Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I usually think that they prefer the "no makeup" look or prefer women that spend more time grooming themselves. Hello, skincare and eyebrow shaping!
If the man was asked directly, sure I don't really mind their preference.
It usually isn't prompted, though. It's usually brought up after they see someone with a lot of makeup on. Those guys are just assholes. Same lines of "I hate it when women dye their hair blue" or "I hate it when women wear..." or "I hate it when women do [something harmless]"
I am usually barefaced, but I love wearing makeup sometimes. The natural look is nice, but I also love sparkles and color! It is fun.
A man is free to prefer no makeup. He doesn't have to wear any if he doesn't want to.
This is a brilliant comment! You make a great point about how it's unsolicited comments from assholes. I've heard that loads, but i don't think I've ever heard a woman comment on a random man's appearance and say "i hate it when men wear/style XXX way". Men that say it are often objectifying the women round them and expecting her to meet THEIR needs not her own!
