37. It's paternalistic bullshit to suggest that adult women are not in control of their wants because
they are "mentally conditioned" to want things you don't think they should want.

My understanding is that most of these vaginal surgeries are to reduce unusually large labia in women who either find them unsightly, uncomfortable during sex, or both. And just as I'm totally in favor of a woman makes an educated choice to get a medical procedure, get laid or get pierced or tattooed, if she wants to get her labia trimmed I'll support her right to do whatever the hell she wants to her own body. Because supporting women means supporting their right to make informed, educated decisions for themselves, even if they're not the decisions I would make for my life and my body
