What is: Why can't lesbians diet and wear makeup at the same time??

Now, I've got nothing against gays, but I do disagree with this assertion that women wearing makeup is an "archaic and burdensome sex-based stereotype". Most of the women I know wear makeup for themselves, and for other women. While a man may consider a woman to be unattractive without makeup, it is women who pick at and denigrate each other until they conform to their own silly rituals.

From a purely business standpoint, I've always felt that any employer has the right to dictate a persons appearance or dress code. If they want to act as a representative of your company, and interact with the public, then you have the right to dictate how they appear. It is the same principle that gives us the expression, "He has a face for radio." If you don't like it, go get a different job.

Still, I'm not so certain that the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals is going to agree. It would be interesting if they outlawed such appearance based sexual discrimination. Just imagine the ramifications it could have in Hollywood, if movie producers were no longer allowed to dictate how actresses appear in their films.
