Women who know how to apply makeup minimally do not look like they are wearing makeup.

This is more or less what I am hearing from the makeup advocates who call themselves "traditional Catholics:"

Hmm...pic/quote didn't show....will try one more time:

Wow, what a rejoinder! You don't like being called out for your sanctimony, do you, Troll—or is it Trollette?

The fundamental problem revealed in this thread is not an excess of vanity or vainglory among Trad women or men. Rather, it is a Puritanical hatred of people who are simply more physically attractive than the complainers and who don't conceal their appearance with a burka or a paper bag with a pair of eye holes cut out.

And there it is at last: The inevitable charge of "Puritanism" (the refuge of every feminist libertine seeking independence from traditional morals and values), with references to Islam thrown in to boot.

I think is crazy how anyone here thinks it’s ok to refer to women as hotties, honeys, And sexy. You guys are smart enough to figure out a better word to use, and you are Catholic which means your held to a higher standard with your words. Please stop. Don’t make excuses. Just stop. It’s degrading.

Even if it is the woman, whose pursuit of sɛҳuąƖ attraction and superficial beauty, is the one degrading herself from the status of "lady" to "hotty/honey?"

Coming from a man who obviously doesn't know women.  Women simply want to be pretty and beautiful ... it's a natural instinct.  You transmute that into wanting to be "hot" and "sexy".  And so what if she wants to be "hot" to her husband or catch the eye of a potential future spouse ... provided that she doesn't cross the line of becoming an incitement to impurity?  And, yes, the charge of Puritanism fits ... or, more appropriately, Manichaean gnosticism.  Matthew has rightly banned a few posters here for such un-Catholic attitudes.  99% of the lunks who talk like this will in fact completely overlook even a saintly woman if they don't find her attractive.  So in most cases the charge of hypocrisy also sticks.

If only you could have been there to straighten the saints out!
Thank goodness for the traddy honeys, who donning their makeup have finally burst free from the fetters which held them manless.
They are now free to breed.
And they qualify to be an sspx new hotty as well!
There’s an old saying: “You can tell a proud woman, but you can’t tell her much.”
Spineless “men” like Ladislaus who don’t wear the pants in their own relationships end up becoming proponents of feminism as a mask for their own weakness.
Maybe Ladislaus could lead a makeup Marco crusade of strident trad women, while their husbands knit bloomers at home?

It is a scandal to see how many here abhor the teaching of the saints.

Of all the dangers and mountainous problems of feminism today, make-up is truly a molehill.  Much bigger fish to fry.
