Breasts and Business

There's no getting around the fact that the subject of plastic surgery is linked to gender discourse. In 2011, women accounted for nearly 92% of the people to undergo plastic surgery, though the numbers for men are on the rise. As a result, it is still fairly accepted in many circles to malign those who undergo plastic surgery since, even though they technically outnumber men, women are considered second class citizens. While our country has made great strides in social acceptance of minorities, subjugating women and judging them for the ways in which they differ from men is a nigh-on national pastime. However, this embarrassing vestige of times long since past are seeing strange reversals as women begin to break their social shackles-using the very tool that men invented.
One of the most powerful techniques men have ever come across in making sure that women do not overcome them as the hegemons of our culture is that of denigrating them as simple sex-based conveniences. From casual interactions to multi-million dollar ad campaigns, casting women as vapid sexual gratification machines is one of the hallmarks of sexism in America. That being said, women have found the loop-hole in this gender warfare plan, and plastic surgery is apparently playing a large part in it. Men's tendency to view women in this way is no calculated plot, but simple weakness of gender. Men are more easily seduced into thinking of someone as nothing but a sexual object, and now women are starting to drop the hammer. Highly successful women can use this to their advantage in business dealings and, thanks to everything from face-lifts to breast augmentation, women have found a way to use their sexuality to subvert the male gaze into a weakness rather than a tool of oppression. Men's drive for success, as is reported nearly every week in some profession or another, from congressman to CEO, is easily disrupted and sometimes irreparably damaged by their reproductive drive. Breast augmentation and similar procedures encourages men to think with the head that will leave their job vacant for a woman to move in.
Many women find this way of thinking disgusting, that the women who pursue such a shrewd strategy is merely encouraging men to think of them as lesser people who cannot conquer the corporate world without using their bodies. Despite this, there is growing support for the thought that breast augmentation, weight reduction, and other cosmetic surgeries are viable career investments that take advantage of men in the same way that they have been taking advantage of women for years. Turnabout is fair-play, as the saying goes.
