Jezebel reports that men are embracing the aesthetic grooming rituals of women and utilizing makeup, waxing/hair removal, and skin care products.
1000 people in the US & UK were surveyed and the results showed that 12% of men use eyeliner, 45% wax and have undergone laser hair removal, and 60% of those surveyed use “women’s skincare products”.
In addition 51% of men carry “man bags” 16% wear sarongs, 12% wear women’s jeans, and 72% believe that children shouldn’t be taught outdated and repressive gender specific roles/behaviors.
Buzzfeed has compiled a list of plenty of male celebrities that love wearing makeup such as Russell Brand, Adam Lambert, Dwyane Wade, Johnny Depp, Cristiano Ronaldo, and many more.
On the bright side ladies and gents, men are taking care of themselves. Hopefully back hair will be fully eradicated!
On the other hand, ladies may soon have to compete with their boyfriends over who has the best purse.
But everyone wins in believing that no matter you’re gender, you should be allowed to wear and dress your body however you choose. Your body your choice.
Gender roles and stereotypes need to be annihilated, and the new generation is fostering that.
