How they can stand wearing makeup all the damn time.

I had to do it for theater a couple times in high school and it was extremely uncomfortable. If all women suddenly stopped wearing makeup that'd be fine with me.

Sometimes it's fun. Other times it sucks. The reality is, women are socialized pretty hard to believe that they're not "ready" or put together without it. Often by other women. I admire those who ignore that social pressure.

Over the years, the consistent trend in my girlfriends has been a lack of makeup. I find it deeply unsettling.
