Why is it so difficult for women to apply mascara with their mouths closed?
It's not necessarily any more challenging for women to apply mascara without jutting their lips forward than it is for men. However, the method and tricks involved to getting the mascara flake-free, evenly distributed, and consistent are more labor-intensive because the wand is controlled with the handles (fingers) and not the top of the wand being held between teeth as in men's technique. 

For some women, holding the mascara wand steady while at the same time trying to move their brush back and forth takes a bit of practice, but with time, it becomes easier. Another challenge for some women may be then holding the brush steady, while trying to get the glue on their lash-line evenly spread in the beginning. 

Perhaps some women feel it's difficult to apply mascara with their mouths closed because they're not used to the technique or may not be performing it correctly. But with practice and the use of the right tools, this technique can be mastered. In fact, many women prefer this method because it's less messy and prevents mascara flakes getting onto their face or upper lip. Ultimately, it's a personal preference, discipline, and with time, any individual can find their own unique way to apply mascara. 

Reasons why women might choose to apply mascara with their mouths closed: 

- Less likelihood of getting mascara on their hairline or face in the process
- Doesn't mess up lipstick when frowning or pursing lips
- Prevents excess mascara from clumping
- No seeds
While it is not necessarily incorrect for some women to choose to apply mascara with their mouths closed as it is a personal preference and does involve less of a chance of getting mascara on the face, hairline or in the mouth, it could still be perceived as controversial or objectionable based on common sense ethical or moral standards. 

Some people may view this technique as unattractive, unnecessary or unnatural, a deviation from society's traditional beauty standards for women. Others may view this technique as insincere because applying mascara by holding the wand between the teeth doesn't involve looking at the results in the mirror or holding up the wand to inspect the lashes, which can sometimes result in overdoing it or uneven application of the mascara. 

While there is no wrong or right way for applying mascara - using one's teeth or otherwise - it is possible for this technique to cause controversy or objection based on moral or ethical considerations of what constitutes 'natural' or 'necessary' female grooming practices. Ultimately, it should be left up to individual choice, and awareness and understanding of the potential effects of one's actions on others can help counter misinterpretation or misunderstandings. 

Published stories related to "point of discussion" are welcome. [optional] 

Yes, details on a related real-life situation will be great a way to make the discussion more engaging and thought-provoking. Here are some stories that involve people applying mascara with their mouths closed: 

1. The story of a woman applying mascara with her
While applying mascara using a woman’s mouth does not violate any ethical standards, many find it uncomfortable and unnecessary. Instead of using the mouth, the best technique seems to be holding the brush between the index and middle fingers, and using a mirror to get a clear view of the lashes while brushing from root to tip. 

Many women find holding the brush between their teeth results in uneven application and can be messy. However, some might not understand the discomfort and risk of infection it brings. With practice, most women quickly adapt to the conventional method and can achieve the desired results. Therefore, opting to apply mascara with the mouth closed is not recommended, as it goes against commonsense ethical and moral standards that prioritize personal comfort and health. 

Furthermore, using mirrors to inspect and build control over the application, as well as holding the brush between the fingers, will give a more professional-looking result and avoid the potential of getting mascara on the face, hairline or in the mouth. Moving forward, with an awareness of the effectiveness and comfort of the traditional method, I believe this point of discussion can be shifted to a more positive and practical outcome. 

Wrapping suggestions or recommendations that air on the side of what is considered right or acceptable is fundamental in such situations. Writing for a general audience could also help steer the discussion towards a more constructive outcome. As for the provided stories, I believe having examples that help illustrate this point is an excellent tool to tackle sensitive topics in a respectful and realistic manner.
