Men are lament again near women applying makeup on their commutes.

It'south very bothersome, they say when girls – or people of whichever gender – quietly put on their faces on the manner to work.

And information technology seems we're constantly meeting men who say they prefer women to have 'the natural look'.

Actor-turned-director Bradley Cooper even resorted to taking off Lady Gaga's makeup for her audition in their new film together (something about wanting her to be open, with 'no bamboozlement', he said).

So why do so many men feel entitled to share their opinion on the thing? Of course, preferences are preferences and y'all may just think your partner looks improve in her natural state, but a woman or anyone who wants to use their autonomy to decorate their trunk should be able to then without unsolicited communication.

Because, if you missed information technology, it's their body.

The effect with women getting gear up on the train has bothered male person commuters because they feel information technology's private grooming that should be done at home.

What they fail to realise is that it's basically just to save time. If men could shave on the railroad train (without needing h2o, a trimmer, or razor) then they would exercise it too to salve an extra fifteen minutes in the morning.

The whole affair also raises issues most how people react to women taking up social spaces. Manspreading is a famous concept on the train (which directly affects female commuters, physically taking upwardly their space or getting in their mode) and withal most men don't think of it as a trouble.

Simply when a adult female has the audacity to quickly and quietly popular on some foundation, lipstick, and the like, it becomes a point of contention.

Men's complaints of women doing this are also trivial, especially when yous consider what women's thoughts are on the railroad train.

Activist Iman, 24, tells Metro.co.uk that the whole thing is ironic.

'I recall information technology's rich that men have a problem with women quietly applying makeup on public transport considering that I have become so traumatised by men'south behaviour on public ship that my feet spikes whenever I see a man with his hands lingering around his under regions.'

She is alluding to men masturbating on public transport. The makeup-on-train issue is insignificant in comparison.

The same arguments tin can be made against men who stress the importance of the nude look when it comes to relationships.

I've had the misfortune of interacting with men who think it'due south 'fraud' when a woman 'advertises' herself as beautiful with her face painted on but her God-given features contradict it (their words, non mine).

Fraud implies a deliberate charade in which the person get something in return (and LOL, we wish we did).

The simple fact is everyone wants to look skilful, some people take more actions to do this than others, but no 1 wants to look bad on purpose.

Where there are options, we're going to take them.

If cosmetics for men were more normalised so yes you'd likewise be using concealer to get rid of those eye bags.

Peradventure nearly of import, men must remember that women are not wearing makeup just for them.

It isn't because Dave in the club is going to notice glittery eyelids or the way the highlighter perfectly catches the light.

Many women wear information technology as a conviction boost, enhancing what the Lord gave us similar when men feel fleeky after a fresh trim.

She's not trying to dupe you into having relations with her. Yeah, some women feel the need to always wear it in front of their partners but that's not to trick you, that's but so she feels pretty and that you notice and feel lucky to take her.

And gild is even so in favour of a 'well-kept female'.

'Well groomed' women in the workplace earn significantly more money than those who don't brand much of an effort.

And if yous're a woman who's normally adorned with cosmetics simply determine to take a day off – you've probably been told you look tired, or ill (I've heard both).

Looking good has become synonymous with effort – makeup is only function of it. Why are women punished for utilising information technology?

Why does everyone want a goth girlfriend?

Makeup is also not indicative of a adult female's talents (vis a vis Lady Gaga), persona, or intentions.

Although information technology takes talent to employ eyeliner on a moving train, a person stripped away from it all is not any better than anyone who plasters it all over.

Lady Gaga, though she may have felt more vulnerable in her audition, was not all of a sudden gifted with acting prowess when she had her face up wiped off, nor was she useless without it.

Women utilize makeup whenever they feel like it. And then we might be channeling Taylor Swift one day with a cute picayune ruby-red lippie or determine to get emo grunge another – you'd be a fool to call up it'southward telling of our personalities.

We get the appeal of the nude look, that someone who doesn't wear it is seen equally depression maintenance. Who wants high maintenance? Merely information technology's i of the oldest cliches: don't judge a book by its cover.

Don't judge a woman by her cover-up.

And for those who only 'luuurve' the natural look: do y'all accept the same energy for women being natural in other senses such as not shaving their underarms or legs?

Or is that another story for some other mean solar day?
