    Mates, makeup ain’t for y’all. You know how you spent eight hours messing with your .bashrc or rolling for counter strike skins or whatever weirdass hobby you have? You don’t do it because you are trying to attract women - you see your friends get into something cool and you get competitive with them. That’s what it is for the womenfolk. They get their nails did and do weird ass makeup looks because it’s a fun hobby. They know that you probably don’t care about the difference between coffin and ballerina nails. But their friends do, and they want to show off, because it’s fun.

      Wow, seems like you are the only reasonable person on lemmy. Kudos!

      Users here love to hate other platforms for their hostile comments but continue to create an equally toxic environment just with a different flavor.

      As long as people have fun and don’t hurt anybody, let them roam.

    • And the notion of what is looking good and bad is a result of heavily sexualized norms that are fed into girls at a young age already. In the effect women who chose not to wear makeup are facing backlash and are made to feel less confident.

      So it isn’t just a fun hobby. It is also the expression and often submission to sexualized and sexist societal norms.

      Didn’t had the fun to mess with my .bashrc, but I have to mess with the jdk-openjdk and the jre-openjdk package, which are in conflict. All help I found online didn’t work.
