It’s odd isn’t it , society dictates how different genders should dress, accessorise and beautify and if you break the rules you’re in trouble because without rules people have to think
I wear a lil bit of mascara sometimes but shhhhh |

Totally, we get dictated by society and conditioned loads by people around you. |

When my son was young he always nagged to have his nails painted but his father strongly disapproved. I bought my son nail varnishes in colours he liked yellow, green and blue and would paint his nails for the weekend and he absolutely loved it. My ex husband put a stop to that through comments and negativity and I always resented him for it.
In a not too dissimilar way I get judged in my profession for being a senior manager and having tattoos on display. I remember my first tattoo was on my wrist and I was told that it was career limiting. I am not the sort of person who takes those comments lightly and have since had much more ink and my career is successful.
Then again I am in a old fashioned sector and I am often told I dress flamboyantly because I add a pair of leopard print heels to my corporate work wear

I think you should be able to design your own look without limitations. What should fashion and style end at your wrists? |

My little brother used to ask me to paint his nails and let me put jewellery on him. I have so many cute pictures of it from when we were kids. He's still grown up to be a "lad". Not that there would be anything wrong with him growing up to be anything else. It's just amusing that some men think their masculine identity and sexuality are so fragile they can be taken away by something so small. |

I totally agree with you. It's an expression of who they want to be whether just for a brief time or longer term and it so disappointed me to see it shunned... it caused heated discussions believe me x |

This was the case with my son too. He used to love his nails done when his sister and u did ours. His dad would make scathing comments and he stopped getting them done eventually -whilst looking on with longing in his eyes. |

The worst for criticising this is other men.
I've had mine done a day or so before an event so had to go to shops or service stations etc while as a guy and women have often commented on how they like them where men are the ones who give the dodgy stares and a couple of random assholes have come out with derogatory comments.
I now have one thumbnail done in metallic grey (last 3 weeks) and have endured comments and stares at work for all of that, men are just scared of anything or anyone not like them and try to bring everyone down to their boring bigoted level  |
