Women do it because they enjoy it. There is no law that says you have to do those things if you don't want to.

Some women enjoy it, some do it because it's expected, and some of us hate it and avoid makeup, nail polish, and beauty products at all costs. To me it's a huge waste of money and time, and am so glad I don't have to use that stuff.

I do it because it's fun and I enjoy it. I don't really care what society expects me to do.

I wear makeup and nail polish because I like it. Not because I feel like I have to do it.

well when enjoy doing it sometimes. i don’t feel pressured to do so. but their are times when i don’t really care one way or the other and at those times i don’t do any of that stuff. i don’t feel pressured to be that way, i don’t need to do any of that to know i’m a woman. my ovaries are all the proof i need.

I don't enjoy painting my nails but I do it because it makes them look nice. I don't always wear polish on them, sometimes I just do a french manicure. I don't enjoy putting on make-up either, but I do wear it because I look better with a little bit on. I would rather get my nails done rather than do them myself, but I don't like to spend the money for something I can just as easily do at home.

I still enjoy getting ready for special events like weddings or big dates. The basic make-up stuff that I do every morning to go to work is more of a chore at this point. The novelty of that wore off sometime during middle school.

They do it because they are rewarded for doing it, that is getting male attention and enhancing self-esteem as a consequence of becoming more beautiful. This is why feminism does not like the heterosexual male, because straight men reward this behavior and propagate the marketing for it. For a woman to be truly independent, she may need to discard men entirely.

Women do this because it enhances their inherent beauty.
