I'm not saying every woman who has cosmetic plastic surgery is a self-hating misogynist. I am saying that it's no coincidence that 85% of the people getting it are still women.

As one of those woman seriously considering cosmetic surgery, I can tell you that it has very little to do with self-hatred or misogyny.
For me, there's something about my body I don't really like. I've always felt like that thing was just out of proportion and uncomfortable. As a result of that thing, I can't wear certain clothes, do certain activities, etc.
As a result, I'd like to change the thing. And I can. And I guess I will, not as an act of self-hatred, but as an act of self-love.
So, you see...cosmetic surgery is just really expensive masturbation!
