Outie Navel Piercing

Cosmetic Vagina Surgery. What the Fuck, Y'all?

Apparently bikini waxes and piercings aren't enough anymore, and now voluntary surgery is the new black. Before I read up on vagina surgery, I would never have guessed what a “good vulva” looks like, but now I know. And I’ll warn you, don't look it up, because no matter what yours looks like, you’ll be second-guessing your vagina afterward. In a nutshell, plastic surgeons have decided that you need enormous trout-pout lips on your face, and utterly invisible ones on your vagina. Now, when people ask me “Are you an innie or an outie?” I’ll forever wonder if they’re referring to my belly button or my vagina.

And either way, my answer will be the same:

If you do decide to get a vaginostomy because it will make you feel more confident and it’s a decision you’re making strictly for yourself, then more power to you. Make it bigger. Make it smaller. Add a laser and a margarita dispenser. Go wild. But if you’re considering having painful and dangerous surgery simply to fulfill the imaginary expectations of a society fixated on making everyone in the world look like a Barbie (from head to vulva) then maybe do a little soul-searching first. Your vagina is awesome, and don’t let anyone tell you any different.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to shave my pubic hair into a giant middle finger.

Bonus: While we’re on the subject of body acceptance,

So glad you're speaking up on this. It is one of the most offensive calls for "beauty" I can think of.

Another one: My 16-year-old neice came over to my house in the middle of a fight with her mom. My neice was defending her choice to shave her pubic hair into a landing strip because the boys at school were asking her if she had one for them to land on. Defending herself, she yelled, "Yeah, well, Kate is doing it too!" (Kate is 12.)

How will we move beyond this ever tightening circle of horrifying expectations of how we're supposed to look?

My artwork takes this on by showing women of all shapes and sizes as beautiful. You can see it at

Ditto what "mysticsleeper" said! (ok, except the religion part because imo freedom of religion ends where someone else's body begins and cutting off part of HIS penis isn't protecting HIS freedom of religion one iota). If an adult person (male or female) wants to have their genitalia surgically altered, well, that should be up to them although I happen to agree that it's a tad on the insane side and I am sure as heck not doing it. It shouldn't be pressured or forced on anyone, however, including infants.

ckuhes: pierced outie

Not without notifying the FCC. You can't transmit anything on a licensed frequency without .... a license. There are plenty of devices that work in unlicensed bands, i.e. where you don't need a license, like most cordless phones or WiFi, but these still need to be tested before sale to make sure they don't interfere with things outside the band even if it's not a radio. Look for the FCC Class B logo on the back of your iPod and LOTS of other devices... I have a mac desktop with Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and I can't open my files and or folders, it also will not let me "right click" or save bookmarks. Do I need a norton anti-virus or can I get this thing to fix itself. Sorry if I am on the wrong forum but it is a bit confusing and I am 66 years old and it's a feat just to operate on of these. thanks.
