[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really doesn’t matter what the man thinks anyone.  It should always be what the woman wants.  It’s her body.[/quote]

On an individual level, sure. But when this stuff becomes commodified and reinforced over and over through marketing and social media as something a woman is expected to do in order to be (or remain) desirable, it’s a problem. We’ve got 10 year old hooked on skin serums intended for middle-aged women now. The industry is just priming the pipeline for future Botox customers. (Or facelift, eye job, whatever…) When we shrug it off as no big deal, we’re essentially making it more acceptable to pitch to younger and younger people who really don’t need it. [/quote]

It’s not a woman’s responsibility to deny herself Botox or a nose job because some younger person might then want it.  Do you feel the same way about makeup? Hair dye? Orthodontics? Fashion?  [/quote]

It’s not your job to deny yourself, but at least accept that you’re participating in a system whose existence depends on making women feel bad about themselves. All of those other things you mentioned are also part of it to some extent, but thankfully none of them involve general anesthesia or the risk of permanent disfigurement.[/quote]

It can also be part of a system that makes people feel good about themselves. We've never had as much control over our own appearances as we do today.

My breast augmentation made me feel like myself again after three rounds of nursing. Shame on anyone who would attempt to make me feel like a societal problem simply because I took advantage of modern medicine to look the way I did pre pregnancies.  You don’t want plastic surgery? No problem. But don’t try to shame me for my choice which has absolutely nothing to do with you.[/quote]

I never understand these “made me feel like myself again” posts. You are a woman who nursed three children. That’s who you are. You are not some teenager. [/quote]

Actually I am an adult woman who made the choice to restore the fullness of my breasts post children and my choice has no bearing on your life. (Also, the husband is pleased!)[/quote]

+10!  People need to mind their own damn business.  If you’re happy (and I’m sure your DH is) then good for you.  All the haters are just that, haters.[/quote]
