv or doing drugs or stealing money... the parents say "oh little johnny dont do that, but we dont spank in this house so just know its wrong what you did" that does not work. You need to kick their fucking ass and take all their shit from them one way or another until they play by the rules... and if they won't accept the punishment then they need to be tossed out on their ass with nothing. This strategy has worked for thousands of years... as evidenced by society today and all the anti spanking bullshit... that is not working at all. Not even close. What do you think happened to boys who wanted to wear makeup in the early 1900s? They didn't wear it nor did they even mention they would want to wear it because they knew they would get beat. And that was that.

Agreed man!!

[SmokinAces2000]

No, but I would sit him down and tell him the sad reality of society today and the ridicule he may face if he so chooses to wear makeup and if he still wants to I’ll buy him whatever makeup he wants because why not, It’s not bothering me any how

[yourbabygirl921]

Heck no! I'll talk to him about it and bring him to church

[Sweetener_]

Yes I would care. We'll fast and pray if he tries that nonsense.

[Fuentes]

No son of mine will be wearing make up. im not raising no damn NANCY's in my household

[cth96190]

The lad would be taken on a trip to therapy, the type that involves electrodes.

[Éhmîë]

Depending on the parents' decision. As 4 me, no go area. Lol

[Jxrdyn_13]

No not at all, let him be who he wants to be. But take it off at night and do skincare, we need to keep it smooth as a baby

[Qdbrown]

I would care and there would be no man makeup at my house.

Girlie guys bad.

[potatoooo]

Nah. But, the only thing I'd worry about is his skin. Makeup has too much chemical for a baby skin. It might damage the skin so in that case yeah. But, for the other stuff I'd just let him be.

[NotARobberYet]

I really doubt that his mother would be okay with that to begin with.

[NorthwestRider]

Sure why not, I am not a triggered snowflake

Plus real Men are not afraid to wear makeup

[Silas_153]

"Real men are not afraid to wear makeup" - What does that even mean? That if you don't want to look like a woman or a clown you're not a man?

[EternallyCorrect]

@Silas_153

It means that real men do feminine things, because their masculinity is not fragile.

Which means that masculinity = femininity.

Words don't mean things to these people, nothing they say makes any sense.

[NorthwestRider]

@Silas_153 Real Men are secure and do not give a fuck what other people think

[AdithyaR]

Finally, someone with sense! You sir are awesome!

[Silas_153]

What an utterly ridiculous comment. And watch that filthy mouth of yours.

[NorthwestRider]

@Silas_153 Are you triggered 😂

[Silas_153]

Triggered? I don't know what you mean.

[NorthwestRider]

@Silas_153 That means snowflake

[Silas_153]

I like it when it snows :)

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Another "real man" strawman argument. Anyone can also see a real men don't wear makeup. Real man have muscles and real men have sharp jawline also because they are not afraid to work out. So do you realize how you sound?

[amaguqe]

In my country, makeup is not allowed in the elementary and high schools, regardless of gender. I wouldn't like if my child relies on make-up for the sense of self-worth and self-expression

[Paul09]

Yes. Because I don't like makeup on anyone, no matter the sex. Just looks so odd. Like why? Why spends hundreds on painting your face? Can't you wait for Halloween or a special event lol?

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

I wouldn't have any issue with it, because if he was doing this to express his real personality traits I am in complete support.
