material girls, make up and the human condition.



every now and again i come across a blog that makes me stand back and think, wow, you're interesting.

i found one today. im not going to put the link on my website because the last time i did that they didnt like it. but anyway i think this guy is impressive in his own masculine way:

he talks about things that i've thought about myself. Madonna and her song, material girl. What is she talking about? he thinks she's talking about women, whereas, i know, that she is talking about herself.

Neneh Cherry is another one from that generation. Kisses on the wind. Manchild. She talks about men and how they should treat her. Perhaps though, she was a more caring person than madonna.

i have no idea how he finds his information on make up. i'd like to know. i would also like to know, if he is aware, that he could be VERY wrong too? Its a very risky thing to do, judge people on the way they look. But, he's right. they ask for it dont they?? dont they??

im a woman who refuses to wear make up, apart from the occasional time that i feel my eyes need a bit of lightining up, hence a little bit of white eye enhancer. Having two kids, i can look like a tired old hag otherwise. but, hey i can laugh about it. I dont wear it, because it makes me feel self conscious, like im trying to portray something about myself, which i dont like to do. I try so hard to make my ideas my personality, not my appearance.

what about men and the way they look?

heres three of Lucia Vega's own stereotyped ideas, after all, all's fair in love and war right?

men with complete hairlines past the age of 25. NEVER trust them. In fact, i only ever trust men who have experience some degree of male pattern baldness.

men who part their hair at the side, are either gay, or repressed bisexuals. dont get involved.

men with long hair in a pony tail and a long trench coat. have small penises, as do men who are involved in driving around cars at speed. They try and compensate for their insecurity.

so, now we've past the stereotypes.

lets get down to the truth.

men these days are interacting with groups of young women who have no idea of what feminism was about, or why it was introduced. They only know, that whenever they have a problem, it can be blamed on men. They fear men, they fear the authority that men represent. They try and attack it in the only way they know. Their totally screwed up sexuality. Make up? theres more to it than that!

whos winning here?

men? no. they are no more at fault than anyone else. i feel sorry for them. most of them REALLY believe they are the problem! i suppose the MRM is going to change that eventually.

women? no. they have no power to sort out their own problems. while they are based on blaming men, they remain. Its your life honey, not his. Stop letting him take it over. he doesnt want too..

the problem, is the human condition.

we all have insecurities, desires, needs and wants. Its nobodys fault, its how we are.
i hope the mens movement will take this into account.
