  • What about the removal of an ugly facial wart or mole? One that's not malignant or anything, just hanging out on the end of somebody's nose... making them look like the Wicked Witch of the West? Is having it removed a sin of vanity? Or is it only sinful if you try to conceal it with make-up? What if your dermatologist isn't even Christian, let alone Catholic. Or a feminist? Or (egads!) a flat-Earther?

  •  :facepalm:

    Contacts can be medically necessary.  Ask anyone with keratoconus or a high amount of astigmatism.  Glasses can't correct these problems in the way contacts can.

  • Even a child can distinguish between grooming and hygiene on the one hand, and cosmetics on the other.
    Grooming for males may include shaving; grooming for females may include cosmetics.

  • And it's perfectly OK for people simply to want to feel good about themselves.  What if I have terrible teeth and that in turn makes me want to smile less, and it impacts my social interaction with people because I'm always self-conscious?  It's OK for someone to want to be able to smile and not be self-conscious about it.
    Brushing one's teeth so as to not have "brown teeth" is in the same category as a careful application of make up to cover a scar from skin cancer or undereye dark circles.

  • Are there any other moronic attempts to confound hygiene and grooming with cosmetics?

    Probably.

    No, certainly.

    I leave you to your misery.
    The only way "moron" comes into play here is the "Women should not wear makeup" post.
