I like how GOOGLE posts "how to" articles on the bottom of their log in page. Sometimes their "how to" can be really unexpected, like today's venture into how men should apply makeup. After the article I treat myself to the response section and the below pretty much sums up what you'll find every day.

I'm not surprised to see the immature comments made by men who's sexuality is threatened by the very idea that a man might put on makeup.
There are many legitimate reasons a man might want/need to wear make up - bad skin, not wanting to look exhausted at a job interview/important social function, for photos, for fun - Really all the same reasons a woman might want to wear it.
All through history men have worn makeup for all of these reasons and more and it had NO effect on how manly a man was perceived to be, it's only in the last 50 years that it's become something only women do and a sign of a man being feminine (and really there's nothing wrong with that.). It all ties into the society sickness that anying woman is inferior to man. I wonder how you manly men who shriek and cry "Ghey!" can measure up to, for example, the spartans (since 300 is such a manly man-fest), who commonly wore khol around their eyes.
