The reason doesn't have to be biological, but rather could easily be about power -- these women do a better job at elaborating than I ever could: http://rabble

Where does the power differential come from? I alluded to that in one of my other comments. It's tragic that the author of that article thinks that the only alternative to "femininity is about looking pretty so men can objectify you" is "femininity is an illusion of the patriarchal society". Not even an attempt to bring the conversation away from physical appearance, with an unnecessarily cynical interpretation of the no-makeup thing to boot; I always assumed that was about discovering, "hey we're beautiful without makeup after all", which you'd think the author would be in favor of. I'm not going to watch the video (because I find videos annoying), but if it's more of the same I'm not going to regret it at all.
