replies to an old survey
Dear straight men who wear makeup,

I am sorry that I offended you.
I did not mean to imply that you cannot wear makeup.
Please accept my humblest apologies.

ruefully yours,

katie

Ok, so let me explain the above letter of apology. I don't know if you remember a post I made on 11-11-04. It was a survey I ganked from sambumbia .

Here is one of the questions, followed by my response:

current makeup (if you're a girl!): Alright, I have a problem with this question. What about transvestites and transsexuals? I am boycotting this question out of respect for those men who want to be women. Oh, you narrow-minded survey-writers...I'll get you yet.

Now, as you can probably tell, my response was meant jokingly. Yes, I do believe that men (of any sex or gender) have as much of a right as women to wear makeup. But no, I did not mean to imply that only transvestites or transgendered men can wear makeup. Any straight guy who wants to can wear makeup. Furthermore, I do not forsee that I will ever really "get" the survey writers.

Anyway, this meta-post does have a point. Today, some three-plus weeks after the survey, I recieved notification of a reply to said post. Check out the reply and my response here.

Please, feel free to reply either to this post or to the controversial survey post. I'd like to know what you all think.
