Kate Winslet says it's not brave when actresses don't wear makeup and/or show their bodies on camera.

“That’s not f*cking brave. I’m not an ex-postmaster fighting for justice, I’m not in the Ukraine. I’m doing a job that matters to me."https://t.co/PPc8nteiIS

that's true but at the same time it's worth recognising how fucked up norms like women being seen as looking ill, being lazy and unprofessional when/if they're not wearing make-up and that with hygiene indifference being one of the ways of assessing mental health issues (depression in particular), it frequently includes wearing make-up for women, while somehow men's lack of make-up isn't seen as a sign of poor health, laziness, lack of professionalism or sign of mental illness. of course the root causes of misogyny run much deeper but gendered attitudes towards make-up are absolutely one of the ways misogyny affects women on a daily basis, and as such, it's not any less trivial than all those other little effects of misogyny in everyday life. of course that's not to say that no one can wear make-up just like pointing out issues with tradwives doesn't mean that no woman can be a stay-at-home mother/spouse but recognising and trying to change the extremely fucked up attitudes towards 'mandatory' make-up for women can be a part of trying to change other fucked up examples of misogyny that may seem trivial at face value but are one small part of the rotten whole.

i'm not saying that it's trivial, i'm saying that it's trivial in face of the actual problem. i think what i meant to use was "arbitrary" but you'll have to excuse me because i'm in brain fog lol.

no specific action any one woman takes is bigger than the phenomenon behind it. especially something like makeup that's really a modern issue. it's also more complex than "wearing makeup good" "wearing makeup bad". there are also environments where a woman wearing makeup gets them punishment.
