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.
Ninja’d!
@kiki – somehow I don’t think people like Emilie du Chatelet or Samuel Johnson or Mary Wollstonecroft or David Hume or Judith Sargeant or Denis Diderot would agree … these guys are more like “the eighteenth century minds the Enlightenment left behind”! 😀
Is that an evil New Age panda that uses scented fucking candles?
Baldur’s Gate?
One of these weapons is a wyman’s make-up.
I went to elementary school with a whole family of kids named Wyman, and not one of them busted out a lipstick in even one round of playground “cops and robbers.”
@Kitteh’s Unpaid Help
I… I don’t use scented candles, fucking or no. 🙁 [/confessions]
Does my regarding of cattens as cute let me have a beanbag in the Misandrist Clubhouse?
Is this what he means by a Wyman’s makeup?
First time commented but been reading for a couple of month now. I have long felt some guilt over being a feminist and selling Avon/the beauty myth. BUT NO MORE! I sell cheap, but high quality war paint: our first and often overlooked weapon in the war on men. I feel so much better now.
I wonder what Womanhater thinks of the fact that I wear blue, brown, purple, and gold lipcolor, and rarely wear lipcolor in the shade of Arousal Red.
CWS – neither do I. I’m a bit paranoid about candles because all the ones we get here are made in China and they have a history of putting lead in the wicks. I guess we’ll just have to go sit in the corner of shame together.
But with the cattens. 😉
Just an interlude this time.
katz, I love it! <3 <3 <3
Just wait ’til they find male-to-female makeup videos.
Pierre!
Also, more on the rise of the sexbots.
Lord, WHY did I bother looking at anything on reddit.
@cloudiah.
I’m beginning to realize that indeed banishment from reddit may have been a blessing. The place really is a shithole.
Oh god, there’s more back-pedalling than at the annual Reverse Unicycle Marathon.
Actually, here’s a pretty good summing up of Hannah Rosin’s AMA on Reddit:
http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/the_chat_room/2013/01/hanna_rosin_reddit_ama_the_end_of_men_author_takes_reddit_s_questions.single.html
Yeah, that was the game I was thinking of. Confession: I don’t really think Baldur’s Gate is pretentious.
Don’t ask me about Nietsche.In fact, I still play it from time to time (never have beaten BG2).@Falconer
I’m considering getting Baldurs Gate off of GOG, is it worth it?
Nietzsche?
–MGTOWers don’t care what you do, because we are finished with women. That’s what we’re MGTOWers. Tata ladies, you’ve pushed u s past caring!–
–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–
so you’re a MGTOWer because you dont care about women anymore, except that you do. and i don’t know how accurate it is to call yourselves “men going their own way” if you have all these plentiful women “standing shoulder to shoulder” with you.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s pretentious either, in fact the only reason I made that connection is because I’ve been playing the Enhanced Edition non-stop for the past few weeks.
And as for Nietzsche… I’ll make no judgement on whether the man himself was pretentious, but a lot of the people who quote him certainly are.
reddit has some nice photo comms. Also some decent comms about photography.
That’s about the limit of merit I’ve found.
My mum referred to makeup as war paint. In the fifties, bucking rivets at Boeing.
Made perfect sense to me. The only time she wore it was going to work or out in the evening.
We are all delicious butterflies mimicking the not delicious butterflies for purposes of war making against men going their own way.
This thread is delightful!
Jeez, what an idiot.
Vader wears a mask primarily because of the severe injuries he suffered on mustafar, and thus needs it to stay alive, not because he’s trying to pick up men (I may have misunderstood). Also it looks badass.
