I get what you’re saying, but they also have a point. Yes, men can wear makeup, but there are many reasons a lot of guys actively refuse that option. Are any of them “real”, no, but considering the social nature of our species, even the ones that aren’t “real” still matter to us
It’s as “real” as your name is “real” and is really your name. It may not be a large object visible to the naked eye but it’s still a solid thing stored in neurons of many physical brains.
Can you imagine the response from a woman after your first shower if you were good at applying makeup and used it all the time? “You… you lied to me! Wait, are you gay? I’m so confused right now.”
Oh, shit, that’s right, make up is chemically corrosive to men’s skin, we can’t use it.

That’s the most “well actually” comment I’ve read today.
