I first posted this on week 6, but now its here. Im not sure what week we are on, but I am writing about the monologues (is that spelled right?) anyway, as per our discussion on wednesday, i still feel that a vagina surgery is not much different than other surgeries that help to make women feel better about themselves. However, I would go as far as saying that any type of surgery to enhance your appearence other than a health issue is not right. All of these issues of womens bodies resort back to a think pink mentality where the idea of beauty is defined by the media establishment. I was listening to Howard Stern this morning, and a woman was trying to get him to buy her breast implants. She said her breasts were the size of lemons. Believe it or not, Stern said she didnt need them becasue they were in proportion with her body. This reminded me of the movie Beautiful Girls, and a scene were Rosie Odonnell was talking about the fakeness of women in magazines like playboy and that in reality big women have the big breasts and big butts, and little women had little breasts and little waists. The scene was funny but it definitely rings with truth. As far as the issue of the monologues themselves, I am not as shocked as some of you, but I also don't deal with the same issues as women. However, I can say that my friends and I, do not compare penis's in the locker room like someone in class suggested but we do however joke about it being our brain, etc. I think on that issue, men are disgusting, and women do not act the same. Does anyone see where I am going here or am I alone?
