Hmmm. Question 3 resonated with me, but the rest I find alien, probably because I don't know many people and avoid like hell any people who believe in or fit into such social stereotypes.
I don't get the idea that women who wear make up and shit are not doing it to attract men. I mean, I am sure some are not, and that some are trying to look attractive to women or just to anyone, and that some just enjoy dressing up, and some like a particular style or just want to hide spots, but surely under all these apparent reasons lies the fact that women are seen as sexual objects and men not much, and that women are made to feel shit if they do not conform to ideas of female attractiveness?
