Makeup and feminism: or why I’m here
<p>What a great question. I’m going to give you the answer I give multiple times a day in my day-job as a lawyer: it depends.</p>
<p>First-wave feminists — those fighting for equality between 1830 and the mid-1900’s — would probably ask you why this question is even relevant. They’re too busy campaigning for basic fundamental rights like being treated as a person separate to their husband, the right to own property or the ability to vote — the first step in securing political power to affect change on a long term basis.</p>
<p>Second-wave feminists — who worked hard to broaden the debate from between around 1960 and the 1980s — would probably say yes. During this time, an unadorned face was a badge of feminist honour, and wearing makeup was seen to be allowing the further objectification and oppression of women. Feminists ascribing to second-wave ideals would probably tell you that yes, wearing makeup is fundamentally anti-feminists.</p>
