I'd argue our comments and discussions and griping about it are contributing factors to said self-consciousness and body image issues as well. Especially when it's all but being done by us right to their faces.
That being said, at least some of these instances are done because the woman herself wants it, which I can't and won't argue with. Not my body, not my problem. The old stuff's still there and there's not exactly a shortage of other women to cum to, especially these days.
You think telling people that they look best when they're their own natural, healthy self, that they don't need to needlessly risk their health and finances to be more attractive, that they are already attractive just the way they are...
You think that's what's messing with these girls' self-image?
I think you're blaming the wrong group of people.
Honestly, when I was growing up and in high school this was what the feminists defended and what I was taught by my mostly female teachers. That women didn't need to butcher their bodies to appeal to men. But somehow that's now changed and it's the opposite.
āTheir body, their choiceā... well, yeah, duh, that goes without a saying. I have never seen anyone argue otherwise. It's a very popular straw man.
The thing is just because you have a right to make an idiotic choice, doesn't mean you should.
Are you also against the people who advice against smoking, being morbidly obese and binge drinking? Everyone's entitled to do those things. Doesn't mean you should. Doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid when you do it. And if you care about someone who's making those choices, I'd argue the most humane thing to do is to try to convince them to change those unhealthy habits.
All these plastic surgeries... they're not healthy. I won't get into how it often leaves horrible, nasty scars, or how their lips look like they're having a very unpleasant allergic reaction, or how their liposuctioned, bumpy stomach looks like they have parasites inside, or how when the stomach is unnaturally stretched and flattened it looks like cured leather, or how the stretched out face makes them look like a washed out 45 year old junkie that's trying to fit their face through a tight hole..., because apparently there's enough people that don't find that as revolting as I do, so I'll admit it's subjective aesthetic taste (one from a sick society, but I'll shush) but I do think the health risks and the complications of the surgeries are more objective and can be more easily advised against:
A short snippet from the article:
Breast Implants are not considered lifetime devices. The longer people have them, the greater the chances are that they will develop complications, some of which will require more surgery. There is no guarantee that you will have a satisfactory cosmetic outcome from any reoperation.
This is what happens when you take those unhealthy foreign objects from under your breasts:
āHer body her choiceā, but I'll bet she wishes someone had warned her about the consequences of that choice she was making.
And it's not just breast implants. Most of these surgeries only have a temporary effect, which you need to reapply periodically, making you a slave to the plastic surgeon.
Check this out about lip injections (which you need to reapply every 6 to 18 months):
In less obvious news, however, Grossman recently alerted us to a hidden downside of maximizing the mouth. āWhen you repeatedly enlarge the lips ā pumping them up as big as possible ā the filler can act as a tissue expander, permanently stretching the skin, and causing the lips to sag and deflate when the filler eventually degrades, leaving you in worse shape than when you started,ā she explains. Since this isnāt a textbook risk or complication ā like, say, swelling, bruising, or a rogue lump ā doctors rarely discuss the potential long-term pitfall with patients, she adds. Should you be left with loose lips as a result of habitual overinflation, the only remedy is
lip reduction surgery ā that is, trimming away the excess skin, which can leave significant scars.
Or liposuctions:
Or the BBL:
(their comments on race are pretty racist themselves and VOX are a bunch of hypocrites but the rest of the articles is interesting).
All these cosmetic surgeries are an unnecessary burden on your health. I can understand and respect people who have birth defects or bad accidents or small, low risk yet permanent solutions (like for the ears or teeth, for instance), but butt and breast implants, most of the time on girls that already had breasts and buttocks that were completely fine, or liposuctions on people unwilling to go on a diet or naturally thicker girls...
Stuff that makes you a slave to the plastic surgeon for the rest of your life, unnatural looks that make all the teenage girls depressed because they'll never have that duck face, shared societal delusions that are ruining people's mental health...
I think you can argue against it from a rational point of view, without that making you an incel or sexist or meaning you somehow feel entitled to decide over women's bodies (and it's pretty annoying when supporters argue otherwise).
If men started to get penis enlargement surgeries en masse that meant they had a slightly longer schlong but couldn't get properly hard anymore or needed a medical device to get them 75% erect and they needed to go back periodically into an operating room to keep an increasingly dysfunctional penile arrangement going āwhile recognizing their right to damage their own bodiesā I'd also argue and advise against it.
