I'm just wondering if there is some feminist analysis for the current fashion for lip fillers. I don't want to slate the women who are doing it, just understand what the hell its all about!
My thoughts on it are:
- it must be porn related?
- are they designed to look like labia on your face?
- it seems to be some obvious expression of sexual availability?
- I've never spoken to a man who finds it attractive so that's confusing
- it seems to make women look 'vulnerable' and low in self-esteem somehow, is that what is attractive? (Reminds me of the old feminist arguement about high heels being attractive because they render women unable to defend themselves I.e. Run away)
What's everyone else's view on this?
(And it is a feminist issue because it's women doing it to themselves)
