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 don’t know there’s a war. But almost every man feels something is wrong.
Some men who know there’s a gender war haven’t identified all of the weapons that are being arrayed against them.
One of these weapons is a wyman’s make-up.
Make-up is an unconventional weapon, and it’s often unrecognized as a threat.
That’s 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 isn’t only camouflage. There is a psychological component to the mask.
You see paint on a man’s face– and you immediately and correctly identify him as a threat. But put the same paint on a woman’s face, and your reaction is quite different.
We are so accustomed to seeing women wearing paint that it never strikes us as odd.
Actually, I’m 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 Goldsmith’s 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 “painted Jezebels.” At one time, make-up on a woman’s 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 doesn’t see.
They call it “concealer” 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 wasn’t before. It takes her but a moment to realize they are attracted not to her–whoever she is, she doesn’t 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, I’m pretty sure that “paint” doesn’t 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 it’s 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 I’m 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 isn’t 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.
Isn’t 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: “Just wait — you’ll find someone who shares your interests.” What?)
Actually, I’m pretty sure you won’t 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. …
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. …
The first step is to stop being manipulated by paint. Look behind the mask — and the face isn’t there.
Uh, no. That’s not reality you’re talking about here. That’s the movie Eyes Without a Face.
Naturally, the eminently sensible fellows at MGTOWforums.com applaud Marcus20’s lucid analysis of how makeup turns girls and women into Sith Lords.
“Since everything within a woman is a motherfucking lie, it makes sense that the outside would be as well,” 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 women’s 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 Marcus20’s analysis of the Big Lie that is the Wonderbra.
Maybe clowns were originally only seen from a distance in low light (I’m just assuming here that they pre-date electric lighting), so clown make-up is like stage make-up EXTREME! A good clown is a combination slap-stick comedian/acrobat, and really it’s about what they do, not what they wear or how they look. Jackie Chan for eg could be considered a clown.
I wasn’t afraid of clowns when I was a kid, I just didn’t get them. Like I didn’t understand why they were supposed to be funny. I was a very serious kid.
There are many things I love about the Hong Kong movie scene, but the “oh look someone just dropped a durian on that guy’s head, lol!” scenes are not one of them.
I think I read something similar at the beginning of some pretentious video game sometime….
I thought the point of soldiers wearing camo paint was to AVOID being seen, not some kind is predatory signal. I can’t even think of an animal example where the predator sends out bright, visible signals announcing what they are since that would make it reaaly hard to catch anything. Jesus wept.
Am I the only one who had the shit scared out of him by It as a kid?
Early 19th century clown makeup could be pretty bloody scary too.

Davie, Davie, Davie. You might not have as may women standing behind you, as you think you do. There are plenty of sensible, right-thinking women who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us, against the collective monstrosity that modern women have become.
When animals have bright colors on their bodies they are pretty much for the following reasons:
a) to scare off potential predators (see false “eyes” on the wings of some butterflies)
b) to persuade predators that they are poisonous or taste nasty
c) for communication (for example to signal sexual availability or to show social status within a group)
Predators don’t usually have them, drst, you are right, they are usually colored to blend in. Even predators that appear at first to be “brightly coloured” such as tigers do blend in to their natural habitat.
Long ago in a galaxy far away, I dressed up as a daffodil, complete with super creepy faceless daffodil head/mask.
I then got people, I mean, MEN, to put hard earned money in my bucket.
That was the beginning of Phase 2. After slowly acclimatising the menz to my evil, subtle mask of Benefit and Barry M, I pulled out the big guns and started blending right into the foliage . Looking like a huge sinister flower made it that much easier to make kids cry and extort money from innocent dudes already crippled by the cost of child support, without having to even pop out one baby!
Or something. Women. We aren’t in the trees. We ARE the trees. Flowers. Death Stars. Clowns. I think.
Not to be that person who always contradicts everyone, but kingsnakes?
Lots of things can and will eat a king snake, so I guess they want to look a bit threatening to their predators. See also coral and milk snakes!
RE: katz
I thought king snakes coloring was to give predators confusion over whether they were poisonous or not? Coral snake confusion. And a bunch on the google images search I saw had coloring that wouldn’t be out of place, camouflage-wise.
Snakes, spiders and amphibians are often colourful to show they are dangerous. And then you have other non-dangerous species who imitate them, which is obviously MISANDRY!
And then you have things like cuttlefish and octopus who are camoflagued one minute and brightly coloured the next. They are obviously totally evil.
Dude, its okay, no need to be jealous. If you want to wear makeup, you can!
You think women in makeup are bad, what about…THE MIMIC OCTOPUS?
“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.”
^ Well, that’s a little light-skinned-centric. I am on the border of being just light enough for others to tell when I’ve blushed (if I’m REALLY embarrassed, and they’d have the best luck looking at my ears), but you sure as hell can’t tell when my sister has blushed or has blanched.
Maybe THAT’S why she can’t find drugstore brand make up in her shade, you guyz! =P
Colourful predatory species are not colourful to announce to their prey that they are a predator, rather, to try to deter their own predators from attacking them.
Large predators don’t need to do this because they are big and badass enough to deter or take on most threats.
Small colourful predatory species are misandry because deception! And overestimating their own threateningness. Awful entitled creatures, expecting things to want to eat them less!
Because nobody wears make-up for their own amusement, or because they like to look. It always revolves around your boner.
I would love whatever makeup actualy went with a “Get your DEVIL ON with Revlon” campaign.
* the
Monster, those small predators remind me of Jack Lemmon’s line in Some Like it Hot, when Tony Curtis is menacing him – “I’m small but I’m wiry!”
Come to think of it, a snake that eats other snakes is probably an asshole mangina in MRA terms.
I think that this is my favorite bit:
I mean, yeah, I guess that people might blush when they are sexually aroused. (But someone whose just run a marathon is probably going to have reddened cheeks too.) So I suppose that their might be some instances where some make-up could be used to make someone look like their aroused.
But the idea that making women look sexually aroused is the “ENTIRE purpose” of make-up? Really?
Do they think that women put on sparkly pink lipstick because our lips actually start glittering when we are sexually aroused? Have they ever seen all the different colors of eyeshadow people can buy? Do they think that our eyelids actually turn purple (or blue or gray or brown or green or orange just about any color you care to name) when we’re turned on? Do they think that women wear mascara women’s eyelashes suddenly become longer, thicker, and darker when we’re aroused?
Either they have never so much as walked past the make-up section at their local drugstore or they have some very strange ideas about how sexual arousal works in the female body.
