Makeup

Are women fortunate because, unlike men, they can cover up their flaws with makeup? 

Or are men fortunate because, unlike women, they are not expected to have no flaws?

Good question.

I think probably a bit both ways.

I think one difficulty is that once you can cover up "flaws", where do you stop in trying to achieve perfection. It's like a video I watched about a painting that had been over restored. They had probably tried to touch up one blemish here and another there and got carried away to such a level that they had overpainted the whole painting. Fortunately it was possible to clean this off and reveal the original painting underneath, which only had some minor damage.

Or autotune...
