5. Sexualization is sexuality as performance and not a healthy, integrated sexuality

"One example of this is how we perceive breasts. Breasts are secondary sex characteristics, existing in part to give women pleasure. But when they are replaced by implants, breasts become homogeneous; visual stimulation for a men and a more numbed experience for women."

" But I don’t think it’s the greatest thing women can do for our souls, for the most part."

thanks BB. what women choose to do is there business. but with discussion, there has to be an honesty. we never get to get to the point of honesty. there is too much having to defend from the very beginning to really peel back the onion to get to the reality of it.

at every point, it is a woman giving up something important to be her authentic self. i never see the good, or dismissal in that
