The core of the discussion centers on the "mask" women wear, both physically and psychologically, to craft desired perceptions. Cosmetics, hairstyles, and clothing serve as deliberate tools to differentiate women from men, creating an aura of desirability and mystery. These masks are strategic, designed to make women appear alluring and inscrutable, thereby enticing men into emotional or financial dependency.
This multidimensional mask peels back layers of superficiality to reveal how women cultivate a sense of superiority and control. The references to the meticulous routines of makeup and grooming illustrate an ongoing effort to perpetuate this illusion—transforming daily appearance into a form of performance art aimed at captivating the male gaze and maintaining social power.
