Ok, so I just saw this Cracked article:
http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/5-mens-products-that-are-clearly-womens-products/
Ignoring the fact that article is poking fun at how much these products overcompensate... How would you feel about a world where men wear make-up just like women? And by that I mean it'd expected of you to wear it when you go to work (unless you're in a very practical field), or go out with your friends, or on a date or whatever.
I personally think all these male beauty products are just the cosmetic industry trying to broaden their market, rather than a fight for equality or whatever.
I'm all for equality, but I feel this is equality in the wrong way. In an ideal, equal world women shouldn't be pressured into wearing makeup, but should these products take off I'm imagining some kind of world where both men and women are ostracised for not wearing make-up.
Captcha: Old codger
Yeah captcha, I am kind of worried I'm going to end up as some kind of grumpy old codger, cursing at androgynous youths, grumbling under my breath that "back in my day, proper blokes didn't wear makeup!"
EDIT:
Ok the original poll had a couple of problems so I changed it. Sorry to anyone who already voted and may now have cast a vote towards something they wouldn't have voted for.
