No, asking for consensual sex. Wearing make up implies that a woman is in the mood. There is a big difference between consensual sex and rape. Wearing make up is a form of seduction, and I don't have a problem with that so long as it is appropriate to have sexual thoughts about the female wearing it, otherwise, I think that the make up is out of place, sort of like a nun with a condom ad on her habit. Its a mixed message. I respect authenticity. Figure out what you want to represent or be and do what is consistent with that, but don't say you believe in one thing and then DO the opposite.
Why does a particular change in the coloring of a woman's face make her look more attractive with make up? Why does the made up look provoke such an automatic inherent pleasant response to that look? The obvious answer is that it represents a look that women naturally have under certain circumstances that are very positive. The idea that make up makes a woman look like she is having sex is NOT my personal theory. It was explained in a program I saw on The Learning Channel. It makes sense to me.
I have also heard that make up was originally worn by prostitutes, obviously, to improve business. If THAT is true, it says everything that needs to be said about the original purpose and intrinsic purpose of make up being to sexually objectify women. Being "the world's oldest profession" perhaps that is why there is an association between the made up look and women's financial and commercial success.
I am not strongly against make up or the sexual objectification of women, but I am objective enough to admit it is there when it is.
A lot of people don't like to admit things are true just because to do so would make them uncomfortable. I am not. I acknowledge a truth no matter how uncomfortable it might be. I then make a decision as to whether I will continue to support the thing I learned a truth about or not, and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of either, but I won't deny the truth of something just because it forces me to reevaluate my priorities, which opens the door to the possibility of personal change. Change is usually uncomfortable unless a person isn't already uncomfortable from the thing to be changed to begin with. Thus, if people have never had a personal problem or disadvantage from wearing make up, they will avoid any acknowledgment of any disadvantage or uncomfortable truths there might be about it. That doesn't mean that there aren't any. It just means they will not admit the truth about that thing. Just because wearing make up is a widely accepted cultural convention does not mean that it isn't a form of sexually objectifying women. A lot of feminists would agree with me on that. However, I like make up women, therefore it logically follows that I also like the sexual objectifying of women, otherwise, I would be a hypocrite. Sure, in a vacuum, as an abstract concept without context, I might say, hmm, the sexual objectification of women, that doesn't sound so good, I really don't think I can support that. But then it occurs to me that I like women wearing make up and sexy female statues and think, hmm, well then I guess I DON'T have a problem with the sexual objectification of women. Oh well. Madison avenue does it with men just like women, so I don't really see a double standard about it, therefore, sexual objectification is not sexist, because each sex is objectified, therefore there is no discrimination, and thus, no sexism.
