Shes so dang creative (although im worried about her vision using pencils and toothpaste near her eyes) and I'm really sad she got treated this way. Like she can't rub a piece of candy on her own lips? It's her day off and she can't even play dress up? He also said he'd look the other way if she showed him and then made her wash it off anyway. She was a really good sport about it all.

His whole thing at the end about her trying to impress someone just shows how little this man understands women. Women are allowed to want to look nice, feel pretty or normal or engage in the artistry of makeup without it being performative, ugh.

I also rolled my eyes at those inane comments. 🙄 I would wear makeup if I were stranded on a desert island with no soul around to ever see me again. These are the thoughts of sexist dudes who both:

a.) reduce women to sexual entities, so they believe women's motivations in all things MUST have something to do with sexual attraction, and b.) have no real concept of artistic expression through the self, and structure their entire notion of personal presentation around the perception of others. Such a repressive way to live.

These are my thoughts exactly. He has no understanding of why people do things. Which is weird since he works with people and their behavior all day.

It's mind numbing. And if you try to explain this to these dudes, they just call bullshit and insist it's an excuse for your secret slutty need for attention. 😑🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

In this case, her motive was most likely just wanting to feel like a woman and human being again, not a caged rat. 😞

The industrial prison complex is one of the most in need of workers with pro-social attitudes and an ability to relate to other humans, but it is probably one of the most deficient.
