The PIP breast implant scandal grumbles on. The company that manufactured these implants has now gone out of business, so that door is closed for any affected lady seeking redress. The good news is that those who paid for their implants with a credit card may be able to obtain compensation from their credit card company under the consumer credit act.
The thought has occurred to me that these ladies chose to undergo unnecessary surgery for reasons not related to their health, and that a degree of personal responsibility is perhaps not inappropriate.
Why do women seek out this procedure? It would be tempting to think that it is to make themselves more alluring to us males but this does not seem to be the case. Surveys have shown that those who have breast augmentation are motivated mostly by reasons of self esteem, and what we blokes think is largely irrelevant. Nor are males particularly interested in boobs that have been enhanced and it seems to be the case that men prefer the natural, and are happy with whatever their lady happens to have.
Perhaps the idea that men are totally obsessed with ladies’ chests is a misperception, a misunderstanding.
Very brave to be upsetting uno who. Oooops, typo.
ReplyDeleteOver the years working with some well endowed and some less well endowed ladies I have noticed that although they insist we males are obsessed by boobs it is in fact the ladies themselves that are obsessed by their boobs. They then try to put any blame or fault onto us - and we fall for it.
ReplyDeleteAs Grumpy RN says, what makes you think we actually give a toss what blokes think? Are you that self centred?
ReplyDeleteWe're constantlty berated on TV and in the media for being too fat / too thin, too small chested, too ugly. Sadly women are still judged by their appearance rather than their ability to do a job or intellect or raise a family. The pressure on young girls is enourmous. Those of us who are getting on and a bit more worldly wise tend to care slightly less albeit that some feel the need to do anything to retain their looks and try to "stay young".
Pah... I've turned into a bra burning ranting feminist, but alas you managed to niggle me again. Damn!

"what makes you think we actually give a toss what blokes think?"
DeleteThat's exactly the point I was making, you don't and we know you don't. The other point I was making was, what makes you think we blokes actually give a toss if you get enhanced. Read the links.
Why let reading the links get in the way of having a good emotional rant? :-D Let's face it, most blokes will shag anything. The point is that society brainwashes us as females to conform. People will judge you on your appearance.
DeleteTBH females are probably worse for doing this than the blokes.
As I mentioned in a previous post, people are nicer to me now (male and female) since I lost a bit of weight through changing meds which does my head in :-(

For example off the top of my head...

SFD, now don't you worry your pretty little head about it. Just make sure your lipstick and mascara are on and go and make my tea.

Wow, I did actually think this post would bring out the sexis argument in the comments. But eleven whole comments without a single 'get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich' joke?
ReplyDeleteImpressive. Most impressive.
I am of course the original Dr DD Superbra :) . I don't think any woman needs a implant. A Wonderbra does all kinds of jobs in one uplift
