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.
@Aworld: AARG Normally I’d say F*** YES the game is worth it.
Around this crowd, though, I feel the need for a slight warning.
Minsc is a recruitable character. He’s a ranger, a berserker, and the strongest character in the game (he’s got something like Str 18/95*), and he is delusional. He carries a hamster named Boo, who is a normal hamster, but Minsc thinks it’s a “miniature giant space hamster” and speaks to it, and believes it speaks to him. The game makes light of Minsc’s condition, hinting he took one too many blows to the head, but doesn’t treat him as stupid, more like a cloudcuckoolander, prone to whimsical expressions. I didn’t ever think that his capacity to go berserk stemmed from his injuries.
There’s another character, Xzar, who’s chaotic evil and much less stable than Minsc.
So I’d recommend the game, with a caveat that it’s not the best at representing mental illness.
*Yes, it uses 2nd Edition AD&D rules.
I was going to ask how the Enhanced Edition was, but then I read the rest of your comment.
My system is puny, but it can run original BG. Does the Enhanced Edition take a cutting-edge game machine?
::wags finger::
You’re doing it again, young Falconer!
😉
Some select Minsc quotes from both games, so people can have a taste-test.
@Kittehs’: Taking over active threads with game talk? Who, me?
I don’t think we can conclusively say Darth Vader was not wearing that mask to troll for hot guys.
Well, my computer is… I don’t know, 6, 7 years old and wasn’t particularly cutting edge even when it was new. I had to update my graphics drivers to run EE, but aside from that I haven’t had any problems.
“My mum referred to makeup as war paint. ”
I have this in common with your mom. I love putting it on, it’s fun to me. But after all, I was raised by a stylist. If it happens to scare these tools into thinking I’m *snicker* Darth Vader…well, wheeeeeeeeeee!
so basically when i smear foundation on to cover up all the random red patches that appear on my face for no good reason or doodle in my eyebrows to make up for the little bald spot i’m putting on this big deceptive mask to get those no-good men all riled up and horny over my painted face just so i can rip out their puny man hearts and chew them up like bubblegum
well OK, that’s fine, but i will take this argument and use it against any man who uses a gynecomastia vest or dabs on his girlfriend’s concealer when he has a big gross zit or something. actually i’ll take it to MRA level and say any man who wears flattering clothes or cosmetics to hide a physical imperfection or tailor his appearance to his liking is Darth Vader. every man who has ever worn a loose shirt to hide a weight problem or worn a combover hairstyle is a no good lying Jezebel and should prob. be thrown onto a pyre of ratty old hair as punishment
I didn’t get clowns growing up either……
I wear makeup alone in my house. I put on makeup when I have too much free time. Just like I wear sexy and lacy panty and bra sets. Not for THE MENZ, but for myself. I’ll be honest other women pay far more attention to my panties/bra/makeup than men do.
My makeup is for me. And when I put lipstick/lip gloss on it usually makes my lips less red (I have fairly red lips and people ask what color lipstick I’m wearing and don’t believe me when I say none…same with mascara).
I am sick of guys assuming that my actions have anything to do with them. Frankly, most of my effort is because I want to look nice for my best gal pal. I wear a different outfit every-time I see her….Not joking. No repeating. I have an insane amount of clothes (Value village, goodwill and ross have cheap cute things).
When I go into stressful situations I wear makeup. Since I know my makeup will run if I cry it helps.
I can hold myself together as long as I wear it.
That is pretty much the core assumption that MRAs and other narcissists have gotten wrong. All the rest of the madness flows from their conviction that they are the protagonist in everyone elses life story.
I was responding to cherabushka.
Mindboggling what they think. if they think… Good find, and have a nice day.
“I’m tempted to start calling them octopuppies as a protest against pedantry.”
Works for me 🙂
Though I also thought we were going with sea beasties?
Shut up, DLColvin.
And if you really think that we would waste time finding out anything about to… what was it? smear you, you are mistaken. We’ve had a much higher quality of trolls and are generally not down with doxxing, so take your persecution complex elsewhere.
I don’t think we can conclusively say Darth Vader was not wearing that mask to troll for hot guys.
He totally had a thing or bounty hunters. Why won’t Sithlords ever go for the nice guys?
On the animal predators thing, I was mostly thinking of bright colors being part of the predator part rather than deterring the animal’s own predators. I’m sure there are some examples where I’m wrong, I just couldn’t come up with one off the top of my head.
There’s also the fact that the OP hasn’t stopped to consider maybe women wearing face paint is *also* intended to be a terrible warning to any man considering messing with her, just like male warriors. Of course, this douchecanoe is so wrong about everything that doesn’t make the top 10 list.
This bit was also quite precious:
Because that’s what this is about. Men’s God-given right to judge the worth of female objects based on their boner reactions, and the horrible miscarriage of justice it is that women do anything at all to interfere with their judgments. Never mind that most of the things women do that would interfere are culturally imposed practices demanded of women by men in order to be acceptable to be seen in public, etc.
The cognitive dissonance of these people makes my brain hurt.
It’s been said to me (and to others) that an asexual person shouldn’t wear makeup and has no reason to. Because the only purpose of makeup is to mimic arousal, and if you are asexual and mimicking arousal, that’s just false advertising (and we all know what happens next).
But I’m not sure what of my foundation, powder, eye shadow and mascara is simulating arousal. I don’t wear blush or lipstick (chapstick is a sometimes). I’m one of those “I don’t think you wear makeup” folks, too. Because these jet-black eyelids? Totes natural.
(I started wearing a gothy eye because of severe scarring on my eyelids in my teens. Worn it ever since. School, work, job interviews, everything. Every day. To not wear it makes me feel like I’m not myself. Which is why I wear it to interviews, too. I don’t want someone to hire me and then wonder why I have all this black shit on my eyes. But no one seems to care one way or the other …)
I have no doubt that if every woman suddenly decided to stop wearing make-up they’d suddenly start complaining about how women are terrible lazy slobs who refuse to put on make-up just because they want to gross out men. They’d probably declare splotchy skin and acne to be yet another form of misandry.
I find it rather odd that some human females believe that transsexual males would know anything about putting on makeup. I communicate telepathically with them and they do indeed have male brains despite a female body. Perhaps your kind should put more r&d into brain swapping so they can be their their
true selves.
I rather think human females look good in makeup! How strange the straight males seem to object so vociferously. Its usually the feminist males who hate it since they condemn heterosexuality to appease disgruntled hetero females!
Have I missed something? What’s this referring to?
False advertising? Srsly? Women are walking billboards to these doodz?
Criminy!
Bewilderness, we’re merchandise. I bought a frozen pizza the other day that turned out to be two inches smaller than the box it came in. Wearing makeup is just like that.
If I’m a billboard, the makeup companies should be paying ME to use my advertising space!
I carefully spackle myself with 2 inches of makeup every morning before I leave for work. My makeup budget is enormous.
