On MGTOWforums.com, Marcus20 offers a dire warning for all of his fellow Men Going Their Own Way who may not yet be Going Their Own Way thoroughly enough.
This is a gender war. Some men donβt know there’s a war. But almost every man feels something is wrong.
Some men who know thereβs a gender war havenβt identified all of the weapons that are being arrayed against them.
One of these weapons is a wymanβs make-up.
Make-up is an unconventional weapon, and itβs often unrecognized as a threat.
Thatβs right, fellas. These women will stop at nothing to deceive and control you. Even if that means resorting to (gasp!) eye shadow.
WAKE UP to the MAKEUP!
[I]magine, if you please, a man with his face covered in war paint. Consider the men at the end of Apocalypse Now. Consider the warriors of the Sioux, the warriors in African tribes. Consider modern American soldiers.
Why do warriors wear face paint? The reason isnβt only camouflage. There is a psychological component to the mask.
You see paint on a manβs face– and you immediately and correctly identify him as a threat. But put the same paint on a womanβs face, and your reaction is quite different.
We are so accustomed to seeing women wearing paint that it never strikes us as odd.
Actually, Iβm pretty sure if I saw a woman painted up like the dudes in Apocalypse Now I might give her a second look.
But there used to be widespread opposition to women wearing make-up. In Oliver Goldsmithβs Vicar of Wakefield, published in 1766, the vicar vigorously disapproves of his wife and daughters preparing various washes and powders for their faces. The Bible mentions βpainted Jezebels.β At one time, make-up on a womanβs face signaled to all that she was a prostitute.
Today, make-up is accepted. Ho hum. Nothing to see here . . . The best weapon is one your enemy doesnβt see.
They call it βconcealerβ for a reason! For it conceals the dark and evil heart of the modern woman! Or something.
Imagine an average-looking girl, just reaching adolescence. She puts on make-up– and she is attracting the attention of boys, when she wasnβt before. It takes her but a moment to realize they are attracted not to her–whoever she is, she doesnβt know herself– but to her paint.
She concludes that men are attracted by paint. It immediately, and from the beginning of her sexual interactions with men, makes her relations with the opposite sex less real. She is always aware that the paint on her face is manipulating him.
Yeah, Iβm pretty sure that βpaintβ doesnβt have much to do with any of this. I think it might just happen to have something to do with the flood of hormones coursing through the bodies of adolescent boys.
Day after day, for years, for decades, she paints herself as if she is a thing: and she becomes soulless.
That also happens if she puts on cute outfits. If you stare too long at a cute outfit, the cute outfit stares back at you!
The more you think about this, the more you realize that this is terrifying. Imagine if you — a man — painted your face everyday and presented that face to the world as if itβs yours. Immediately, you will feel disassociated from yourself. Immediately: scheming, lying, deceit become easier. Even murder becomes easier.
Er, what?
Roughly 90% of murders are committed by men, and Iβm pretty sure very few of them are wearing makeup at the time.
Villains wear masks. Wearing a mask makes it easier to do evil. Darth Vader and even your typical bank robber . . .
The mask allows a woman to act out her evil impulses while telling herself the lie that she herself isnβt doing it.
That’s right. You start by putting on a little lipstick and mascara, and the next thing you know you’re destroying peaceful planets with your Death Star.
It is absurd for a man to allow himself to be attracted by paint.
Better to be repulsed by women who wear make-up. To see them as clowns. To see them as strange masks. To see the mask as the truth of what she has become, after a decade of painting her face: a lie that she wears everyday. Because after years of wearing a mask, you become it.
The same thing happens with other things you wear. After years of wearing underwear, you become underwear! After years of wearing socks, you become a sock! After years of wearing hats, you become a hat!
My niece, age five, recently attended a make-up party for children her age. She now owns a make-up collection. She is five years old and already wears a mask.
Isnβt there something disturbing about that?
Well, yeah, but not for the reason you think.
Look at youtube. There are videos that have millions of views — all about eleven year old girls who use massive amounts of make-up (and time) to make themselves look like Barbie or a doll or a cartoon character.
(And women still tell me: βJust wait — youβll find someone who shares your interests.β What?)
Actually, Iβm pretty sure you wonβt find a woman who shares your interests, dude, given that one of your interests is writing posts about how wearing makeup turns women into Darth Vader.
Today we have girls, age five, wearing make-up … I therefore predict an even more soulless horde of wymen in our future.Β β¦
I submit that women would be much less evil if they never wore masks. I submit that women would be much more humble as to their true attractiveness and therefore, less entitled, if they never wore masks. I submit that men would be better able to judge who is really beautiful if women never wore masks. β¦
The first step is to stop being manipulated by paint. Look behind the mask — and the face isnβt there.
Uh, no. Thatβs not reality youβre talking about here. Thatβs the movie Eyes Without a Face.
Naturally, the eminently sensible fellows at MGTOWforums.com applaud Marcus20βs lucid analysis of how makeup turns girls and women into Sith Lords.
βSince everything within a woman is a motherfucking lie, it makes sense that the outside would be as well,β writes the aptly-named Womanhater.
ANY twat who claims to be ‘equal’ and yet wears make-up is a fucking hypocrite! The ENTIRE purpose of makeup is to feign sexual arousal and attraction – red lips, blushed cheeks, etc. all signal men on a subconscious level that the twat is sexually attracted to you. This in turn makes the uninitiated blue-pillers in our ranks turn into putty in their hands. The ONLY reason a twat wears make-up is to have an easier time manipulating you or extracting resources from you. Period. Full stop.
MrWombat, perhaps inspired by neo-Nazi nonsense about “blood in the face,” suggests that clever use of concealer can indeed conceal womenβs essential dishonesty:
Makeup is crucial to being able to lie face-to-face to someone. Normal people blush when they lie, blanch when they have taken an emotional hit. Foundation conceals that, and women consciously feel foundation to be a mask, a disguise, a defense.
I eagerly await Marcus20βs analysis of the Big Lie that is the Wonderbra.
By His Noodlinessβsomeone expurgate this vile impastanator!
Boil the heretic! Cover them in tomato sauce!
….is it wrong of me to find men in well-applied cosmetics totally hawt? I blame growing up a goth.
HOT TOMATO SAUCE! SAUCE FOR THE SAUCE GOD!!!!1oneuno
Ka-CHING!
I read that as WRAPPER.
And started thinking of knitted items.
::slinks to knitting weirdo’s corner of shame::
Hey, fellow rosacea-sufferers: it occurred to me this arvo that by wearing concealing foundation, we are actually doing teh poor menz a favour! After all, if they saw our blushing rosy cheeks, they’d naturally think we were aroused by them, and then be justifiably bereft when we didn’t follow through, which would in turn show what evil bitches we are. Thus: cover the Lying Rosacea Blush and don’t deceive the poor snowflakes!
I too like men in cosmetics, especially eyeliner. Not the Robert Smith lipstick, please, but as long as it looks like the person put the make-up on without smearing it all over their face like a toddler I’m all for it.
I love wearing makeup but Im really bad with it. Also I worry it would get me beat up.
WeeBoy — start small, that is to say, start goth. If dressing like a goth doesn’t get you beat up, adding eyeliner probably won’t be some magical “beat up the goth kid” line. Caveat, I spent lots of time being glad our lockers where too small to put someone in (why yes, I absoluly loved my school days /sarcasm)
Kitteh — dangly bit wrapper?
“Kamilla: Diamonds are completely worthless and dirt fucking cheap. Another example of consumer demand created for a product which, given its abundance, is pretty much a dime a dozen.”
A dime a dozen if you’re either DeBeer’s or looking for teeny tiny diamonds, other wise there a dime (of blood money) a dozen.
More importantly though, who is this Kamilla that you’re addressing? My searching is failing me here.
Also, “another example” implies there’s already been an example, except I can’t find that either.
Female friends can be a useful human shield, too. A lot of my guy friends said that they got less shit about the eyeliner when in a mixed group than when they were alone.
Argenti – I am the least goth person ever. I never wear black, and I favour bright unnatural makeup. I get away with gold eyeliner, but if I could and I had the skill I would be as fabby as a drag queen every day.
Say you’re starting a glam rock band if anyone asks? Idk, closest I come to those things known as colors? Red, maybe some blue-green-ish shadow.
Cassandra’s right though, particularly if you’re in HS — the bullies are less inclined to pick on someone in a group. Sorry I can’t be of more use!
Argenti – LOL!
I doubt they mean the same when they’re talking about ’em being ribbed, though. π
*dies* +1 Internet for that pun
Merci! π
In the late 80s I used to party out with guys who would borrow my black eyeliner to do their eyes and my purple lipstick to do their lips. These guys were cis, they were doing for fashion. Fashions come and go, whatever makes you happy and doesn’t hurt anyone is fine by me. π
WeeBoy if you were in Wellington, I would offer to help you out.
Oooh, I must be a peddler of evil lies. I’m an Avon Lady.
I mean, between the skin care and make-up lines…and I always encourage women to bold face lie to men by covering up their bold faces. Because I’m so evil like that.
Yeaaaaaaaah…right.
Avon spelled backwards is Nova. Which clearly proves you are a human woman borne of hellfire
If women wearing make-up are evil and actors are evil then James Earl Jones must be the most evil of them all. Never mind make-up, he LITERALLY wore a mask which turned him into Darth Vader… and the films he was in have been used to CON money from teh poor menz who buy cinema tickets and merchandise.
^^^ I meant David Prowse there- JEJ just did the voice. Mind you, this probably makes Prowse even more evil, as a man with a West Country accent pretending to speak with The Voice of Doom.
@Stepford Knife, having lived in the West Country and having been made aware of David Prowse as Darth Vader (almost typed Darth Wader…) I lolled in recognition of your comment
Carnival is the most dangerous season of them all.
In the song, the reason diamonds have to be a girl’s best friend is that men only want you for your looks, and looks eventually fade away, so you’d better be smart, don’t sleep with just anyone, and save up their gifts for later, while not taking their affection too seriously. It’s actually very sad. People using it as fodder for ‘women are materialistic’ piss me off on the same level as people who think “‘Lolita’ is about a precociously sexual girl” and “‘Fight Club’ is about how women are awful”.
From what I understand, applying makeup takes skill and maybe some artistry
MRAs only believe in STEM skills (building bridges) and survival skills in government conspiracy times ( hunting mammoths & shooting the shit out of stuff).
Applying makeup skillfully is equivalent to scented fucking candles.
Tell me about it.

On topic, I wear makeup every day. In a personal observation, I’ve found that people who wear foundation every day have skin that ages better (maybe they are more likely to moisturise but foundation provides sun protection which is one of the major ageing causations, especially when you live in Australia).
And I like to wear eyeliner and purple eyeshadow cause it brings out the green in my eyes π
