Another thing that needs to be banned is high heels.

There is no better way to make feet look even worse than they already do than squashing them into a tight space and fixing them at an awkward angle. I really don't see the appeal. It also makes the wearer look fragile and unstable. Yuk.

i gotta say amen to that becuase high heels were the most rediculas shoe ever made and i refuse to wear them!!! however..... sharp. i find it odd you dont find anything women naturally do.... attractive. It must be hard for you walking around seeing all these women with makeup on and finding none of them attractive at all.

I find it odd that you consider wearing makeup and high heels to be things that women naturally do. There is nothing natural about either of those.

And no it is not hard at all - its actually kind of good, because there is no way I could have lustful thoughts about women if they are making themselves look as ugly as possible. The effect it has on me is probably similar to a woman wearing a burqa - she is negating any beauty that she might have with un unattractive facade.

It is natural for a woman to do those things, because as kids we are taught, sometimes orally sometimes just by influences, that those things make us pretty. So naturally women will gravitate towards those things.

I don't think I've ever seen a woman "gravitate".

You know, there's nothing better than a woman in high heels wearing a burqa. I'm not joking some do wear heels.

I guess the alternative approach instead of banning these accessories, is to ban good looking women.

Ok.

Well banning makeup would break the stranglehold that cosmetic companies have over the thoughts and actions of women (and some men). If this has or is becoming a normal trend in society where young girls are taught by their mothers or other older women that makeup "makes us pretty" then it needs to be crushed.

I don't think some people are aware of the spell they are under, including some people in this thread. When I see comments like "I can't live without my makeup" I am saddened, because it means people feel that they are under pressure to look better than they are. I think this pressure is generated by cosmetic companies, the fashion world, and magazines, who have managed to portray the use of makeup as normal, thereby locking in generations of customers, or, victims.

Dont forget men. That is a driving factor as well. Most, and there are the exceptions like yourself, that obviously want a woman to look a specific way, but even you must admit. You have been attracted to women that wear makeup AND high heels.

I wear heels at least once a week, but they're not the supet high ones with the heel the width of a pencil. I have to look professionally at school, so I dress up a little.

I think those women who are maybe 5 foot tall or shorter with really long legs and wear their jeans high nearly up to their arm pits shouldn't wear heels as well.

It's a personal preference. Some women just prefer to wear makeup because it enhances what they already have. Granted, some women wear WAYY too much and they begin to lose their face behind a mask...but some of us actually wear very little and we do it because it just makes us feel a little prettier and prepared. It's a personal preference. If someone started saying that we should stop using deoderant, would you? Putting makeup on is just part of some ladies morning routine. It's a free country, and if we decide to wear it, it's our choice. I don't think we should be looked down on for it. Telling a woman to no longer wear makeup is like telling guys to stop wearing baseball hats. "But oh no! You're hiding your hair!!" What I'm getting at is, it's a completely personal choice, and comdemning the entire female population that chooses to wear makeup, whether it be daily or now and then, is wrong and judgemental. It's not that we NEED it, it's just that we enjoy wearing it. To each her own. God's focusing on our hearts, shouldn't you be doing that to? Give the nice women with mascarra a chance. She could be the one God has for you, and you're missing out on it because you can't see past the fact that she's wearing makeup.

No I don't think so. Make up is not the problem. Just as long as you know how to use it, and use it in moderation otherwise you will end up looking like jacko.. lol I dont really like using much make up though, and I don't have a problem with those people who likes to experiment. I mean, life is short do whatever blows your mind.

"Vibrating. Infinite. Powermascara."

Surely we can all agree that any makeup that sounds like it could potentially beat you up or deatomize you should be banned.
