Newsflash: Men with eyelashes are now considered very feminine.

The manly men who wouldn't be caught dead with lashes are now getting them shaved off or trimmed as a way to preserve their precious manhood.

Trending TikTok videos show various dudes sitting in a barber's chair with their eyelashes getting trimmed, and it's baffling the internet.

Let's remind ourselves that eyelashes actually serve a purpose as a natural protective barrier for our eyes. They are the first line of defense against debris, dust, and other small particles.

TikToker @billybeebaddestb*tch said as much in response to the latest trend, writing:

"Eyelashes are not their [sic] to show masculine or femininity, they are needed to protect your eyes!"

The TikToker said of the "toxic masculine men" subjecting themselves to this operation:

"This is a whole new level of stupid. What’s next nipple removal? Ridiculous!"


@billybeebaddestbitch

Eyelashes are not their to show masculine or femininity, they are needed to protect your eyes! This is a whole new level of stupid. What’s next nipple removal? Ridiculous! 😳 #toxicmasculinity #masculinity #masculine #feminine #crazy #trend #wtf #omg #sick #eyelashes #beauty #menshealth #mentalhealth #insecurities #menoftiktok #fyp #shocking #badidea #awful #scary #toxicmasculinitycheck


The video received over 36 million views.

To show this wasn't a rare scenario, the account posted another video showing another guy with his lashes being shortened "to try and look more masculine."

The caption reads:

"No they are not doing this so that their eyelashes will grow thicker and longer."
"They are doing this because of toxic masculinity and thinking that they look more masculine with their eyelashes shaved off."


@billybeebaddestbitch

Social media users were dumbfounded.

X (formerly Twitter) also had plenty of examples of the anti-lash fad.

Social media users are wondering if the cishets are losing their minds.

Buzzfeed wondered if this was an actual trend or a case of rage-baiting.

A barber who posted a video of himself taking a trimmer to his male client's eye claimed he was the only one who requested it.



When the barber polled his clients, 98% said they wouldn't be interested in trimming their lashes.

Readers, what are your thoughts on this?

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
