What if I have a daughter?
She'll think it's normal to cover her face when she "wants to look good".
What if I have a son?
He'll think it's normal for women to change their natural beauty to "look good".

Some women have called me "controlling" for having this view.
Insane frame, as I was upfront about this as being a *need* of mine in the relationship from the beginning.
I then describe all the ways I fulfill my girls *needs* & they're left speechless.
I love having a modest daughter! At almost 13, she gets it and like her mom she dresses sensibly, always! I may not have as strict a view on makeup, and my wife had her eye liner tattooed on when she was younger and single… to save time before work in a white collar job.
Neither wear heels either, flats, running or basketball shoes or work boots these days, living in the country. :)
I should add that I don't command anyone to do anything.
I explain that it hurts me emotionally & if you want me to think you look good you can't hide your natural beauty.
She doesn't wear makeup bc she believes she looks better that way.
Female peer pressure is tough, but I tell her if she cares what they think that's a sign of weakness & you're strong 💪.
