That aggravates me to no end.
Most of the men I've dated didn't really care if I wore it or not. My first husband, before I got in church, told me once - "I wish you would stop dressing, everyday, like we are going to the opera!!!"  |
I have no problem with makeup at all, but most of the time don't mess with it. I get just as irritated at the "Women are ugly without makeup" crowd as I do with the "No makeup, you Jezebel!" crowd.
I work in a casual environment, and one day a few summers ago I was wearing flip-flops, and my boss make a smart alleck comment "If you are going to make us look at your toes, you could at least put polish on them"
I turned and gave him "the look" (The one that would make my husband run away at breakneck speed) and said "Excuse me? Do you were polish on
your toes?"
To which my male boss of course answered "no"
to which I continued "So, are you implying that my toes in their natural state are somehow deficient, and are in need of polish to make them sufficiently viewable?"
(says he)..."uhhhhh....ummmmm..."
(I continue) "And that
your toes are someone completely acceptable in their natural state, simply because you WERE BORN A MAN, AND I A WOMAN???"
At which point he got a really scared look on his face and started backing away. Would you believe he has never again made any reference to toe-nail polish or makeup of any kind, ever again?
