There’s a kind of weird on tumblr that you’re only allowed to be as a woman. A woman that’s a bit weird on tumblr is almost certainly just a good normal person m, a man that’s a bit weird on tumblr is almost always a sex pest

I saw you say in the replies on one of your posts that “Attempting to change your body because you hate yourself will never be a healthy choice.”

I was wondering (good faith, I promise!) about this rhetoric in terms of things that are pretty easy to change, like getting a haircut. Like getting a cute short haircut to express a lesbian identity is a change to the body that will make a lot of women happier.

So, what’s the difference (to you) between that and a mastectomy? Or between that and attempting to lose weight so that you won’t be fat and you can love yourself? I have a couple of ideas but I was wondering what you thought.

Is it the unattainability of the final goal? Like, weight loss methods don’t usually work, or you can’t physically become another sex? Or is it that the actions you take — starving yourself or getting a mastectomy — are physically harmful?

It’s the irreversibility combined with the fact that it’s physically harmful, and the fact that the end goal of living as male is either impossible or unsustainable for most women.

Instead of comparing haircuts to mastectomy, compare it to other major cosmetic surgeries.

Breast implants, BBLs, major facial surgery. I’m against all of these, because they’re physically harmful, irreversible, and come with significant risks to your health.

A woman with healthy self esteem and self worth wouldn’t feel the desire to have these procedures at all, leaving aside situations of genuine disfigurement. Women are essentially coerced by society into thinking they need and want these cosmetic procedures.

Because of all that, there’s a huge risk of regret. And elective mastectomies are no different.

The brilliance of objectification as a strategy of dominance is that it gets the woman to take the initiative in her own degradation (having less freedom is degrading). The woman herself takes one kind of responsibility absolutely and thus commits herself to her own continuing inferiority: she polices her own body; she internalizes the demands of the dominant class and, in order to be fucked, she constructs her life around meeting those demands. It is the best system of colonialization on earth: she takes on the burden, the responsibility, of her own submission, her own objectification.
