I believed the possibility that a majority of these women were suffering from diseases and problems that were statistically 'correct' and not directly connected to implants. I figured these women had 'turned' on their implants after receiving criticisms from women in their lives (and possibly some men) and not getting 'better' men in their lives or more sex etc and then realized what a short-sighted choice it might have been. But now after the latest reports and anecdotal stories from women with ruptured implants I believe that many of these women surely do have implant-related diseases and injuries. Its still a shame that women and girls give in to the somewhat shallow view of physical beauty only, rather than the view of physical beauty as just the beginning of a relationship. Especially since you can almost always tell fake breasts from real ones, it really tells men 'look what I would do to myself just for your attention'. I wish your gender clarity and respect and self-worth of all levels. I love women the real ones not the altered shallow ones who think they deserve things just for having special parts. I also hope that someday the fashion and ad and enterntainment industries honest-up about true beauty and attraction.
