Woman Gives All Women Beauty Tip That Men Are Not Going To Like

I love me a good beauty tip, mostly because I'm fascinated with the art of modern magic that is makeup. You can just do so much with it. People can transform into just about anything with the power of a good makeup-do. It's actually a miracle how you can get 2 hours of sleep and somehow wake up looking like you've just stepped off a runway.
And although I'm not one to really doll my face up with cosmetics (not that there's anything wrong with it, I just barely give enough time to combing my hair, let alone putting on a face) I'm a sucker for great beauty advice and am fascinated with the process because the work that goes into getting skilled at makeup is insane. It's just mind blowing what some people can do with a bit of foundation and 10 minutes in a bathroom. It takes most people upwards of 30 minutes to do what some of these makeup marvels pull off.
But this one beauty tip that Sarah Day posted on Twitter doesn't take any time at all, and actually started an important conversation:
QUICK BEAUTY TIP FOR LADIES: Decrease fine lines and under eye bags by not doing emotional labor for men today.

If you grew up in a patriarchal dominant family like mine, it always seemed like the emotional needs of men took precedent over women's, and judging by the response to Day's tweet, I don't think my upbringing was much different than anyone else's.

— Filipino Kitchen (@filipinokitchen) November 21, 2017So Day's message, although brief, is a powerful reminder that there are many different levels to equality.

<whispers> Not all men are bad. Too many women make bad choices.
— Andrew Smith (@meejahor) November 21, 2017While others were simply convinced she hit the nail on the head.
Thank you I have found my religion
