Just watched a video about how Hitler hated red lipstick, so the dress code for the females in the British military during WWll included wearing red lipstick.
Yes, and the US, too! This is from Besame Cosmetics website: "In the early 1940s, famous makeup artist, and women’s activist, Elizabeth Arden was approached to create a lipstick specifically designed for women in service. In 1941 “Montezuma Red” was created. It was a bright, vibrant red, and perfectly matched to the red piping and chevrons on women’s military uniforms. Montezuma Red was issued to military women in an official kit which included the beautiful red lipstick, a matching cream rouge, and nail polish." They formulated "Victory Red" for civilian purchase.
@@kirstenwyatt9675probabaly. It was considered patriotic duty for women at the home front to wear red lipstick every single day and one of the main reasons was that hitler was against all makeup. His idea of ideal Aryan beauty was blue eyes, blonde hair and no makeup at all. And of course, pushing out a baby a year 🙄💩
Yup. My family is pretty culty in an evangelical way, and my dad was VERY big on appearance control. He once handed me diagrams on the "correct" style of "properly feminine" shoe heel. And he hated red lipstick, especially on me. When I was in my 30s, my similarly controlling brother sent his daughter, my niece, to stay with her grandparents during the summer. I tagged along on a family trip to a theme park, where my dad proceeded to lecture and bully everyone at every opportunity. At one point, I took my niece (who was about 9) into the ladies' room. Once we had done our business, I stopped to refresh my makeup (which my father had ALSO complained about) and pulled two lipsticks and a lip gloss out of my bag. I offered to let my niece try the lightly tinted lip gloss, which she did. Then I showed her the lipsticks: one light rose, one bright red. "Should we be normal," I asked her, "or should we make trouble?" The glee in her eyes as she tapped the tube of red will live with me forever. We walked out of that bathroom looking fabulous and raised hell for the rest of the day.
The only time my dad bought me makeup, he started trying to weigh in on colors. I'd picked up a red lipstick and lip gloss duo and he said "Boys don't like girls who wear red lipstick. They think they aren't kissable." To which my sassy ass replied, "Good," and I got it anyway lol
I once heard a woman salesperson say that wearing lipstick (her colour was a pink close to red) made people listen to you. Like by drawing the eye to her mouth, a woman was going to have more of her words heard. She was a top seller, too.
It turns out people in the USA and allied countries knew Hitler hated red lipstick, so that made it more popular there. That is why it's so prominent in old movies and ads and western pop culture in general.
Yup, there was even a lipstick, blush, and nail polish shade named "Victory Red" that was standard issue for women in the U.S. military! (You can get a reproduction of the lipstick from Besame Cosmetics)
There's one tweak on the "cults not liking short hair on women" phenomenon. In the U.S., if you're a woman it's "required" when your hair turns gray to cut it shorter, at least to a bob. And to have an unattractive hairstyle. I love it when women with long hair don't change a thing once it turns gray. Why should we be embarrassed that we're getting older? We're just really coming into our power.
So I have had very short hair or even shaved many years, now I’m getting older and wearing longer hair and a bright lip, wear red handbags and boots… these boots are made for walking!
I had to stop watching this (briefly) to put some red lipstick on. A few years ago, during Portugal's presidential elections, the far-right candidate made fun of one of the female candidates, who is an accomplished diplomat and politician, for wearing red lipstick. And many women (me included) took a picture wearing red lipstick against fascism.
@martagama4579 That's awesome! I now live in Portugal, and red is the color of anti-facisim due to the revolution. A red carnation is very significant here. It's a great story and easily found on the internet.
My Mom would call her make up " war paint" and pray over it and bless it when she put it on. She told me thar women fight a secret war that takes place out in the open. Every time she had to stand her ground ir deflect someone trying to control or shame her, if my sisters and I were present she would give us a wise glance. She said that we need to remember that God gave each of us the responsibility and power for ourselves when we are adults. I miss her.
My Granny would bless her soaps, lotions, powders and such as well. She said that touch helped us be in the moment. Touch helps to heal and incorporate ourselves. To return back to who we are as we are now. She also said that to clean, care, consider, center and cultivate were all ways we shared our blessings and blessed what is a blessing to us. We can see what we care most deeply about by how much time and self we share with them. When we bless what blesses us it creates a circular blessing. It shows our young, especially our daughters how to value themselves, what blesses them and the relationships cultivated by those shared blessings. We each have something to share. Something that is a blessing of our experience as a human being. I am very content and appreciative to be able to share these things with y'all. I also appreciate hearing your experiences and feelings as well.
Aaand then there's the people who have the idea that women HAVE to wear makeup, HAVE to shave their legs (and pits). Have to "put on their face" before they leave the house. I'm so glad I never fell into that makeup chore; the only time I wear makeup is on Halloween, and maybe once in a blue moon I'll wear a (likely purple) lipstick. Also, my mom was always telling me that dyeing your hair was weird/wrong, which I only broke free of once I realized that Mom was always dyeing her hair -- she just dyed it to match "acceptable" normal haircolor and disguise her grey. Now I dye my hair, but I also don't care about maintenance of the dye, so the roots showing doesn't bother me, nor does the fact that the dye isn't uniform. My mom keeps mentioning any time my tummy shows (if my shirt's too short or rode up a bit), and my dad once said that men don't want women with hairy legs. I love them both and have a close relationship with my mom, but they definitely have their antiquated viewpoints.
Well, and bright colors in general. Bold lipstick, bright clothing, unusual hair colors are all ways to stand out, make a statement, be an individual. To do so requires the belief that you are worthy of being an individual and making your own choices. We can’t have women who know their worth and want to stand up and say something. The whole system would fall apart and we can’t have that.
There is a reason why one of the things toxic male partners do against their girlfriends/wives is to control what they wear and make a huge fuss about it.
I think red lipstick is one of those things that's not exactly particularly feminist or progressive in itself, the whole association of pale skin and red lips with beauty is pretty obviously dodgy just from the first item on that checklist, but it's doubly wierd when you bare in mind that it became associated with beauty in the 19th century because guys saw women with TB and thought they were attractive, it's a whole gross thing of it's own really. This is probably a pretty common contradiction in clothing control, one group of patriarchs controls and objectifies women in one way then another group of patriarchs reacts to that by punishing women who conform to their rival patriarch's customs. It's more about the control than it is about the clothing, make-up or tattoos themselves.
what i find most amusing, you can go 400 years back in western fashion and at every single point there is a group of men complaining about how women are going to ruin the world all because of the latest trend.
@sarav2209 Or 4,000 years for that matter. Probably some old Greek papyrus somewhere from a 2,000 B.C.E. incel complaining about women's togas. Nothing new under the sun really.
@@sarav2209and also, the men are constantly whining about how women are wearing 'manly' fashions now! Yup, even doublets in the Renaissance. Women wore them too. Scandal!
@sarav2209 Corsets, heels, bras, no bras, lipstick, rouge, beauty patches etc.... It's like all those written accounts about how youths are destroying society from Ancient Greece!
So true! I wear red lip stick when I want to make sure there is no gas lighting after I talk. They clearly could see my lips. I also tell people if a person doesn't follow through with their end of a transaction I will put my red lipstick on to come see them in person and no one wants that😂 My mom just about always pulls 'ur gonna put on mascara right'...
I have PCOS. I receive too much testosterone naturally. I’ve always been muscular and later on in life I grew a full on goatee. I was once very ashamed and would cry and do painful diets and hair treatments. I embrace it now and I LOVE me. I can’t even begin to tell you all the crap I went through with men and women, especially if they’re patriarchal. I am also gay. I am “butch” so the features I have don’t effect as much as maybe a women who wants to attract “trad men”. I have been told that some trans (female-to-male) people are legitimately jealous of my condition!? PCOS is nothing to be jealous of and I am looking into removing my ovaries for better quality of life I can def say LGBTQ community can be culty at times also
Been thinking about your last sentence and suddenly it makes sense the way that my brother's partner and some of the other LGBTQ community treat me. (I'm farther left, would consider myself an anarcho-socialist mostly). Everyone in the LGBTQ community is unique but I think that there's a certain subsection that kinda gets super *extra* on identity politics and also tends to enable really toxic behavior so long as no physical contact is made, but the second you so much hint at retaliation or putting your foot down on the toxicity, they scream you're being violent and controlling. I could be wrong, but I'm basing this off my own personal experience with like, 1/7th of the community I've met IRL and like 1/4th I've met online.
First, it's the dysphoria talking when you hear trans men say they wish they had PCOS, there are some other health problems that come with PCOS other than higher testosterone that they would not want. But they feel it would be easier than dealing with the medical system. Second, you have my greatest sympathy. The ven diagram of problems that trans women and women with PCOS have is practically a circle. And as a trans woman I can say I struggle with the damage testosterone has done to my body. Lastly, yes the LGBT community can be culty and toxic like any other community. Many of us were raised in those environments and have not deconstructed any of it. Sometimes coming to terms with your identity leads to beautiful self growth, others it makes you double down on everything that makes you miserable. you can tell which experience a person has had pretty quickly.
One of the features of the cultish behavior is the fact that those letters are even grouped together... Gender and sexuality aren't even close to being the same thing and yet they're force -teamed together as though there's anything categorically similar about them. Who you want to sleep with is a material fact, and Gender is in the imagination.
People also have weirdly specific hangups and controlling behaviors around who people are allowed to date. That's the strangest part to me because isn't dating enough of a nightmare already?
Fantastic video! I haven't been able to make it to book club due to being busy, but glad I could tune in here :) Also I really like you mentioning children here in passing, and how children are opressed by appearance control. That specfic avenue isn't a way I felt opressed by my parents, but there are lots of ways I felt generally opressed by society as a child so I appreciate the point you spoke to.
None of the men in my family hated red lipstick and no men's opinions outside my family phase me in the least and no man would dare to criticize me without getting an ass-chewing from me about boundaries. However, my grandpa hated it when I wore black lipstick tho'. Lol
I feel that a lot of girls can't pull off black lipstick, but most women can pull off red lipstick. Black lipstick has to go with a whole look, or it just looks kinda goofy. 😂
I've been seeing a lot of pictures and people talking about how fat women are unattractive and how you have to lose weight to get a man, and I've never had trouble with men nor liking my curves and shape of my body. And they say "it's your health it's your health, we're worried about your health!" But that's bullshit too because it's not about health because they specifically target women and not men because fat men are allowed to exist in peace in our culture without repercussions with leniency.
And a lot of the ways they encourage women to lose weight are wildly unhealthy, too! They'll swear up and down that they're "just worried about their health! Honest!" And then proceed to encourage the person to absolutely destroy their body in the pursuit of thinness. It's disgusting
Just curious, how do you reconcile your apparently progressive views on social relations and groups thought with your misplaced pride in being a tool of western imperialism. Or am I extrapolating too far, you do seem elated at the idea you revived a medal from Obama (known imperialist hegemon) on your website. You seem critical of capitalism yet have never stated the solution; I’m sure you can tell what my thoughts are on the matter.
You seem cool but could you wear a microphone or speak a little louder. I have to slide my volume all the way up on my earphones and it still isn't clear. Sorry to be the one to bring it up. So, we don't like women who wear make up and red lipstick because in doing that women are taking control of how they look. I grew up in a very conservative home and the women in my family have never worn any makeup. They even look down on women who do. I'm guessing this is also a kind of misogyny at work.
It's usually they want that 'no makeup makeup' look, they want women to look as if they are naturally, effortlessly beautiful to reflect well on them as the person who possess the woman. No make up or non-natural makeup gives the game away.
I hate red lipstick because it looks silly and gets on everything. But I'd nevee tell anyone to their face. That is where cult thinking and my thinking part ways, probably lmao
I would like to think I'm not particularly obsessed with controlling other people's lives. And, barring several what I think would be very fun and liberating acts of God (reason and accountability being MAJOR drags) But just from a pragmatic standpoint, as a dishwasher for a living: The stuff is kind of a pain to get out. I have to both hand-wash and machine-wash our coffee mugs. I've been told that a lot of that comes down to make, model, and price point. But I don't know anything about that.
Provided we stay in our lane, we are allowed to hate anything we want. So long as it isnt the same reason cults hate it. I feel that intent is probably critical here.
It’s powder that used to contain lead. Lead oxide is a white power and was used in everything. I read a story of a famous socialite in 18th century England renowned for her beauty who probably died because of heavy use of makeup. Beauty standards of the time required a perfectly white skin. Probably you meant mercury. I am not familiar with lipstick manufacturing but before modern artificial colors, oil paint in bright red was made with mercury sulphate.
White powder contained lead and used primarily on wealthy and noble men and women which also caused bleeding wounds and teeth to fall out. Not lipstick. Lipstick was made from a specific kind of louse which when crushed gave the red colour. To this day the really good red lipsticks use this since it’s just unmatched in colour.
@@KnittingCultLady Capitalism doesn't tell you to go no contact with family members. Patriarchy, just isn't a thing anymore. Sure, there are a few womanizers but that's a dying breed. What right does a male have that a female doesn't in the first world?
@@KnittingCultLady Capitalism doesn't say "go no contact" like the LGBTQ community does. Patriarchy just isn't a thing anymore. What rights do men have that women don't?

“Boys don’t like-“ immediately, I am disengaged!

Oh, that's so untrue. Men love red lipstick on a woman. It's like a mating sign. He didn't want you to flag up your sexuality
Sounds like an incentive to me
Why is this so pervasive?? I’ve been told this too! But I was like uhh, don’t care. I love my red lipstick. And my short hair. And my long ass nails.

You seem critical of capitalism yet have never stated the solution; I’m sure you can tell what my thoughts are on the matter.
You seem cool but could you wear a microphone or speak a little louder. I have to slide my volume all the way up on my earphones and it still isn't clear. Sorry to be the one to bring it up.
So, we don't like women who wear make up and red lipstick because in doing that women are taking control of how they look. I grew up in a very conservative home and the women in my family have never worn any makeup. They even look down on women who do. I'm guessing this is also a kind of misogyny at work.
I would suggest that wearing makeup is the control. Not wearing makeup shows you don't gaf.
It's usually they want that 'no makeup makeup' look, they want women to look as if they are naturally, effortlessly beautiful to reflect well on them as the person who possess the woman. No make up or non-natural makeup gives the game away.

I hate red lipstick because it looks silly and gets on everything.
But I'd nevee tell anyone to their face. That is where cult thinking and my thinking part ways, probably lmao
I would like to think I'm not particularly obsessed with controlling other people's lives.
And, barring several what I think would be very fun and liberating acts of God (reason and accountability being MAJOR drags)
But just from a pragmatic standpoint, as a dishwasher for a living:
The stuff is kind of a pain to get out. I have to both hand-wash and machine-wash our coffee mugs.
I've been told that a lot of that comes down to make, model, and price point.
But I don't know anything about that.
Oh, yeah. I hate it too. I think as two Joe schmo's, we are allowed to have our opinions. I have never tried to control anyone's manner of dress.
Provided we stay in our lane, we are allowed to hate anything we want. So long as it isnt the same reason cults hate it. I feel that intent is probably critical here.
Just because lipstick contains lead does NOT make women crazy.
Since when has lipstick had lead in it in this century?
It’s powder that used to contain lead. Lead oxide is a white power and was used in everything. I read a story of a famous socialite in 18th century England renowned for her beauty who probably died because of heavy use of makeup. Beauty standards of the time required a perfectly white skin.
Probably you meant mercury. I am not familiar with lipstick manufacturing but before modern artificial colors, oil paint in bright red was made with mercury sulphate.
White powder contained lead and used primarily on wealthy and noble men and women which also caused bleeding wounds and teeth to fall out. Not lipstick. Lipstick was made from a specific kind of louse which when crushed gave the red colour. To this day the really good red lipsticks use this since it’s just unmatched in colour.
You had me until "patriarchy and capitalism are cults" insanity.
One of them isn't a thing these days and the other is an economic system
@@BaronFeydRautha oh I’m gonna let the comments take care of you
@KnittingCultLady Or, you know, YOU could provide citations for your insane claims yourself...
@@KnittingCultLady Capitalism doesn't tell you to go no contact with family members.
Patriarchy, just isn't a thing anymore. Sure, there are a few womanizers but that's a dying breed.
What right does a male have that a female doesn't in the first world?
@@KnittingCultLady Capitalism doesn't say "go no contact" like the LGBTQ community does.
Patriarchy just isn't a thing anymore. What rights do men have that women don't?
@@KnittingCultLady Capitalism doesn't tell me to go no contact with family members like the lgbqt community does.
Rubbish.
