And I'm tired of rich people (minority) running this country too.

That's not everyone's idea of feminism. Feminism does not immunize you from judgment about how you use your freedom and choices. It does not relieve you of responsibility, especially if your choices affect other women and society at large. If a reasonably good-looking man were to have a potentially dangerous,

This feminist says "shut the fuck up" right back, because the OP wasn't criticizing the woman for getting plastic surgery. She was criticizing a feminist website for covering a plastic surgery video without any kind of feminist context.

I'm sorry, but no one has the ability to "make choices without fear of judgement or societal repercussions." People who make believe they can do whatever the fuck they want without repercussions or judgement very likely have some sort of antisocial personality disorder. This is neither a feminist thing nor an

I'll take an interesting face with all its emotions and scars and weird eyebrows and acne scars and droopy jowls and thin or fat lips over a 'model' face anyday. Call that MY idea of beauty — if you like — but I'm fine with that. :)

On a possibly related possibly unrelated note: she doesn't talk with her "new" face. Which obviously isn't because she can't, as she does a little when it's still swollen. But when she's really showing it off in the scenes with the nice lighting and all, she just sits silently. That was the creepiest part for me,

I really struggle with this. I don't think it's a feminist decision. Does that make her not a feminist? I don't think so. Not every decision we make has to be 100% feminist. I wear heels. That's not feminist. Someone else took their husband's last name. That's not particularly feminist either. Does that make any of us

Whatever this woman does to herself is perfectly fine with me and has nothing to do with my or anyone else's feminism. The fact that Jezebel is promoting this is beyond fucked up. That's NOT jiving with my feminism. I don't come here to get schooled on how to look more beautiful or how happy I could be if I looked a

That was stunning, amazing and all of the things I wanted to say. Thank you.

It's one thing to want to and go and have plastfic surgery. It's another for a online magazine newspaper with a feminist agenda to be PROMOTING it. I'm actually quite gutted by this. Like, what has it come to when even Jezebel are like 'yeah, women - make yourselves a bit prettier would you?'.

I think it's click bait. As a guy, I never want a woman to feel like she needs surgery, just as much as I don't want to feel that. Life is better and deeper than that. It is. It is. It is. If we want to work on things, let's work on our massage-giving skills, or our conversational topics, or our generosity to

I'm not down with this "anything goes" thing I see many, typically white, feminists always espousing. Anything Goes Feminism doesn't mean that some women who want to critically think about and discuss things done by women need to just shut up. Fuck that. I don't give a single solitary fuck what this woman does to her

Ah ... 'reputable'. That's the key. And as Mark points out: we're so overwhelmed by the bad plastics tales, I guess it's difficult — for me at least — to see the wood from the goddamn trees, on occasion.

Right. Agreed. Totally. That which I do not understand is the reason for which we are watching a beautiful woman transform herself into a more conventional idea of beauty on Jezebel. No judgement about her decision but rather the decision to place it here when it is exactly the message we receive all day, every day on

OH MY GOD. I can't. Come on, Kara. You're stuff on race is really good, but this is some teeny-bopper bimbo feminism 101 shit. I mean, you said Nicki Minaj's Anacoda was devoid of the male gaze. I don't even know where to start on how cringe-inducing that is.

I'm all FOR women doing exactly what they want, but when did society decide that picture-perfect model looks were The Right Looks and that what you were born with wasn't okay? I mean: we get all this SHIT pushed on us on an hourly basis — even if you don't read fashion magazines or tabloids, it's THERE with the

Hilarious. (BTW, I posted that comment, twice, since it doesn't seem to show up on the main page! ETA: now it is; thank you).

Someone disagreed with your opinion and thus called you a "bitch" and you apologized? It seems to me that Gemmabeta could apologize to you.

She also looks less "ethnic" now, and more like a standardized ideal of "white" beauty which makes its inclusion in Jezebel all the more puzzling. Let's celebrate "good" plastic surgery? Just come to New York or San Francisco in which places everyone is becoming eerily symmetrical. I do not "get" at all the reason for

I'll admit: I clicked through so I didn't hear everything she said (oops).
