Actually the handsome raised a very interesting point regarding cosmetic surgery and the increase in the number of clinics providing treatments such as liposuction,tummy tucks,botox injections and breast enhancements etc.Is this just a western woman thing or do women all over the world participate?

bydand.... I am pondering whether I should respond this or not... obviously an ignorant question! just a hint for you... it's MEN who participate most in this stuff - they manufacture it, advertise, they own the industry, brainwash women/girls (even make ups and thongs 10 year old girls), they validate it.... etc etc. most women would dump this shit in a second if the patriarchy didn't make them feel like the only thing that matters is that they look like stupid barbie dolls.

I don't think that only shallow, looks-obsessed women go for plastic surgeries. Sure, if a woman has a barbie doll as a role-model and has numerous surgeries just to look like it then she should undergo a psychotherapy. But there are millions of women undergoing plastic surgeries in different countries who do it to correct something about them they're dissatisfied with. My friend had an ears correction. Nobody noticed that at work, but now she's free to wear a ponytail instead of letting her hair down all the time.
Plastic surgeries are no different from going to a beautician. It's great if you don't need them and it's sick if you are obsessed with them. Claiming that men invented them to control women is naive. Do we wear make-up, go to hairdressers or spend time removing hair from different parts of our bodies because men expect it from us? Come on, they are not that complicated. Us being the opposite sex is enough to turn them on.

you completely missed my point canim  I haven't claimed any of the things you said.
yes, of course people want to take care of themselves, but the extent to which women feel pressured to "take care of themselves" is not just their own imagination and a big part of is is men's expectations.

Oh that!  Well, any women who feel like growing up to men's standard should simply get naked - that's way cheaper than going for a surgery and the risk is smaller too (unless it's winter and they are outside)

awww poor you, waiting for someone's post to make yourself feel better, and try to lower down our self-steem... Not this time little man, i happen to agree that surgery is good when someone needs it (either men or women), and sick when someone is obsessed with it... fortunately for me (and my incredible good-looking boyfriend), unfortunately for you, God made me amazingly gorgeous enough , so i dont need any surgery at all...    ... and we have to be realistic, men always put looks first to choose their girls, in exchange we look inside of men to chose our lover... No wonder why we see many couples, where the girl is really good-looking and the man looks like a slob... (well... sometimes the opposite can happen hehe)...

Why should I?
It is a well known fact that behind all those sayings about freedom, equality and blah blah, all feminists want one thing which is to be on the top.
Even Simone de Beauvoir, apperantly, confessed that before she died.
I remember reading this survey a couple of weeks ago about women who call themselves feminists. it was found that 60 % of them were hairy, 76% of did have short legs, 84 % did have small boobs, 96% of them did not have a partner at the time of survey.
No wonder why they are so bitter!! |
Glad I don't meet those criteria (or most of them anyway)!
