Coke Talk's lowdown on someone for running down breast implants.
With your skanky brand of gender politics, of course you don’t see the point. Fuck you for even suggesting that it has anything to do with what you like to grope.

Having been of the same opinion that fashion in general and boobs in particular were all about me -- that since I thought they looked and felt funny people shouldn't get them -- I appreciate Coke Talk's sentiment a lot more now than I would have then.
Same would be true if I instead thought implants were sexxxay. They're still pretty much almost never for me.
That's not to say that as well as perfectly good and perfectly neutral reasons there are plenty of questionable reasons to get implants. Or other body modifications. Just that those reasons for questioning it have nothing to do with my personal opinion, my personal judgment, or my personal preferences. Or anyone else's.

Humans have always screwed

I've always found it interesting how people condemn different body modifications. Breast implants rarely get the "you'll regret it when you're forty" reaction, for instance, or the "you're unemployable." OTOH, very few people call people with tattoos "fake."
The "you're a slut" (if female) and the "you're just doing it for attention" remain constant, though. I hate that second one. Y'know what, if I lived in a world tattoos were as unremarkable as earrings, I would still want a tattoo, because I think they're awesome.

Yes! Nicely put, Ozymandias!
I've never regretted getting my tattoo. Althought 35 years later I do wish I could get it cleaned up. It's blurred and faded so much, and it was too finely detailed to get touched up now.
