Our thanks to James for this piece penned by a whiny feminist. The start of the piece:
We’ve all heard the rib-jabbing comments about makeup that some men like to spout, from “Take her swimming on the first date” to “This is why I have trust issues.” All these comments allude to the fact that a person somehow “tricks” their date if they show up to dinner with highlighter and mascara on. Apparently, this fear has grown to such exponential heights that one man has now invented an app that digitally wipes makeup off any photo uploaded to the service. Real world problems, and we get this bullshit.
The app is called MakeApp, and its the creation of Russian founder Ashot Gabrelyanov. The digital “miracle” lets you wipe away the cosmetics from five photos for free before asking you to pay $0.99 to continue editing images and videos.
Now too old to need it. Useful for younger chaps, though, if the product does as claimed. What really is interesting is that men seem always to find ways to deal with the deceits of women.

Yes of course William.
Every action provokes an equal and opposite reaction, as you know.

Well, it’s no worse than the deceit of makeup in the first place.
But then does one Need an app to excavate the layers of muck on a girls face?
Perhaps very young lads might be deceived but…
A better target might be the industry that works hard to persuade it’s customers that they need the stuff at all.
Who has not seen a young girl with a grotesque carapace of pancake trowel applied stucco.
I’d like to wipe it all off and say – “there, that’s better surely”.
Less is more I feel..

LOL @ ‘a grotesque carapace of pancake trowel applied stucco.’ You have a way with words (I’m thinking of ‘flaky pastry fantasists’).
Like you I prefer make-up free female faces, or nearly make up free if they must use some.

Perhaps if we used this app on feminists, the resulting image would be similar to that on the cover of Mike’s book (Feminism: The Ugly Truth).
