Free to Be Me Childrearing

it does appear that men tend not to care as much about wearing make-up as women.

In our Western culture that may be true, but it doesn't apply to all human cultures. In some, it's men who wear the make up.

That would be interesting to flesh out the discussion. Which cultures?

A well known and clear-cut example are the Wodaabe. They are nomadic herders. But there are examples across many cultures (including our own) of males adorning themselves in various ways. Only a few hundred years ago, men in Europe wore face make-up and almost as much jewellery as women.
