I\u2019ve heard of it before, but I wanted to stay in denial. Now, faced with an article in the July issue of Allure magazine, I stupidly read about \u2018labioplasty\u2019 and how popular it is among women in their 20s. This was a true WTF moment for me. I mean, WHAT THE FUCK!<\/p>\n

Dr. Christine Hamori<\/a> explains in the article why women are moved to have plastic surgery on their Special Area. Sometimes, they just want to look a little smaller\u2026less bulky. Sometimes, they want to look better in tight pants. Sometimes, they just want to be more symmetrical.<\/p>\n

The doctor is asked if the popularity of the Brazilian Wax is the cause of so much insecurity about the Special Area. Actually, insecurity is my word, not hers. She avoids that word, choosing to talk about aesthetics, as if she were talking about square-tip fingernails vs. rounded ones.<\/p>\n

Call me na\u00c3\u00afve, but what the hell makes someone\u2019s Area \u201ctoo bulky?\u201d By whose standards are we judging such things? I\u2019m wondering if I should have gone to gym class instead of ditching every day. Who are these people with body parts that \u201chang down?\u201d And if their parts are not like some porn star\u2019s, why do they care so much? Are men now fixated on a small crotch, and how small are we talking about? Is this some pedophilia-influenced trend?<\/p>\n

God, this is so fucked up. Much more tragic than anything I\u2019ve heard in at least 24 hours. If I had a daughter, I would drop everything and go explain to her that her body is sacred, and I would mean every word. How funny that western women decry genital mutilation for African girls, and yet seek the services of Dr. Hamori .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
