Depression Is Not a Feminist Issue

Prager once said on his radio program that he thought it was a good idea for women to get plastic surgery to enhance body parts and tuck away that which droops over time in order to look better and feel better about themselves. For a man who has written artfully about happiness and finding happiness within yourself and thru faith I found that rather stunning and bordering on hypocritical. He thinks steroid use by athletes forces other athletes to take them in order to keep up. He sees no contrast between these athletes and women having to choose plastic surgery? No wonder women (esp. those who go under the knife to change themselves) feel depressed and poorly about themselves. Women are depressed because we have a lot on our plate and have to work an extra year to get our butts lifted, wrinkles snipped and our face botoxed into a frozen Stepford wife stare. Women voice their thoughts of depression. Men go out and buy a Vette or play with their model trains in the basement. Everyone gets depressed. OK I feel better. Venting DOES alleviate depression and pissiness.
