*UPDATE FROM LAST POST*
Not only did the woman delete my responses in that thread, but banned me from commenting……but luckily she responded and I have at least one of my original posts, where I was at least polite, but honest……yet still confused why she responded in such a way that is contradictory to the standards she supposedly claims to live by.
audiomind originally wrote:
“Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment……
Why do most women get breast implants???
[Why do most get body modifications of any and all kinds?]
If we reflect on the basic dynamics of the situation, it is primarily [and clearly] done FOR OTHER PEOPLE, NOT FOR THEMSELVES.
The modification may ‘enhance’ [originally, according to whom....society?] a certain aspect of your body, in all honesty what exactly does it enhance within one’s self?
Are we satisfying our own urges, or the urges of a society that has brainwashed us into thinking & believing in such a manner?
While you gave a good tongue lashing to those who perceive in such ways, you haven’t indulged those same people with the honor of understanding the reasoning behind such a decision [yours or otherwise], which would have given you the authority to quash their belief system which you describe as a “narcissistic…..patriarchal “dreamworld” we’ve been conned into believing.”
Though you require everyone to dismiss the stereotypical gestures, you haven’t given us a reason why those stereotypes are completely ignorant???
……for we all know that within most stereotypes, there lies a certain element of truth.”
in which ana responded with:
“as I’ve said, i don’t owe you any explanation.
and I’ve already written about this extensively for years.
why don’t you go out into the world and talk to a whole bunch of women who’ve had breast augmentation (i mean more than 3) and go figure it out yourself? i don’t have to spoon-feed you everything.”
wherein audiomind responded with [approximately]:
“In truth I have direct experience in such expressions of body augmentation, actually participating in paying for the breast ‘enhancement’ of a former GF, in my earlier days.
The rationale and logic behind most of the choices to perform such an operation, after speaking with those women I know/knew, was shallow at best!! [Which pretty much sums up why most humans do most of the things they choose to do, with the hope of 'impressing' themselves and/or others in their life. HOWEVER, that is a another story for another day.......which will most certainly confront the hypocrisy of my own existence.....fofl]
However, for you to insist that….’You don’t owe anyone an explanation’…., while chastising and belittling others who share diverse points of view and share with you their own explanations on a poll [where someone, also in response, wrote this awesome post] you created [only to use it as a social experiment, which is nothing more than saying that you were playing a shady & dishonest game] makes you yourself a little narcissistic and egotistic. How can you dismiss others with such a simple and negligible response without indulging them by better helping them emphathize with your position by helping them better comprehend why you personally made that choice, especially if stereotypical gestures bother you so bad?”

Thus, while happening upon another LJ user who posted in response to her as well:
“……its like you think you alone have the one special reason for getting fake boobs that at the same time makes us all inferior little slaves to your vanity.”
……audiomind responded with [approximately]:
“Agreed, to a lesser extent”
wherein ana responded with, after reading my reply to that person and thus banning me:
“oh, i remember you, you were the one who was whining like a little crybaby that someone was upset that you hotlinked their photo. you have to be the most pompous ass i’ve come across in quite some time.”
ONCE AGAIN……..AM I MISGUIDED OR WRONG, or of all things >>> ‘a pompous azz’?? Help me out here ‘SOUL’.
you just gotta luv hardcore ‘feminists’ &
ljdrama….fofl….
