Ok I guess I’ll spell it out. If OP just liked makeup, they could do it on themself or any friend. When asked can we enhance my masculine features, OP said no, we’re doing blush, mascara, lip gloss. OP specifically wants to feminize their boyfriend. “You don’t have to go outside” = “I know being seen like this embarrasses you”. “It’s just for fun, don’t read too much into it, you don’t love me if you don’t let me do this” = OP has an emasculation fetish and gets off on this.
My issue isn’t that you’re against makeup on men, it’s that you’re trying to ascribe normality or morality to it. “Not in characteristic” “pretty weird”. You’re saying this about something that doesn’t affect you at all. I’m saying you should be a bit more accepting, like “Hey, I’m not into that, but it’s okay if other men like that.”
My issue is that I or no one else has to be more accepting. No, that’s a you thing. And yes I’m a telling you that it is abnormal. I’m also telling you that sure other guys do that go off I guess. The entire thing above was pointing out how putting toxic masculinity as a retort to that doesn’t fit. I said toxic masculinity is not a persons rejection of more progressive gender norms. We have clear and upheld views of masculinity as well as patterns. Men wearing makeup is less heteronormative
