Reply #10: She represents to me everything that dehumanizes women [View All]

She had surgery not because of a life threatening situation or because of an accident but because she wanted to fulfill a certain fantasy-mindset held by certain men. She wasn't good enough as she was to "measure up" to the physical requirements. There are no mental or moral requirements, obviously--this mindset often requires that a woman not have thoughts of her own, or discounts what thoughts she does have. All that matters is a willingness to please.

This is why many more women than men have eating disorders. This is why so many women have a false sense of what their bodies really look like. This is why a smart woman has so many more hurdles to jump over when it comes to a job, etc.

And you know what's funny? The men in MY life don't like the women that look like that. They all have said they want women with more curves (normal women) and more brains.
