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.
Kartusch Snake: I could see Urban Decay, NYX, or MAC going with that campaign.
::sporfle::
I wonder how this maroon would have coped with the sort of makeup they wore (men and women) in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? We’re talking white faces and vermillion cheeks and lips here.
Do you think they’ve ever seen actual sexual arousal on a real live in person woman? I don’t think these guys have spent significant time with any woman but their mommies.
Anathema: it’s safe to say that they’ve never been around aroused females, so who knows?
Anathema – given how little the MGTOWifonlytheywould mob know about women’s bodies, they probably do think our bits sparkle when we’re aroused.
And of course all those women only run marathons so they’ll end up all flushed and deceitfully make the poor menz think they’re lusting after them!
Ninja’d twice over!
Urgh, Argenti and Pecunium had that out on the other thread, I’m starting to develop an aversion to the mere sight of the word.
Hellcat: MAC especially. It could work for Revlon though, pulling on their old hollywood roots with Noir tones. I figure an atempt by them to *re-energize* the brand and compete for the youth market,blah blah blah.
Is he talking about vajazzling?
I know, seriously.
titianblue: “Is he talking about vajazzling?”
Where’s the damn “Like” button??!
Does anyone remember the “women only paint their nails to trick men into thinking their hands are clean” guy?
I’m tempted to start calling them octopuppies as a protest against pedantry.
So if I wear black nail polish it’s to trick men into thinking that I’ve been working in the garden?
@ Kitteh, I wish my snake would take note of that…it is a total wimp.
I only sprint after the bus so I can deceive all the men on board into thinking I am aroused.
Same goes for going outside when it is very cold or hot. Or sitting too close to the radiator.
My sparkly silver eyeshadow only completes the illusion.
I’ve got some green lipstick somewhere. That is like the nuke in my makeup arsenal.
Octopuppies? Like sea kittens?
Red nail polish – a woman is subtly signalling her intention to murder men to other women so that we can plan to cover or her.
Green nail polish – she’s an alien.
The only reason I developed rosacea is to make men think I was constantly slightly aroused. Kittehs’ knows what I’m talking about. [waves at fellow rosacea-head]
I think the only clowns I’ve ever found funny were the Cirque de Soleil ones, if only because they had just the right blend of narrative, slapstick, and choreography to match the rest of the show, while providing a sense of comic relief amongst the dramatic tension of the rest of the story.
Love the nostalgic yearning for the sexual mores of 1766. MRAs, the finest minds of the 18th century.
::waves at cloudiah::
I wouldn’t put it past this dumbass to think exactly that! “Oh, she’s all flushed, SHE WANTS ME!”
@Monster – LOL I’m now imagining a snake in a dress and talking in a Jack Lemmon voice.
I thought we decided they were Sea Beasties?
Wait wait wait wait. I don’t wear makeup because I hatehatehate it (it feels like glue hanging off the face) and because I also look like a MonsterDemonClown because I am incompetent at putting it on. Unless I wear purple eyeshadow, then I look like a MonsterDemonClownLavenderPanda.
Have I failed at Misandry? 🙁 :'(
Like someone said on the other thread, if David ever puts the fringed flag back up, we’ll have to start calling ’em Sea Beasties.
We have to settle for awarding Internets here.
I think that is an excellent idea.
