All you makeup-wearing guys out there!

OK, so maybe not a good opening line, considering last time I checked there were less than half a dozen of you...

OK then, for those of a male persuasion who use any kind of cosmetic, be it makeup, skin cream, that kinda thing...

Are YOU fed up with the constant prejudice that all the manufacturers have that cosmetics are for women only? I recently dyed my hair, and the picture on the front of the box was a woman. Not that I mind the picture, it's the assumption, and that all the hair dye had a woman's face on it, and was all aimed at women...

I can't buy an eyeliner without people giving me odd looks. You get the jist, I'm sure.

That is why you must all join the Fight Against Cosmetics Control! Join me now, Brothers!

They sucked. one was incredibly fat and the other was incredibly skinny, but they both just sat there in front of the food dish, eating and shitting all day long... They weren't rabid and earlobe biting though. That might have made them more exciting.

Mojo, this is a wonderful topic. Although I myself do not use cosmetics in such a way, I totally understand your situation.
In the past, it was not uncommon for noblemen to powder their face. In fact, nearly all of them did (they also applied fake hairy birthmarks, but that's another story). These days you can hardly cross the street without people staring at you if you've done so much as paint your nails black. At the same time that men are restricted to using no cosmetics whatsoever, women have a free choice in the amount they wish to apply.
This is of course very unfair and we should not bow to this cosmetics tyranny.
But it is not the only example of the way men are suppressed in our society.
In the past, it was not uncommon for men to wear dress-like garments such as the sarong, tunic or indeed, the kilt. Try walking in one now and you can sense the hostility around you, not only from women, but from other men who are part jealous and part brainwashed by mothers, sisters and wives.
At the same time, women can walk freely in whatever garments they choose, be they dresses or trousers. In the American society over 90% of women regularly wear blue jeans, yet these clothes have traditionally been for men only.
So why is it women are allowed to wear anything they like, even men's clothes, and men are restricted to what little the women permit? Why is it that men accept this, and even aid in beating down any resistance as may arise?
It is time we realise this is the real enemy of our society, and the issue should receive the highest priority. It is time to make a stand, and reclaim our rights.

We are going to have to act if we want to live in a different world.

Join the Fight Against Cosmetics Control.

Cast off the chains which bind you to this wrong. The key is YOU!

EDIT: And fighting for the penguin army is pointless. I've been training my army of Scottish Battle Armadillos for years now, and everyone knows 'dillos eat penguin eggs for lunch and supper. If I choose to deploy my force against the PA, the penguin army will crumble in no-time. Better to spend your time fighting for this just cause

Thank you, Legolas.

As for the rest of you...well, I'm disappointed. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

I would be ashamed wearing cosmetics than supporting a pro-male cosmetic movement

LOL, if wearing cosmetics is your goal, out of here, I'll have to roll. Why on earth would you want to do that? Right now, men have it the best we have ever had it. We don't have to wear ties or hats, unless we want to, I wear a suit twice a year, maybe, and girls walk around practically naked. I like it like it is. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
