WHY ANGELINA JOLIE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER PRIVATE MEDICAL DECISIONS PRIVATE
I woke up at midnight last night.
It's been sweltering for two days.
Gracie was panting.
I put on the radio.
World News.
Angelina Jolie, famous actress, incredibly wealthy woman, with a couple international adoptions and natural born children, who got Brad, chose to have her breasts removed and replaced with - name the brand Angelina! - jiggly foam, molded rubber, squishy plastic, goddess knows what, same size, larger, smaller, because doctors told her she has a scary gene that elevates her risks way high up for breast cancer. Not said, next she will have her ovaries removed. She says this increases her chances of not dying on her children, like her mom did her.
WHY DID WE NEED TO KNOW THIS? Isn't anything personal? No, not when you are now trying to lead women into their own personal decisions about medical care, and what is EXTREME REACTION to a POTENTIALITY.
Why?
Because her surgery (she has little scars so they must have sucked her breast tissue out with one of those hoses they use for lipo?) was done "secretly" but then she got paid to reveal her secret in an OP ED piece. Now thousands of women will follow her lead, won't they?
Did the manufacturer of breast prosthesis pay for her surgery?
Her pictures, taken in the days before and after and since her surgery, some showing natural breast, some not, so guess! are splashed everywhere so you can goggle and decide if the breasts are missing or the same. You can look in her eyes and think "She looks pensive, in pain but on heavy meds, regretful, glad she did it, missing her nipple sensation at this very minute."
Angelena Jolie, the woman who has millions from acting in VIOLENT FILMS, films in which she kills as a charming sociopath or not, who feels nothing about killing, IS NOT A ROLE MODEL for the vast majority of women on earth.
SHE DOES LOTS OF THINGS BECAUSE SHE'S RICH AND CAN. (Most of us do not have those opps. Many of us DO NOT WANT THOSE OPPS.)
Angelina goes to a lot of war torn countries and places where women are raped as a matter of culture and because she is SO famous, beautiful, rich, and got Brad, these countries are supposed to have peace and stop rapeing.
By morning the news was ALL OVER THE WORLD. Angelina Jolie big BAD example of how to approach medical care for women. At a time when so many women have no health care at all and Obama Care is the OBAMA DEBACLE!
Now, you will be a BAD WOMAN, a bad cancer patient, if you do not do as ANGELINA LEADS.
Now you WILL NOT BE A GOOD MOTHER, because Angelina Jolie is not just a beautiful wealthy actress, who got Brad, but SUPER MOTHER, if you don't replace the tissue you were born with with jiggly foam, molded rubber, squishy plastic, goddess knows what, same size, larger, smaller...
We should feel guilty for going holistic, taking our chances that we'll get hit by a SUV whose driver is text messaging, not having children at all...
Don't think I'm insensitive to the Breast Cancer issue because I, like you, have lost people in my life to the disease, but LIVING FOR STATISTICS is, well, you may as well invest your quarters in Vegas. LIVING FOR STATISTICS is ABOUT AS DUMB AS LIVING FOR A RESUME!
When you read around the subject of breast cancer over the years you will read the pros and cons and the cons that used to be the pros and the prose that used to be the cons.
BREAST CANCER IS NOT JUST BIG BUSINESS it's BIG PUBLICITY. Be it all this "walking" and "running" for breast cancer, wearing pink bows on your lapel, or buying hideously pink (female branded = if you like blue you must be lesbian?) merchandise, scarves, shoes, jewelry, to "support the cause" for a "cure."
What if "the cure" is abortion of any fetus that carries the gene? (The ancient Greeks exposing female fetuses to the elements so they die. The ancient Chinese throwing first born females to their death rather than upset the family structure and selecting out female fetus's today because of one child policy that is forced and enforced? Indian women today using ultrasound to detect unwanted female fetuses and aborting them.) WHAT IF THE ONLY CURE IS DEATH?
