Feminist Makeup Tutorial (PARODY)



I thought it was a cute look.

From the channel:
This video is supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek parody on some of society's crazy stereotypes of feminists. it's honestly not supposed to be serious or be taken seriously.

And if there are any people who doesn't understand it is a parody and gets upset, well... Then their problem isn't feminism, if you catch my drift.

ridicule and then, dismissal, without thought. ignorance is comforting, for some. truth, too scary.

but, it was a clever video

things will remain calm and peaceful over in their camp.

Did you see her video about make-up for women in Congress, Sea? That one was snarky as well.

How would a cold shower warm you up, Sea? It is awful that your house gets so cold. That is one part I hate about these winters. It feels like the cold gets into your bones.

Oh, I just meant that she made another video, too. That one was about women in congress, in the same way this video was about feminism.

I learned a lot about eye shadow and eye liner and have been empowered to experiment more with them. Ha!

I very rarely wear make up but, when I do, I want to look as fabulous as she does

It left me with a big smile on my face when it was done, because it worked on multiple levels. I'm so glad you felt the same!

She's also done a make-up tutorials for women in congress. That one is very entertaining as well, but I liked the feminist one the most. But maybe I should hunt it down so you can have a look?
