I'm just a teenager, but i find some men with make-up attractive.

Ringtail, my 'carved you up' .. was a QUESTION... u claimed I said that, but I couldn't find it in my posts, I said I only remember 'roadkill' and I'm TRYing to be a bit light hearted here.. gimme a break will ya and please LOOK for the smileys...

I don't think complementing you on your most impressive approach to handling the pressures of family, work and personal fulfillment could be construed as 'having a go at you' ? can it ?

For someone who is probably WAY more fulfilled than those poor women who are enduring a crush morning and night to be be at the 'office' while they are stressing out about their babies in child care I don't know why u have a go at ME all the time ? err.. I've not said women can't have equal access to most jobs, but female biology dictates (NOT ME) that some occupations are not appropriate.

My problem is with women trying to be men, there are differences u know. Have u not seen Policewomen being pushed aside by male protesters ? I sure have. If the history of my country depended on a battle involving hand to hand combat, only a lunatic would put women on the front line.

Do u 'get' it yet ? man..I'm slipping.. no bible verses yet. Hmmm.. maybe its just common sense talking here than my 'bigotry' :)

Boaz, I am aware that you write passionately about your beliefs - and so do I.

Check your post above dated Tuesday, March 22, 2005 10:07:45 PM, where you claimed to have carved me up. I find it interesting how often you use such physical terms in your responses to my posts but I don't see that in your responses to others.

I have noticed also that when you have been brought to task about the strident vehemence of your posts by others you frequently back down and claim "joke". Nothing wrong with humour - I use it myself from time to time. However I think you doth protest too much when confronted with some of your more extreme comments.

Having said that, however, I also believe you genuinely care about others - you sound alot more mentally balanced than say Timkins or Ozaware (whose website I have checked and found to be the epitomy of 'verbal bludgeoning' Ozaware may not be religious but he appears to be some kind of zealot).

Well this is nothing about males in mascara - just using this forum to talk to you. So I will justify this post by saying that in my youthful years I found many a made up rock star eg Robert Smith from the Cure or Iggy Pop as very attractive indeed. However men in rock 'n roll are a complete other culture and Daniel's article was referring to the average bloke.

Hey Kristen,

I'm interested in your point of view. OFten these things are fashions. Egyptian pharaohs wore make-up, as did European Restoration dandies. Captain Cook probably wore make-up occasionally, and if not he, surely Joseph Banks did. When you say you find some men in makeup attractive, can you give us any examples that we would know? Are they making some sort of a statement about who they are, their sexuality, or is it a fashion statement?

I think the metrosexual isn't even a general media construction, I think it was invented in this forum by the collective will of posters. For the record, metrosexuals do not exist, they are just a figment of your collective imagination.

What a clash of the egos!
