Well, I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but here goes anyway......
I do think a boob job is a big deal. I don't know or really care if Kim has or hasn't, but I don't compare it to coloring your hair at all.....It is surgery. You are putting something into your body that doesn't belong there.
Ok -- I know, when you color your hair, you put chemicals on your hair that might not be good for you either. I'll give you that. But in my mind, putting some chemicals on your head doesn't seem nearly as invasive or risky as implanting little packets of saline or silicone into your body. I don't know--- I could be wrong....
I also think it is just one more thing for our young girls to feel inadequate about. You're supposed to be stick thin, with gravity defying boobs, big pouty lips, etc..... Blah --
Also, these things are trends. Soon, it will be fashionable to have a flat chest... so then are all these girls going to have them removed, and have breast reductions? Way to much unnecessary surgery! Great for the plasitc surgeons, but not for our daughters, sisters, friends, etc....
It's not that I don't think anyone should ever have any kind of breast surgery. But far too many girls are doing it now-- and many of them young girls. Maybe if some young ladyreally had no boobs to speak of, and it was really messing with her self esteem, then it would be ok to have some modest implants. And of course anyone who has dealt with breast cancer ought to have the option of reconstructive surgery. Also, breast reductions can benefit many women who's chests are just too big and cause pain. There are many valid reasons for wanting and needing this surgery. But I think too often it's because 'I'm only a B cup, and I want to be DD!!"
One other thing -- since boobs jobs have practically become the norm anymore, the other thing I don't like about them is the expectations it gives our young men. I have 2 boys, and I don't want them thinking that is the way a real woman looks. I watch tv, and som many of these women with huge boobs, are wearing these low cut, skimpy tops, that is your boobs were real, and that big, you'd never be able to wear. When you are really a D cup, you need a bra. I am a D cup, and the only time my boobs have ever stood on their own like that, was when I was breastfeeding my babies, and they became engorged. And that was PAINFUL!!! Maybe that's why alll these boob jobs bug me so much. They just look painful to me!
Ok --- getting off my soap box now. Sorry -- But it upsets me when people act like it's no big deal anymore. It is a big deal. And, I woke up really early this morning, and can't get back to sleep. This is what happens when I have too much uninterrupted computer time!
