  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Again, I agree with you, you basically repeated and expanded on the point of the person I replied to. Like what you're giving me is a good anthropological analysis.

But if you asked these women why/how they got to this point they would not say "well I'm just commiting to my performance of being a woman to appease the male gaze"

For one thing, most of them probably still hold agency to themselves despite the fact that it seems clear they are doing this to appease men. They would most likely have explanations for all their changes and who/what influenced them.

A terrifying probability is that these women literally get told by their spouses/others that if they don't get these specific surgeries they won't be able to do something. If it's that then I would like to know who specifically tells them this and what they tell them.
