Do Mary Kay, Lia Sophia, Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Scentsy and other MLMs take advantage of women?

I don't believe these companies take advantage of women because it is their decision to purchase these products. It is their decision to attend these parties and host. I have hosted Silpada parties because I wanted new jewelry. I have had people who are genuinely interested in these products attend a party and purchase items. I can say genuinely because they have also inquired about buying more even after the party/demonstration was done. And those who aren't interested but are curious may attend the demonstration but don't usually buy. And those who aren't interested at all don't attend. The fact remains purchasing is a choice and some people really do enjoy Mary Kay. Some of these companies sell quality products which are pricey depending on the item but are worth it. You will not find a better foundation or facial cleanser than those sold by Mary Kay. I haven't used them in a while but I loved those products when I did use them.
