My attempt at translating this question to regular English: Are extremist feminist females “ugly” because they don’t wear makeup because of patriarchy and are “so feminist”?
(Cut out some parts I thought were redundant)
No you’re missing his misogynistic point: you’ve got the beginning but it’s a chicken -and-egg question, the second half translates to “or do they become extreme feminists because they’re ugly?”
This is such an old-fashioned attitude, it’s the reason Kewpie Dolls were used in “vote to help Mother” ads by the Suffragettes, who were similarly portrayed by their enemies as unmarriageable, ugly, unfeminine and mannish. So old the ad poster was on Antiques Roadshow.
Oh…god I sprained my brain rereading it three times trying to reinterpret the last part. But yeah, the last part does seem to be asking if they are ugly and don’t use makeup because they are feminists. I thought he was just adding extra words to intentionally confuse people.
Revised version:
Are extremist feminist females “ugly” because they don’t wear makeup because of patriarchy, or are they feminists and don’t wear makeup because they are ugly?
Trying to read your post gave me an aneurism.
