120. Ok, in deference to you and yours, Society (including you and I) has norms that are not fair.

Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 04:00 PM by ShortnFiery

Suffice to say that if a man shows up for a job interview with visible eyeliner, it would not be considered "a plus" to many employers. That's not fair but it's a societal norm. Further, I'll admit my bias that if my daughter brought home a boy who wears eyeliner, that would be "a red flag." I'm sorry, perhaps someday it will be as acceptable as tattoos are now, but not yet. :shrug:
