Li Zhao explained: "I am not saying this to defend men, but to tell everyone that the normal pursuit of beauty is not a service of beauty."

"If the money you spend on cosmetics exceeds your pocket money, it's okay if it exceeds a little from time to time, as long as it's within your budget. There are always unexpected things."

"If you don't want to spend money on pursuing beauty, that's fine, just decide for yourself."

"But if you buy this today and want to buy that tomorrow, and you seriously overdraw your budget or even go into debt to buy, then you may not be trapped in the US military service, but you have fallen into the trap of consumerism."

"I also want to tell everyone, don't think that the patriarchal society disciplines women to wear makeup, not smoke and drink, which is bad for women, and disciplines men not to wear makeup, smoke and drink, which is good for men."

“Discipline is discipline. People should not be subject to these disciplines. Instead, they should grow into better people through good education.”

Li Zhao also complained: "These dogmatists love to take the words of certain people as the Bible and give advice to others everywhere."

"Here is an example to show you what is wrong with the words they take as the golden rule."

【Yuzhongshanguoluo】: It’s very simple. It’s certainly true that makeup is a means to achieve beauty. But think about it carefully. Who made you feel that you are not beautiful? Who told you what beauty is? Who said you must achieve beauty? Who promised you that beauty can bring benefits?

【Fruits Falling in the Rain】: It is a patriarchal society. It intentionally guides you to focus on your appearance, leaving you with less energy and time to focus on other important things... They kill two birds with one stone, satisfying their own male gaze while weakening the inherent power of women. This is the privilege of makeup in the eyes of some people.

Li Zhao's mouth twitched slightly: "The biggest problem with these two paragraphs is that they completely ignore the subjectivity of women reflected in makeup."

"It places women in the object position of a patriarchal society, allowing women to observe things from a male perspective, standing in the object position as women."

“Is it possible that women use makeup to pursue beauty not because someone makes us feel that we are not beautiful, nor does anyone tell us that this is beautiful?”

"Women don't wear makeup to get any special privileges or benefits. These things are secondary."

“Even if a woman asks for the privilege of wearing makeup, it doesn’t mean she will eat the leftovers given by patriarchy and give up her other rights.”

"My classmate also wears makeup, but she is a football player and has even been admitted to graduate school."

"Women are human beings, subjects, and have subjectivity. They will exert their subjective initiative and use certain methods or tools to perceive, understand, and transform everything in the world."

"It's human nature, and it's most evident in childhood and adolescence."

"For example, secretly using adult cosmetics, wearing adult clothes and shoes, picking rhubarb to paint lips, or putting on bed sheets to pretend to be a fairy, these are all ways to perceive, recognize, and transform oneself in the world."

“Makeup is a tool for women. Women use it to change the light and shadow on their faces and create different looks. When she sees that each of her reflections in the mirror is different, she seems to have discovered a new world.”

Li Zhao warned the audience in her live broadcast room: "My dears, remember that we are always the subject. We must stand in the subject position and observe the world objectively from a female perspective."

"The fact that patriarchy disciplines women to wear makeup and guides and manipulates women to fall into depravity does not mean that women who wear makeup are really disciplined by them and will really be manipulated by them."

"Whether women want to wear makeup or not, and how they want to look, is up to us to decide. Don't worry about male power or female power!"

Qingluan continued with the PPT: "Let's continue to see what this person said."

[Fruit Falling in the Rain]: You said that women wear makeup because they love beauty. But over the past few thousand years, don’t women love freedom? Don’t women love equality? Don’t women love education? Don’t women love to control their own destiny? Women love so many things, but in the end, the only thing that succeeded was “makeup”.

【Fruit Falling in the Rain】: Makeup is the only thing you women can do if you like. Women have been deprived of so many rights, and the only thing left is "makeup" which men don't even like to touch. You still want to wash it: This is because makeup is our "specialty" as women.

Li Zhao wanted to laugh: "They are changing the concept. They are expanding the concept of women using makeup to pursue beauty to women pursuing free and equal education."

Substituting concepts means expanding, reducing or replacing one concept with another during the reasoning process, resulting in incorrect conclusions.

Qing Luan added: "Generally speaking, women use makeup to pursue beauty, and women pursue free and equal education. These two coexist side by side and have no special relationship."

"They only intersect in certain situations, such as when feminists fight for freedom and equality and use lipstick to resist the shackles of patriarchy."

"There is no necessary connection between women's loss of rights and their inability to pursue a free and equal education and their right to wear makeup."

Li Zhao emptied his teacup and said, "Women are not successful in their pursuit of makeup, but they have failed in maintaining other rights and freedoms. The only thing left is the freedom and power to put on makeup."

"Even so, women who wear makeup are still subject to various restrictions in a patriarchal society."

"Little-known fact: the church in the Middle Ages was very disgusted with women wearing makeup. In the 18th century, Britain had enacted law to ban women from wearing lipstick. Until the 10s, many places abroad believed that only improper women would wear makeup."
