Brains VS Boobs [WTF Friday]

When I was 14, my mother pressured me to do a lot of things. I had to make my bed every morning, make it to class every day and make all A’s every semester. I did not, however, have to make my boobs bigger. And there were a few times that I tried to stuff my bra, but mom totally called me out and said I looked ridiculous. Thanks, mom. No really, I love you for that. Socks in a training bra don’t look or feel anything like real boobs.

Britney Marshal isn’t having the same experience. At 14, Miss Marshal is being pressured by her mother to get a boob job. Not by the immature and pubescent boys at school–her mother. It gets worse. Mama Marshall was quoted by Huffington Post saying:

“At the moment [Britney] doesn’t really have what I would say are boobs — but I’d like her to follow in her sisters’ footsteps… I really love the fake look of my girls, and I know Britney will go that way when she’s a bit older.”

WTF? Good lord. Who is this woman and why did someone allow her to procreate? She acts as if plastic surgery is some sort of career path. Britney’s family members describe her as the ‘brainy’ daughter, and blame her academic fervor for diminishing her desire to get plastic surgery. Which poses an interesting question. What will get you further in life: brains or boobs? It’s my natural inclination to err on the side of brains, because boobs shrivel and sag at a much more rapid rate. But do fake boobs live forever? There are many women in the world who are making a lot of money from their rack and have virtually no brain power.

Here’s a few women that made us think twice about the opportunity cost of integrity and what else we could be doing with our tuition money:

      It seems like you are really bitter. Have you met any of these women? How can you even tell that they aren't smart?

      I completely agree with Cissy. You can't comment on these women because you have no idea what they are really like. If they want to make money from their looks then who are you to judge them.

      Say what you like but BOOBS will always beat brains. On the other hand if you have both then you are unbeatable.

      Hey Cissy,

      Perhaps you're right. Maybe they just pretend to be idiots on television and in interviews as part of their master act.

      You sound really catty. I get the irritation but boy! Sure these girls/women have this image about them but the fact that some of them have kept in working for them to the extent it has shows cunning on their part. I wonder, what have they done to hurt you so badly for you to be so mean? This by no means constitutes a sense of humour.

      I agree with the writer of the article. So what if there is a hint of bittnerness here? I mean, it's true they are getting rich for being dumb and doing usless things. Pretty much all of these women are waists of space. With or without knowing what they are really like they are in the public eye. They are protraying the image that dumb and useless with a big set of boobies it the way a woman should be. That intllegence isnt worth a thing, and should that really be portrayed?

      Bitterness is completely valid when what a girl has worked for all her life (brains) is undermined by someone else's body. Personally, I've worked really hard for good grades, but no one (especially guys) appreciates me for it. It's insulting that I'm worth so little because I don't have huge boobs.

      They're not out there stealing your (our) jobs that we got with our brains. So how are they harming you? So what if they're dumb. You don't see men bitching about other guys who, say, work in Holister or work as male models. Being catty about these women brings you down to their level.

      They are not harming me personally, but I do believe that they are harming society as a whole. What about all of the young girls out there who see this and think, "As long as I have big boobs, I can be sucssful in life so why try at anything else?" Or the case in the article where a MOTHER would rather her daughter have breast implants than to be "brainy." And acually, guys do bitch about these people. One of my good guy friends once told me that his life was hard becouse he had to workout to make sure he could keep his sixpack so his girlfriend would be happy.

      I think you should spend thousands on a boob job and get into Harvard, Ally, just to prove a point. On the one hand, I would probably trade my so far useless algebra knowledge for an increase in cup size, but would also downgrade if I could have the brain of Sheldon Cooper.

      You aren't worth little because you don't have huge boobs. It might be for other things, but it isn't boobs. Maybe your ass? JK

      Does anyone else think it's funny that this person is calling people catty? Miaow. Miaow miaow miaow. Miaaaaaaaooowww!

      Say what you want, but I agree with Jenny. A mother shouldn't be encouraging her daughter to alter herself when she's fourteen. She's not even finished growing yet! Plus, if you go to the Huffington article, you'd see that Britney is a very beautiful and physically matured young lady already. Further, if you read a cited story from The Sun, there's a big picture with her mother and other sisters who's plastic surgery makes them look freakishly disproportional. Our society defines success on superficial levels and it obviously starts so early. It's reached the point where basic manners and communication "skills" are sought after traits when they should be expected. It's bad enough that everyone else is pointing out our flaws; we don't need our mothers to tell us too.

      But the thing is there are always going to be girls who make the wrong choices – there are always going to be guys who do the same. You can't police the media to protect these people. If that's the choice they make, then they'll make it. The mother in the article is ridiculous – that's for sure. But the daughter is mature and I'm sure that even IF she is (God forbid) forced to have the operation, she will build her career on her brain rather than her boobs.

      I once saw a feature about Brigitte Bardot, about how she got famous for being this beautiful bombshell. Later she did a lot of work for animal rights. I will never forget what this feature ended with (it was not English)
      "It seemed like the men could never really forgive her for getting old"
      That is outright the saddest sentence in the world

      Yeah, thats true. But it dosen't mean that I have to like it or that I should just accept it as is. I don't like it and I won't just accept it either.

      i think this article is more about a mother teaching her daughter that what's outside is more important than what is inside rather than anything bitter. In a society where outer beauty is becoming way too crucial, it's important that parents teach their children the right lessons and push the right values. Getting a boob job to improve looks is not what I personally consider a value or moral to live by.

    Tell us what you're thinking...
