Nothing strange in fact that industry aimed on controlling how women must look is held by and "invented" by men.

Back in the 1920s when these modern fashions took off, mostly because of cinema, very few women had professional careers so men did many jobs we now think if as women's.

The hairdressing industry is also held and "invented" by men for much the same reason.

I notice that many rad fems who drag others for wearing makeup themselves colour and style their hair. What's the difference?
