Intrasexual competition. Also, many enjoy it. You don't have to. My daughter doesn't. Not been arrested yet. https://twitter.com/pookietooth/status/956962227231207424 …

Hours to apply makeup? How about 5 minutes?? Besides, lots of women enjoy wearing heels and applying makeup.

But it's because of the social status it gives them, not because it's inherent to being female. Symbols have social meanings, and heels and makeup are symbols

Deal with it. Many people like to keep up with fashion. I try to keep up to date with what I am writing about and social nuances and cultural shifts too. We are social mammals.

You're passive-aggressively blaming me for being "out of touch" with current fads - you do realize that you're actually proving my point, don't you?

I don't care if you engage with culture or not. What point does that prove?

You're proving that gender roles are imposed by culture and groups of people, and that not conforming is stigmatized and opens the person up to bullying and stigma

No, I'm not. I'm just saying culture exists and people can choose what bits to engage with. You are not being bullied or stigmatised by being told to deal with other women's choices.

Choosing not to "engage with culture" as you put it has costs, social and economic, and of course also, depending on context, may not even be a choice (such as a child forced to fit social roles)

Choose whether to take them? You can't force people to approve of you. Just let people do their own thing.
