The epitome of waste from financial mercantism is the cosmetics industry. Using tons of oil a year to produce unnecessary products to satisfy one sex’s self-perception is an unspeakable waste. The clothing industry is another example. Do you know how much the lesser sex spends on clothes and cosmetics per year? It would make you vomit.
Cosmetics Industry as capitalist waste

Be careful not to conflate luxuries with waste, I agree that the underhanded marketing and lack of regulation in the make-up industry are a disgrace, but we don't want to get rid of makeup or any other "useless" thing that the consumerism aspect of capitalism appears to pump out.

50% of people will understand what you just said.
The other 50% are women.

hot take
makeup looks bad
almost everyone looks better the less makeup theyre wearing (ideally none)
its bad for your skin
its expensive
its not sexy
its just used as a way for women to compete with each other
if your face matters so much spend that money on skincare at least
Jack Carter
lol are you retarded or being intentionally divisive because you don't want girls in your secret club
the entire cosmetic industry is an incredibly minor fraction of any countries production or use of oil that is completely eclipsed by transportation, mining, logging, power generation etc.
you should be critiquing the wastefulness of shipping half baked products back and forth across the ocean to cut labor costs and fuck over the worker not bitching about someone elses hobby that has no meaningful effect on you

Women purchase makeup as conspicuous consumption for other women. Did you know that men find women without makeup inherently more attractive than without makeup? It’s literally to impress other women.

Fucking christ can you faggots keep your whining to the containment thread.

Feminism and fascism. Should we call it femscism or feminascism?
