Cosmetic surgery or Genital Mutilation?

05/27/2007 by Debra

Patients who sought genitoplasty “uniformly” wanted their vulvas to be flat and with no protrusion, similar to the prepubescent look of girls in Western fashion ads, pornography and on genitoplasty web sites.

Wonderful, what adult woman doesn’t want to help fulfil her partners daddy fantasy by looking like a little girl in her “special area”?

*excuse me while I go throw up

Here is a site that offers these procedures, and here is some of what they offer

Labiaplasty (labia reduction & beautification) and other female cosmetic surgical procedures including Vaginoplasty (rejuvenation or tightening of the vagina) and Clitoral Unhooding (Hoodectomy)

Here is the WHO fact sheet on Female Genital Mutalition
Type III – excision of part or all of the external genitalia and stitching/narrowing of the vaginal opening (infibulation);

Hmm kind of hard to spot the difference.

Oh wait I see the difference the first is FGS while the second is FGM. So I guess all they really need to do is change one letter and hey presto they aren’t committing an indignity they are providing her with low cost plastic surgery. Maybe they could open shop invite a few North Americans over and in one swell foop become respected surgeons.

Female Genital Surgery (FGS)—of which Vaginal Plastic Surgery is part—is a demanding surgical field

According to a Swedish study;

RESULTS:47 women had been operated, more than 50% had been operated at two or more occasions. 11 patients had only vaginoplasty done and in the remaining women it was combined with clitoroplasty. The cosmetic appearance as well as the function of clitoris and vagina are often not optimal. There is also a need from these patients to be able to discuss former surgery, especially since it was common in this group to state that the functional result has influenced their sexual life negatively.

From the surgical site;

8. Could labiaplasty cause insensitivity?

There is no physiological association for sensory pleasure with the labia—that function is served by the clitoris. The only sensation elicited from labia is pain upon tearing or stretching. Labiaplasty can’t cause a loss of sensitivity when done correctly.

There is no sensation for pleasure in the labia??? Obviously spoken by someone who doesn’t have any.

and this assertion is repeated in CAPS just in case you didn’t believe it the first time. But it is ever so much more believable now that it is in bigger letters

14. I have read that after labiaplasty a woman can experience lifelong sexual arousal problems. Is this true?

No!! This is a common fallacy and it is completely wrong. The media, which at times misinterprets accurate medical information, commonly helps propagates this rumor as a means of creating controversy or sensationalism. It is well known MEDICAL FACT that the labia have sensory nerve fibers that ONLY transmit pain sensation, when stretched or torn. There is NO SEXUAL STIMULATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LABIA MINORA.

The surgery to shorten the vagina boggles my mind. Really this surgery can surely be done for one reason only, to make him feel like he’s bigger than he is. And I suppose too it harkens back to the doing it with a prepubescent. I was just sick a little again.

In short ladies love your lips whatever size and shape they may be. Each and every vulva is a unique and beautiful thing and does not deserve to be sliced and diced.

If you are unfortunate enough to be saddled with someone who expects you to look like someone else cut him out of your life not your labia.

Putting it on the line

05/26/2007 by Debra

MonetlineAurora Mayor Phyllis Morris is campaigning to have clothes lines designated “as a good, a service or a technology,” this would enable home owners and tenants to bypass developer and landlord restrictions.

Think about it, clothes lines are the original solar powered home appliance. They help to conserve energy, and are another way to fight global warming.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment says that a standard clothes dryer consumes 900 kWh of energy per year, creating up to 840 kg of air pollution and greenhouse gases.


Ontario Energy Minister Dwight Duncan was not available to comment, but a spokesman said Aurora is the only municipality to have issued a formal complaint.

Lets rectify that! Write your council, your mayor, your MPP and the Minister of the Environment.

And if you don’t live in Ontario don’t let that stop you!! Be the first to start the campaign in your area.

Occupation: bullshitter

05/21/2007 by Debra

According to Stanley Bing and his book 100 Bullshit Jobs … and How to Get Them, blogging is a bullshit job.

Blogger

According to the book: “Skills required: ability to upload thoughts, vapours, resentments, insights, lack of insights, rumours, stuff you’ve heard, stuff you haven’t heard. Must possess the impression that one’s quotidian brain activity is of interest to others. Helps to be funny but when that is impossible, being hateful often suffices.”

According to J. Kelly Nestruck, a Canadian journalist living in London who blogs at fence.blogspot.com and for the Guardian arts blog (blogs.guardian.co.uk/arts): “The monetary earnings of my personal blog have not been great, which is why it could technically be called a bullshit job. But the personal rewards, oh, they’re innumerable: new friends who I only know by pseudonym, the thoughtful and entertaining debates with commenters over exactly how big an idiot I am, the huge number of hits my Google search now results in…. The downside? Well, there was the girlfriend who left me because she said I loved the Internet more than her. On the whole, though, I wouldn’t give up the past four-plus years of blogging for anything. Because I’m addicted. I’m seeing someone about that.”

G&M

huh, some of my best friends are pseudonyms.

Texas wanna be bomber indicted

05/17/2007 by Debra

Paul Ross Evans, 27, was indicted Tuesday for attempting to use an explosive incendiary bomb on the Austin’s Women’s Health Clinic.
Evans faces one count each of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction, malicious attempt to damage a building, and possession of a destructive device by a convicted felon. He’s also facing two other counts related to the incident.

Interesting take on the story at LifeNews.com [and by interesting I mean OH PLEASE!! What do you think you’re over the top rhetoric is going to come to?]

The charges against Evans include malicious attempt to damage a building and property by means of explosive and fire, possession of a destructive device by a convicted felon and two counts of use and carrying of a destructive device in relation to a crime of violence.

Abortion advocates attempted to turn the isolated incident involving someone unaffiliated with the pro-life movement into a political statement.

“We live in fear of anti-choice extremism,” local Planned Parenthood CEO Ken Lambrecht told News 8 in response to the incident. “We perform routine quarterly drills for bomb threats. We had one this very week, and our clinic is constantly aware of a potential threat.”

But Texas Alliance for Life director Joe Pojman said that pro-life advocates are peaceful people and that any political movement has individual vigilantes that act on their own wrongheaded ideas.

“We get painted with the same brush as someone who is a criminal. We only condone peaceful legal activities,” he said.
