do you wear makeup?

[/quote]Ok, you've got me interested, how does a swastika relate to anarchism?[/quote]

Easy enough to answer, Actual. The swastika was originally designed as a symbol of anarchy through the Black Ram Group which surfaced in 1982. Ta-da!

I'm female and I do, but I enjoy makeup. There are a lot of possibilities, and it's fun. That said, if you want eyeliner to last longer, you can try using a primer underneath. There are a few cheaper brands in the drugstore you can use. Another option is to get a cheap brush (there's a company called ELF that sells makeup brushes for $1; I own a few of these and they're good) and take a matte black eyeshadow and trace over your eyeliner with the brush, smudging it a bit if you like. It will help things to last longer.

Ah, cool, that makes sense. Had to look it up on wikipedia though, so the message might have been lost on most people who saw it and didn't understand. And I can't see why people would be offended by this:

What part of it? Everything?

The part about gay men not being men.

I do not include "metrosexuals" into my definition of "man" so I will not include homosexuals either.

I have nothing against any sexual preference in specific, like I don't have anything against emo or scene kids...

I already agreed that there is are anatomical similarities, obviously... Har har. But beyond that, the mentality of a gay man is extremely far from what I think is a "man".

Well that's not a generalization at all.

What?

Why do you care? Should I have written "While I find that some men that I percieve to have non-straight preferences more-or-less also have other values and morals than myself"? Are we really playing so child-friendly?

You find absolutely nothing wrong with the bold text? No stereotyping in the form of flamboyant homosexuals being grouped in with all homosexuals? Are you sure that's not condescending? Not at all?

How is it condescending?
I am talking about behaviour, likes, dislikes, interest...

While I do not have a world of experience, I do have some. There are not many similarities there.

And by grouping all homosexuals together in that category, you have stereotyped anyone who is attracted to males as completely flamboyant, which is ridiculously condescending.

I wear nail varnish "for teh lolz" sometimes but make up is a little too far for my tastes.

If you want to "make your eyes pop" all the power to you, personally I think your begging to victimized.

ya maybe. thats a big reason i'm wearing it, if somebody gets they're panties in a twist because of me, its done its job.

Then in my opinion, you're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

what are the right reasons?

I think the only appropriate reason to wear eyeliner is to visually make your eyes standout.

Wearing it to purposely antagonize people? That's puerile and petty.

But usually no. I'm an ugly git - nothing in this world is gonna help that XD.

Why are you posting your facebook profile? Do you want me to send a friend request or something?

If you want :S. I was just posting pics - I can't be bothered to re upload them anywhere.

Sorry - those links should work.

With the chance of sounding like a bigot/ignoramus/jerk I must state this:

Well... No. Since I'm a man, and with that not a whiny emo/goth/scene kid, nor homosexual. I do not wear makeup.

This might have been a bit harsher than i would phrase it, but this.

I mean, it seems like the only reason you're even doing this is because of the fact that these boys are making fun of you. You say you're doing it becuase "we live in overly sexualized society" but I don't really buy it. I mean, power to you if you feel like this is the actual cause, but it seems more like you're trying to fit into this role.

Whatever, its not my place to judge. But as Catchphrase said it, these are pretty much the reasons why I would never, ever wear make up.

no actually i'm not doing it because we live in an overly sexualized society, i was just inviting people to mention that if they thought it was relevant.

as to the reason i'm doing it, i think it looks cool.

I mean, it seems like the only reason you're even doing this is because of the fact that these boys are making fun of you.

well yeah, you have a bit of a point there. i'd probly still wear it, but i'd be a lot less motivated if ppl didn't care. i'm not really getting made fun of tho, just sort of getting called on it.

Can't you see your doing more harm then good?
Why do you wear make up? Attention.
Great, just *****ing fantastic. Not to show how makeup can be beneficial for men and women, but for attention.
Not helping anyone by taking frankly such a juevenile approach to it.

well i'd be lying if i said i wasn't enjoying the attention a bit, but i can't see how this is detrimental to society in anyway. beneficial maybe, because a boy is wearing makeup without considering they're might be some ppl who take issue with that. thats a good thing.

for the second time i will say that there is no need for hostility. if you disagree with me, i implore you to say so but plz keep it civil.

No, but I would like to get those badass contact lenses that Wes Borland wears on stage for Limp Bizkit.

The swastika is a symbol of the sun.

It does resemble another symbol a little... That you should have seen before, which may or may not tell you why people were offended:

Nazism [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wgh3P0eqLmk/SS31VOSbBNI/AAAAAAAADCQ/blQwQPnoxas/s400/swastika.png].

It was also a symbol of movement in ancient art. And often early figures in a "swastika pose" were drawn that way to show the energy in they're actions.

well i'm not wearing it to antagonize people, although being all rebellious and such (i can't help it) it does feel good to defy ppl, especially when they're trying to intimidate me by acting superior. the main reason is i think it looks cool. thats all.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

No i don't because I'm not an attention whore like you seem to be and I'm not gay or emo or goth or scene

I'm with Catchphrase on this one men don't wear make up

Sure they do, they do it all the time.

We are clear on what defines a persons gender, and it isn't whether they wear make-up or not. Google it if you don't believe me.

I don't wear make-up...doesn't mean that I never will.

Never in all my life have I seen that symbol used to represent anarchy. If you're trying to promote anarchy, then wouldn't you want to use a symbol that wouldn't be easily and understandably confused a Swastika?

Also, I admit to not knowing much about anarchy, but isn't it hypocritical to promote anarchy while going to school, assuming it receives federal funds?

 

[Fappy]

I don't think I have ever worn make-up in my life actually. Not even as a joke. Although people frequently ask if I am wearing lipstick during winter because I have insanely dry skin and my lips get a very red tint to them that contrasts with my pale complexion. Anyway, I really don't alter my appearance in any way other than brushing my hair so it doesn't look *too* messy. I couldn't ever imagine dying my hair, getting a tattoo, getting a piercing or anything past straightening my hair to be honest. And no, I don't straighten my hair either, my hair doesn't like it at all.
