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.
In what thread were we discussing heels and men? Because I’ve lost that thread, and this one is about make-up, I’m streeeeeeeeeeetching the topic to include clothing and linking this video on the history of heels. The link works in NZ, so I figure others in countries outside of the UK will be able to catch it as well:

Burning questions! What about genderqueer people feeling femme and wearing makeup? I assume that’s EBIL, but to what degree? These guys seem the sort to get dangerous if they discover that under the attractive make-up there’s a penis-haver (versus assholeish at vagina-havers)
And stage make-up?! Holy shit batman, in normal lighting that shit looks clownish (I must find those pictures…)
Make-up that isn’t purely cosmetic, eg the rosacea cover mentioned above, or similar coverup? Dermablend? (That’s the incredibly thick nearly magic concealer)
Also, hi Cassie, yes I’m still mad that you attribute all the above questions to classism.
Oh Fatrelle. Two comments, and still not worthy of notice.
Also, if the man going his own way doesn’t care, then why the hell is he ranting on about women? He’s gone his own way! Please, if only he would just GO! Why should he CARE if people are wearing makeup or not?
Better hope that none of the guys making the rather oppressive demand that women not do things that raise their self esteem are working class, huh, Cassie?
Well obviously the only women who are worth anything are the ones who are naturally beautiful without needing to do anything at all.
Kim — nawh, they’re stuck up after being rewarded for existing, there was a thread on exactly that not long ago (Facebook liked make women stuck up? That thread)
Some of us like to self decorate (maybe most of us). Why shouldn’t anyone do so, if that’s what they want? I wish more men would, actually. And…isn’t that sort of what tattoos are, just permanent?
Wait. My aunt has tattooed makeup. Does this make her, like, permanently evil or something? Or does that make her face natural because no matter how she washes it, she will still have the makeup?
Man, these men go their own way the same way that barnacles go their own way.
I think that if they really did go their own way, they’d have nothing to complain about.
Can they please go to MRA island, or MRA land or something? I’ve already offered to help with the paperwork, since they loathe bureaucracy.
They just hate women with self esteem, don’t they?
RE: Falconer
Also, I actually found that guy with the hamster oddly endearing. I mean, if he’s competent at what he does, I find him kinda refreshing. That’s just me though, and running purely on that image and the sound clip you gave.
Hmm… upon closer inspection, the “barnacle” simile is more appropriate than I originally expected it to be…

^ There are more than a few jokes in here, but I’m too tired to make ’em. Enjoy! =)
… but I LOVE makeup! I love doing the whole vintage red lipstick thing and coloring in my eyebrows so I look like a 1940s femme fatale. Usually though, I walk around with a bare face, because I am LAZY. Both of those faces are my face, cosmetically altered for my own personal enjoyment; it’s no different from a man growing or shaving his facial hair.
… Short version: dudes, it’s not about you.
Also, @FlyingSpaghettiMonster- You besmirch the name of His Noodliness. Besmirch, I say!
BESMIIIIIIIRCH
From what I understand, applying makeup takes skill and maybe some artistry. If you employ your own skill in applying makeup, how is that not part of you?
Lol, I don’t like to wear make up, but sometimes when I hear shit like this, I want to wear make up ironically to make a statement. Maybe I’ll make a bandit mask out of eye shadow.
This shit makes me want to go put on full goth eye makeup and walk out the door looking like a lemur, just to annoy these guys.
“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.”
Here I am, thinking that a dangly bit swapper would be lovely, completely and blissfully ignorant to the sort of bullshit that could be used to support the idea.
Hey FSM? All you had to say was that which had already been implied — trans* men, by and large, have no more a clue about makeup than cis men. But no, you pulled out something about telepathy and “your kind” and made me (and it seems others here as well) go WHUUT?
Then again, human females? As opposed to what sort of females? Martian ones? You aren’t ABNOY are you?
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.
Apparently the knowledge of how to apply make-up resides in the vagina? It’s not a skill that can be learned or anything.
I mean, dude, just because you think with your dangly bits…
Why shouldn’t women want their lips to look like vaginas (although if they do, I do hope they consider a brazilian)? After all, these chaps are doing their utmost to paint their entire heads as a giant penis
oh lord.
dude sounds like the dad in Cheaper By The Dozen!
“Next thing you know you’ll be wanting to paint!”
daughter: “Oh daddy, everyone uses makeup nowadays! They don’t call it ‘painting’ anymore!”
and then later said dad gets all suspicious because one of the daughters comes in for dinner and her cheeks are flushed on account of playing outside since obviously she must have used makeup! but then he eats his words when she washes her face in front of him and proves him wrong.
but fuck. if Frank Gilbreth Jr. can get over makeup use in the 1920s then these dudes can damn well suck it up.
