Men - The New Women Alert (Debbie Schlussel Slams New L'Oreal Girly Men Product Care Line Alert)

Men--the New Women--Alert By Debbie Schlussel

On this site, we've been following--with dismay--the ever increasing feminization of men in America. Two items, this week, are part of the continuing crisis:

* USA Today's Sports Section has been running full-page ads, like the one on page 6C on Tuesday, for L'oreal's new men's beauty line, called, "Men's Expert."

The products sound like they are for women. I find it a bit odd for any man to use "Circle Eraser Anti-Dark Circle Eye Moisturizer," or "Stop Lines Anti-Lines Moisturizer," or "Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Moisturizer"--all of which are part of L'Oreal's new line for women . . . I mean, "men." If "Vita Lift" sounds familiar, that's because "Vita Lift" started out as a L'Oreal Women's product and still is one.

L'Oreal for "Men" Invades the Sports Pages Then, there is the "Power Buff Anti-Roughness Exfoliator." Hello . . . men are supposed to be rough. No man should ever use exfoliator--unless his favorite song is by "The Weathergirls."

They try to make this stuff sound masculine by calling it "the Winning Team." Maybe what they really mean is, "Play for the OTHER team." This goop is anything but masculine. Somebody get this stuff off my USA Today Sports section. PLEASE.

And don't go to the L'Oreal men's website, unless you want to hear bad, effeminate Yanni-style music and see gay models. It's no coincidence that L'Oreal is FRENCH.

Cole & Dylan Sprouse: New Girlie-Boy Version of the Olsen Twins * Then, there are the Olsen Twins. The greedy gazillionaire girls are not satisfied with their gazillions--which apparently are not enough. So, to make even more, the've hired a new, younger set of girl twins to replace them as the spokesmodels of their Dualstar company. Except that the girl twins are really boys. They just look like girls. And it's by design.

The Olsen Twins told the Wall Street Journal that these girlie-boy twins will be marketing male beauty products for young boys like the ones L'Oreal is shoving onto men's sports pages. The male beauty industry for girlie-men is now cradle to grave.

Somebody stop them.

A beautiful face is one that expresses love and peacefulness coming from inside.

I've seen "beautiful" people of both sexes - perfect features and all that. But the eyes are like weasels' eyes - you can hardly bear to look at them. Like sharp chisels. That's a mirage of beauty.

I don't mean everyone who is physically beautiful is like a weasel. But it's just the external and the internal don't necessarily have anything to do with each other.

The homosexual propaganda is infiltrating every aspect of our lives with dire consequences for the very young and vulnerable. It is a trend that seems unstoppable.

but the campaign indeed is to make such unisex stuff SEEM okay, mainstream, even cutting edge cool. There is an agenda here, marketers play into it and advance it, whether or not knowingly.

The battle is for the mind. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood...."

Agreed.
