Genuine Question

Why do many people view men painting their nails or wearing makeup as wrong? My parents told me it was not good as a man to paint my nails and someone at my work made fun of a guy for having painted nails, but I don't understand why it is only wrong for men. To my knowledge, it does not go against any religion or have any logical reason behind it.

tf I always paint my nails, is there any problem with painting nails? 💀

I do not beliveve this but most people do that its feminine to paint your nails

Because historically its seen as thing women do. Same as wearing dress or lipstick etc.

it’s just ugly ngl

nothing wrong with it. People are just not used to it. plus conservative people tend to dislike them (or worse, despise them) because back then, when their mind was still malleable it was probably an outrageous thing to do.
i see it as a self-care more than anything. sort of do what makes you feel good unless it goes against something major.

Who cares what ppl think, just go for it.,

It will pass and won't be subject in some time, same as wearing earrings years ago.
It's just a thing that nowadays it's happening more than before so more conservative people are reacting.
