Insecurities

I came across a cleo magazine that 3 of chipped in for, we figured if we read the magazine we might as well chip in for it. and then i read about 'vaginoplasties', where women get a plastic surgery down there. I didn't even know that option existed. Are women of today really that insecure? Even vagina vanity came into existence?
I understand that people feel insecure about their bodies therefore try to get it in shape, and i also understand that if you have the money, why not? what i don't understand is why women come into that extent of thinking. It's funny really, I mean, I think i have small boobs, and i do feel insecure about it, but it doesn't ruin my way of living and it doesn't affect me as a person. It's just really shocking, and even if i had the money i wouldn't even think of getting a surgery. Why? because there's no point. I mean people will accept who you are if you accept who you are and if you deliver it well.
It made me come to thinking about all those years where people made me feel insecure about myself, may it be my boobs and my colour. That i wasn't white like all those other people, but whose to say what is beautiful? who's to say that 'white' is beautiful. People have come to the conclusion that what it considered beautiful is what's 'beautiful'. People's reality of beautiful have come from society getting used to what the media portray as beautiful. The second part of the cleo magazine is called ' CLEO BODY love the way you look' and this section of the magazine include sections like ' The meat backlash' which emphasizes the the women who become vegetarians are doing good to the world, and have become beautiful. Don't get me wrong i have nothing against vegtarians, but the hell man? 'The weight loss industry' ; 'What do skinny women eat?' ; 'One bite at a time ' ; 'The naked health check' show's a picture of a naked woman, with a leaf on her vadge, with lines drawn across her flaws along with those lines are criticisisms, the section totally reassures it's whole point!! " LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK " how can women love the way they look when these things are on it!? I just don't see the whole thing, it just contradicts the whole idea of making women feel better about themselves. And yet again this is just me trying to find something to do.
Many things differ to different women, i have friends who say they are fat, and their not, i try to explain the mechanism of genetics, where people are just born with a bigger frame than others. You can't just use Victoria Secret model as your goal. If i were to write what 'skinny people eat' and apply what i eat to the magazine, you will not believe me because although i eat as much as i want, i am still skinny. So things do differ for people. Another section of the magazine is "feel good and look better' hahahaha!!! I'll let you think about that.
People need to understand the concept of the media, the media is not their for you to feel bad about yourself and to say that this is what PEOPLE ACCEPT. They are merely there to advertise their goal is to make you feel bad so that you buy their product, therefore establishing an emotional appeal. "Call now and get it absolutely free!! your for free!!!" and you'll see this tiny little text in white that says, pay by credit card on 25 dollars.
Getting back to my whole point, people shouldn't feel bad for themselves, as long as you are healthy and feeling good then that's fine, im not saying that you can go out and eat as many greesy food and be obese, because obesity is just not healthy, and if i elaborate more on that, then it would be a complete different subject, making my post irrelevant.
I just wanted to post my view on this.
