So your arguments are "because it's been that way for thousands of years"? That basically amounts to cultural relativism. I would have figured a bunch of hackers ("disrupters") would be more willing to set aside thousands of years of tradition more easily that the masses of duped souls in the general population. Lesson learned I guess. Too bad.

In danger of feeding a troll - our arguments are not that it's been that way for thousands of years, but that it's part of our nature as self-expressed beings, and that the thousands of years of history and spanning all cultures is evidence of that.

I'd like to see your arguments on how putting on makeup is not like cutting your hair or shaving, or should we also "destroy" haircutting/shaving? I'm not talking about haircuts out of convenience, but the ones you do to look decent in front of your clients. Do you have long hair in a ponytail, convenient and haircut-free?

It's ironic how you call us "masses of duped souls in the general population" yet you're the one campaigning against a core tenet of expression as a unique human - the way we make ourselves look like the way we want to.
