Why Women Wednesday
Witizens,
It was only a month ago that I was sitting around the table for Thanksgiving with the family and friends, and it was in the company of two of my sisters, my sister-in-law, and a neighbor that the talk of tummy tucks, liposuction, implants, and nose jobs came up. All of them had had "work done". I was the only ostracized ostrich at the table who refuses to get "corrective surgery", so I just silently ate while they talked about getting sawed up and stuffed with saline. It was when my sister-in-law said she wanted a nose job that I finally unsilenced myself by pointing out that one correction to the face would lead to countless of other corrections to various other parts of her face. I asked them, and now I'll ask all of you this: Why, Women don't you leave your bodies "as is"? Why are you opting for "corrective surgery" as if something is wrong with your bodies? Why not proper eating and exercise?
I'm not perfect, and I'm sure no one believes they are... If they do, that makes them imperfect already. However, the dream of a doctor making you perfect after surgery is indeed a dream. Women, wake up. Once you fix that "one little imperfection" on your body, chances are you'll notice another imperfection, and another, and so on... and so on... Just stop! It annoys me that what was once a Hollywood trend has spilled into everyday peoples' lives as well, with housewives having "work done" and teenage girls wanting "work done". Why has everyone gone mad? Is it too much Nip/Tuck and Dr. 90210? Is it too much of watching Desperate Housewives? Why, Women, have you fallen out of love with your own self image so much that you'll let a doctor butcher your bodies in the hope to look better?
The most confusing aspect of all of this to me is that married women get work done against the objections of their husbands. If your man thinks you look great, why go under the knife? Isn't he the one you want to be the most beautiful for? Isn't he the one paying for it? Isn't he the one that will help you while you're healing? Isn't he the one that will have to deal with you if the doctor botches the whole thing? Why isn't his opinion that you are "just fine the way you are" enough?
Truly,
