Thematically speaking I don't mind the lipstick on my female toon, who is pretty much a mule,
however, I get that sick feeling in my stomach when lipstick or a dress drops from a crown crate. I was talking to my GF and
even she feels the same way when something drops that is meant for males (beards etc). I can sympathize with her
reasonable feelings on the topic because it feels like a waste of money. I try to make all my characters have an
established style that works for their personality, I'd rather the money spent on crates go towards them.

Although I don't care for lipstick and dresses, I do like the eyeliner my elf wears, but
really though its not "eyeliner" on him, its deep black eye sockets although I get a lot of heck from people about it, but I think
elves can pull something off that a Breton or an orc would look silly in.

Twice now I have had to explain to people though that he was not wearing makeup, it was just deep black eye sockets.
When they say "no" its eyeliner, I have to stand my ground. I mean TECHNICALLY it is, but it's not supposed to be.
Ohh well. I guess some people wont accept the role play scenario I made up to use eyeliner on my elf.

Generally speaking though, as I said I don't like to acquire items that traditionally are worn on females for my male toons,
especially cosmetics or outfits that look ridiculous on male toons. I think its a bit unfair as females often look fairly
normal in male attire (in my culture its not normal for men to wear traditional womens attire as its not
designed to flatter the male body. That is why clothing exists in some forms, to flatter the body. If I could
elect to not have makeup or traditional female attire drop in a crate, I would make that choice. I might not use a
regal fly pet on my Breton or, orc, or elf...but they are pretty cool on argonians. They seem to theme well with them
so it does not really bother me, but dresses and lipstick (and frankly tattoos) always give me that buyers remorse feeling.
