A new app that's went viral. It erases away women's makeup to show what they look like natural. Of course women are pretty upset about it. However, it is hilarious

Seeing pictures revealed by this app have made me aware of some things I hadn't considered before. One is that makeup is used as a kind of literal mask to allow them to put on a person in which they can be more confident than they really are. It lets them lie to themselves in the mirror until they actually believe it. Additionally, there has been a cultural shift in the past 20 years or so that has encouraged girls to wear makeup at a younger age. This could explain the harsh divide amongst the sexes that has continued to widen over time. Girls are allowed to become someone they're not, gain a sense of security in that facade, and unfairly criticize boys, and later men, for their shortcomings which are merely being worn honestly. Then women get to an age where they can no longer accept the game of pretend with themselves as time catches up with them and they lash out at older men who manage to hold on to their natural looks for much longer. It's a game of pretend. It's a magic trick of makeup.
It's also a little disheartening when you see some girls who look much more naturally feminine, natural, gentle, and approachable with the makeup off. Not to mention the implication of the psychological impact having hidden behind a mask would take on a girl versus being themselves with all the very human flaws on display.
This was all a ruse to try and shift the balance in favor of women and it's backfired. I hope this app gives young men a renewed sense of confidence in themselves.
