Ladies, watch out! Men’s Rights Redditor warspite88 is on to you! Your painted faces don’t fool him! Your concealer cannot conceal the truth! He knows your lips aren’t really that red! He knows your eyelids aren’t really that blue!
Yes, that’s right: it’s time for another angry MRA rant explaining to us why women wearing makeup oppresses men, somehow.
In a post with the delightfully over-the-top title “Men’s rights are directly tied to the power of paint and powder. Ill explain,” warspite88 sets forth his theory:
It is my belief that women have become so beautiful through the use of makeup that most women and men are influenced dramatically and view women more as goddess and men as dogs. The power of makeup has helped to fuel a war against men’s basic human rights.
Uh, what?
Lets face it, men are ugly compared to women, right? Many men feel sorry for women or think it is oppressive that so many women wear makeup.
I’m pretty sure most men don’t get angry when a woman puts on lipstick. That’s just you, dude. Well, you and a thousand other MRAs.
Well, if you dig really deep into history and our modern use of makeup, you will see it points to one key element of humanity, Power.
Wait. I thought female power resided in the ass, not the face. Didn’t Warren Farrell write a book about that or something?
Power to attract those you want (or label unwanted attention as harassment as a result of powder power)
Powder power? Is that like miniskirt power? You are Warren Farrell, aren’t you?
Power to influence Power to feel good about yourself (vain or not) Just a few examples
Dude, sorry to interupt your little rant here, but would it kill you to put periods at the end of your sentences?
Makeup is expensive, a huge industry, so money and making others pay for your power is in high demand.
I had no idea the women were so devious. Making men pay for their makeup, which they then use to make men pay for … more makeup. Lather, rinse, repeat. It’s ingenious. At least until the makeup-using manipulator is found dead in her apartment, lipstick tube still in her hand, crushed by the gigantic boxes of makeup she conned poor male suckers into buying for her.
[W]e see it in every day life, in relationship, those trying to get relationships. we see it in business, court rooms, churches, places of power. We see it in schools, young girls even. We see it in the media oh yes those sexy Fox women, wonder why those women were hired? Why they put on so much makeup? Take a guess boys, take a guess white knights. Take a guess MRMs.
You seem a little fixated on the Fox News women.
The power of paint and powder to influence others minds, their reactions, their actions, it is one of the most deeply rooted human aspects of power projection yet few ever take it seriously. The power of makeup to make women beautiful to seduce and control a horny man or a white knight has built kingdoms, it has destroyed kingdoms, it has had major political influence around the world for all of history.
Behold, the most powerful woman in history:
Weird. I feel an almost irresistible urge to buy that woman some more makeup. MUS T RESIST.
There is a reason why most women use makeup, because it gives them power, subtle, acceptable power that few men can ignore.
Women’s sexuality, it is natural and men are pawns to it because men are wired to view women as sexual objects. … So when men see a woman dolled up with makeup more often than not his head falls head over heels with lust (not love) desire (not caring).
His HEAD falls HEAD over HEELS with LUST.
His HEAD.
Let’s just think about this for a second. How does a HEAD fall head over heels? A HEAD DOESN’T HAVE HEELS IT IS JUST A HEAD.
Does it borrow some heels for the occasion? Does it hold the heels in its mouth? So many questions.
The power of beauty and charisma that comes with paint and powder changes the world.
So how is it related to mens rights?
Oh, this oughtta be good.
Go outside, yes leave your computer. Go to any public place and watch people. Watch how men react to women who are dressed sexy or wear more makeup.
Uh, ok. But then I’d have to put on some pants.
Or just watch this stuff on TV.
Yeah, on second thought, let’s not go outside at all. Let’s base our entire knowledge of how men and women interact on old sitcoms and Fox News. You know, the news channel with all those sexy Fox women.
Anyway, so how does this relate to Men’s Rights?
Men are ugly compared to women with paint and powder right? How dare men show attraction to beautiful women, they must be pigs! Right?
Uh, what? Is this your actual argument? Are you actually trying to make some sort of sense? Or are you just typing?
White Knights love beautiful women on the outside , oh yes the white knight shield of justice is like a mirror to reflect the beauty of any female even a woman who murders her husband or rapes a boy.
Wat.
But a white knights sword is dripping with the blood of innocent men who dare even attempt equality with a beautiful woman.
Damn, this got dark, really dark, all of a sudden.
The power of paint and powder, it has affected every one of you reading this at some point in your life. it will again.
Well, not if one of those white knights has stabbed you to death, I mean, yikes! But let’s not get hung up on details.
It is not evil or wrong to wear makeup in my opinion but it is important that we become aware of how much of a paint and powder worshiping society we have become.
Is it any wonder men’s rights and well being have been left far behind in society that craves women and their paint and powder? Just saying.
Just saying?
JUST SAYING?!!
THAT’S how your ending this post?
Dude, your cockamamie thesis is that evil makeup-wearing, husband-murdering, boy-raping women rule the world, while easily manipulated white knights are going around wantonly stabbing any Men’s Rights Activists they can find.
And you end your rant with “just saying?”
Really? I mean, if you’re going to put it out there, fucking put it out there! Commit to it! End with something, you know, dramatic.
“By Grabthar’s hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!”
You know, something like that. Something cool.
End strong! End big!
Just saying.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering about that Grabthar’s hammer thing:
—
I wondered whether warspite might be a crossdresser in denial – angry that society would stigmatise him for using the power of makeup to transform from ‘pig’ to beauty? I’d certainly have more sympathy for his views if he was
I’m pretty sure if I squint hard enough at his… “argument,” I can see the Mona Lisa formed in the shape of the paragraphs.
…so… um why doesn’t this dude just start wearing makeup?
I saw a video recently of several men having makeup professionally applied to half their faces ( as in, half of each face). Interesting to watch, and the final results were as well. One man said, “if men had to wear makeup to get laid. . . they probably would.”
Two things:
1. Attraction to make-up can’t be, by definition, biologically “hard-wired”.
2. Simple solution for those guys: wear make-up yourselves. Done!
I’m so helpful. =)
Most women wear makeup for themselves. How does that oppress men? Does this twat think because women can make themselves feel confident with a little face powder that it shouldn’t be allowed? because other women would agree with me that it is looked upon as ‘lazy’ to be a woman that does not put effort toward her makeup and hair. We don’t magically wake up and are up to societies beauty standards every morning.
By Hatshepsut’s beard (and Louis XIV’s rouge,) this one is dumb.
@Robert
I was wasting time on the internet instead of doing my work, and look what I found
But some guys alredy do wear make up to look more like the “masculine ideal of beauty”. For eg – all the actors in 300 had makeup on their abs to make them look more defined

And that is literally an optical illusion rather than decoration like most women do.
OMG that explains why I’ve been single for all these years! My makeup bag only has foundation and mascara in it.
I’VE BEEN DOING THIS DATING THING WRONG MY WHOLE LIFE.
No worries though, I’m off to the store to buy paint for my lips and powder for my eyes. Then I’ll have a plethora of menfolk at my manipulative disposal. >:D
That was an interesting video – my main impression was that the guys looked good, but the eye makeup and lippy seemed a bit heavy-handed.
I had a sad watching moustaches get shaved off. :/
Speaking of optical illusions, makes you wonder, doesn’t it, if the prat in the OP thinks Photoshop and makeup are the same things.
Yeah, I was just thinking: if make up has some kind of seductive power, why doesn’t he wear it himself? Women would fall for him like ripe apples! These guys in the video above look SO much better after. He says it himself: men are ugly. So, why not do something about that bro, instead of being a victim.
No, George Hale,
he should stop denying and start applying!
Then become a feminist.
