I was visiting the pretty opticians for about 2 months while trying to overcome the restless repulsion of a contact lens approaching my eye on top of the tip of my pointing-finger. It took me 2 months to get them in. That day and the next couple, of course, the pretty optician available had to assist me to take it out when the metallic shutters of the door were already half-way down. Months later, I could not help but notice that, although getting the lenses in was becoming easier, the process of taking them out was doubtless harder and got me strangely anxious. I started to hate the routine of spending 5 minutes to take the lenses out late at night before going to bed and, mostly, the weird palpitations I used to get. I have never been able to see properly with contacts anyhow and my eyes were often irritated. So, now, if the glasses bother me somehow, I just take them off and hang them on the top of the head or whatever, and prefer not to see neatly.
The only male optician in the store convinced me of the wrong principle of surgery to correct the prescription. I mean: if you don't really need it. His point was clear: via surgery, you burn something in the eye (so delicate!), an organ which is just a little flawed, but otherwise perfectly healthy. Do you want to burn something that is right? I say no.
Obviously, other people would say "why not". This morning in the tube I read the following: "Girls as young as nine are asking for vaginal cosmetic surgery on the NHS (...). Some 343 labiaplasties were performed on girls aged 14 or younger over the last 6 years". That accounts for an average close to 60 a year. The lead-in title of the information stressed the blame on "the porn-star chic" that Tory MP Claire Perry claims, and the Shadow Public Health Minister, Diane Abbott, "called for better regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry". (Both declarations came from women, noticeably).
However, surprisingly, what about the parents? The responsibility of parenthood is totally skipped, overseen by the pundits of the Governmental regime. Who else is to blame, if not the parents? I can guess that the 343 labiaplasties-achievers walked in the corridor of the operating room along their mothers or fathers or both... So?
It was a time when the role of the parents was to say "no" to their children, with or without reason, wasn't it?
