It is a shameful way to treat human beings in an effort to make them conform to a rigid idea of attractiveness. How is it that plastic surgery of all kinds is commonplace and we bow so easily to the pressure to conform? Perfect boobs, perfect teeth, prefect nose.. it is scary how much pressure is put on us all to be "beautiful". What ever happened to feminism?<br /><br />It's time to get MAD and get loud my sisters.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748894261495542028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988207137883820005.post-89960557400427992922011-05-08T00:23:32.874-07:002011-05-08T00:23:32.874-07:00You know what bothers me the most about this whole...You know what bothers me the most about this whole story? Everything this girl has done, she has done because she has been told that she should do it. But every line in that damn article finds fault with HER. It's her fault she was too fat. It's her fault she is now too thin (despite doing everything one is supposed to do after WLS). It's her fault she lost her baby. She used to eat too much, now she doesn't eat enough.<br /><br />Blame, blame, blame, blame all at this young woman who has done nothing but try to be what society tells her she should be.<br /><br />Breaks my heart.Sleepydumplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13301673308868272260noreply@blogger.com
