Guerilla Vulvas Take on Vaginal Rejuvenators

[ismnotwasm]

Vulva-activism is alive and well–and on its way to Las Vegas.

The latest protests stem from concern about the growing number of practitioners performing female genital cosmetic surgery. The surgeries take many forms. A labiaplasty reduces the size of the labia (while often performed to correct damage to the labia during childbirth or to alleviate discomfort, appearance has been given as another reason why women elect for the surgery); a “vaginal rejuvenation” tightens the vagina; and hymenoplasty (also called hymen reconstruction surgery) creates a “hymen replacement.” There are complex reasons women seek out these procedures, but two top surgeons told Womens eNews that negative comments from male partners are the number one reason women request the surgery.

Ok, look, I'm a nurse and a strict no unnecessary surgery kind of a girl in the first place. In the second, WTF? While to me, this is inherently sexist and destructive, I mean there are women who don't know the difference between a vagina and a urethra trying to make judgment calls on what constitutes an 'attractive' vulva, I want to make sure I'm reading what I'm reading here in this embedded link;

"It's widely known that men today are experiencing more open awareness and discussion of their sexual problems and needs. Proof of this can be seen in the frequent advertising and availability of new medications such as Viagra®, Cialis®, Levitra® and other. Women are now experiencing the same thing. There is a societal evolution currently occurring about how men and women perceive each other in areas of sexual expectation, SPECIFICALLY when it comes to sexual performance and appearance.

Simply stated, women, like men, want to "look good". This is a perfectly normal self-expectation. Woman today, can usually achieve this prospect through labia reduction surgery, at a reasonable cost."
