Would a world without makeup be more fair and reduce gender tension?

[Anonymous]

Makeup leads to a lot of problems (not exclusively of course) through sexual attraction (harassment, stalking, jealousy, disputes, cheating, insecurity, etc.). Those problems lead to even more problems like domestic violence and other life-threatening crime. And the benefits are superficial and temporary.

In the middle of thinking about this for some years, interestingly I found out The Book of Enoch (part of the Ethiopian Bible) says fallen angels taught humans forbidden knowledge to corrupt us such as, “(how) to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.”

(It mentions fashion and jewelry too but I just want to talk about makeup for now)

Which made me wonder; what would the world be like if makeup didn’t exist even as a concept to us? Would it be better? More fair? Would we have less tension between the sexes? I suspect it would drastically reduce the problems mentioned above. And is it worth keeping as a thing we know and do?

A world without makeup wouldn’t magically make things fairer or safer. Makeup amplifies attraction, but harassment, jealousy, and violence come from power, sexism, entitlement, and poor emotional skills, not mascara. People compete using whatever is available: clothes, status, money, filters, muscles, charisma. Remove makeup and those same dynamics just shift.

Makeup can harm when tied to pressure or insecurity, but it also gives many people joy, creativity, identity, and confidence. The real solution is consent education, equality, and emotional maturity, not banning eyeliner 💄

The idea that makeup leads to abuse makes no sense unless you are saying that if women were uglier and looked less feminine, guys would leave them alone.

What's wrong with women looking pretty?

Unless they are very young, women look better with a bit of makeup. It makes them look softer, glowing, and more feminine. It sets them apart from men.

But subtle makeup is best. Gaudy makeup can be grotesque.

Pretty clothes and accessories look great on. women, too.

Arguing against makeup is like arguing against women shaving their bodies. But who is opposed to women having silky-smooth skin in contrast to men?

I, personally, appreciate the things women do to be soft and feminine.

way easier to just send inadequate people to their own island... where they would not have to freak out over makeup, or anything else likely...

Don't know. Don't care. if a woman gets skin bad looking enough to make me want to cheat then i would inject regenerative peptides into her that i bought from china, it makes any body part have skin sexier than any make up makes.

I don’t know if it causes all that but it definitely can be misleading
