Plastic Surgery and Feminism

I hate how some feminists try to police women's bodies because their choices are "influenced by the patriarchy". Everything is influenced by the patriarchy.

If I grow up and decide I want a nose job, because I think it would look cute (let's say I had a broad nose or something), yes, that would be a decision influenced by the patriarchy. Society sets up unfair aesthetic standards for women. But I'm grown. I can make decisions.

If I decide to wear a really short dress, sure, that's a decision influenced by the patriarchy. The choice of style was popularized by sexual advertisements and modelling, designed to arouse men.

But most of these feminists will also say "I don't dress/wear makeup for men". How can you not understand how surgery is the same?  Also, I completely believe you can dress/get work done/wear makeup completely for yourself. I think the real problem is women acting like other women are dumb because they want to make their own choices.

It's a disturbing parallel to sexist talking points. As if women don't know that misogyny is influencing their decisions. As if they don't know that they're already beautiful.

I saw a post where Kylie Jenner replied to a TikTok comment asking about her boob job, and someone said like "We're never escaping misogyny" and it had a shit ton of likes. Like. Yeah! As long as there is a distinction between men and women, as long as there exists proof that women are in any way weaker than men, as long as people have free will, misogyny will exist. A women deciding to get a boob job is the least of your worries.

They act like women who get these surgeries are babies, poor little victims. They are grown women. They can make decisions. If they want to get a whole face of Botox, that is their decision. You do not get to police people's bodies. It really pisses me off!
