I’m tired of people promoting sex work and plastic surgery as “feminist”

Adhering to the patriarchy is not feminist! And before anyone comes at me, yes, there are exceptions to this such as reconstructive plastic surgery, etc. And I would NEVER bash individual women for choosing these things b/c it comes from a place of wanting better for themselves. However, I will criticize the industry and individuals who positively promote it. And the reason I mention both sex work and plastic surgery is b/c they go hand it hand. Both exploit women (physically, mentally, monetarily) and reinforce patriarchal views of women. It also allows society to continue putting all of a woman’s value in her appearance. Notice how boys who watch porn perceive natural women who don’t have the “perfect body” as having less value. Thus resulting in women getting unnecessary surgery to obtain what they’ve learned gives them value. Someone is truly feminist when they don’t give a fuck about what a man thinks. And I understand not everyone has the privilege to not care and that it’s a learned behavior. But that’s what we should be promoting to young girls. Especially online where plastic surgery and sex work are essentially being encouraged. It’s dystopian to see how many girls create OF accounts and start getting cosmetic procedures as soon as they turn 18. Overall, I believe women doing what THEY want is feminist but the lines become blurred when wants are influenced by the patriarchy.
