Yeah... No. These aren't "one off" days where women suddenly stop wearing makeup at random. This happens to an overwhelming amount of women even when they go long stretches without makeup. It's the norm. And it's not just women who are sleep deprived or need a nutritionist. Tell me you're a man without telling me you're a man.

Dunno if I came off judgemental? The intention was supportive and humorous.

Guess things didn't translate through text.

Lol, your last sentence tho. If men are the problem, then be the change?

Yeah, it's not your job to educate, but you don't have to make things worse. It's already a prisoners dilemma leading to a place where potential allies accidentally insulting each other.

A lot of men don't know the right way, cuz every woman in their life made the normal choice to not take a moment to teach. How men act in those moments that harmed you, are a reflection of a lifetime lack of nurturing. As are the way women receive those comments. And so on we go hurting each other.

Love is the answer. We're all out here just trying to do our best.
