Can’t remember if you’ve covered this product before, but for a product aimed at men to address a similarly “created” problem: http://freshballs.com/

“Fresh Balls: Fnally, the solution to a problem men have suffered with for generations.”

(Potentially slightly NSFW dialogue in the auto-play video, if you work in a place where you don’t want the phrase “sweaty balls” repeated ad nauseum in your work cubicle.)

whether or not it’s a scam, there are still plenty of plastic surgeons capitalizing on and encouraging women’s insecurities about the shapes of their nether regions…. seriously not cool. also seriously not cool that i read these things and dismiss them as ridiculous and STILL CAN’T DEFEAT THAT CREEPING SENSE OF PARANOIA THAT MY HOO-HA MIGHT BE FUNNY LOOKING AND MAYBE I REALLY SHOULD BE CONCERNED! goddamnit.

What do you mean by evasion? Dismissing social problems that don’t affect us allows us to evade thinking about our own social privilege, but it doesn’t do a thing to end oppression.

The mannequins with “implants” are just bizarre. Makes me think of the mannequins at the local Forever 21 clothing outlet — these mannequins, we noticed, have breasts in 3 sizes: about B-cup, small A-cup, and completely flat. They tend to group the mannequins in threes so it’s usually fairly obvious that 1 out of every 3 has a completely flat chest. (The store doesn’t carry juniors sizes and the models are all wearing women’s clothing.)

Also, there seems to be less neuroticism about it in America, but I have seen products marketed in Asia for for bleaching one’s nipples — specifically intended to turn darker-pigmented nipples “pink”. I’m sure something like this product already exists for your girl parts as well, but the whole idea of bleaching your most sensitive regions is wince-inducing.

Her butt is also, um oddly mishapen and I think elongated.

Political correctness: evasion masquerading as sensitivity.

Her shoe is still on. How could she take a stocking off with her shoe still on?

AR: Maybe you should try actually reading what I wrote next time. Your response is so ignorant of what I said that I can’t even respond.

I’ve seen mannequins without faces!

I wonder if there is some secret plot to convince us that having a face is abnormal…

Well, that’s not really an “ideal” at all, is it? What you’re describing sounds more like “decent,” if even that.

Being at the edge of the physically plausible is part of the point of ideals. They give you something to shoot for. If you set them too low you’d run the risk of actually attaining them and being complacent, and that’s terrible. Nobody became a master artist or artisan, or changed the world for the better in any meaningful way, by aiming to put in a little more effort than mundanity.

Whether anyone should be devoting that level of effort to achieving their conception of ideal genitals is another matter, but far be it from me to tell them they shouldn’t try, if that’s really their thing.
