Oh, So, Now Y’all Like Natural Women, Huh?
The cap is rampant; let’s get into some things…
The untimely and very tragic death of Jacklyn “Jacky Oh” Smith has caused us all to rethink the culture we have created and the roles we’ve played within it. Before I dive into this topic, I want to clarify that I am in no way victim-blaming or shaming Jacky Oh. Personally, I believe women should do whatever they want with their bodies. Sure, I’m more on the natural side of things, but I am not one of those women who are angry or offended by other women getting surgery, enhancements, or anything else that makes them happy.
I am pro-woman in every form women come in. And women are too harshly criticized in virtually every aspect of society. So, whatever a woman wants to do to her body to please herself, is totally fine with me. However, I also want women to be honest with themselves (and others) about the pain and risks involved with these procedures. I fear that they’ve become so common that many don’t realize what they’re getting into until it’s too late. I think this is especially true when it comes to BBLs. Although we have undoubtedly seen the ugly side of this trend many times, they have become so common that you can almost grab one to-go from your local chicken shack.
Also, although I’m a devout womanist, I do feel for D.C. Young Fly and would like to avoid kicking…
