100 Men Own My Breasts

On BBC America, the show "100 Men Own My Breasts" follows women who are members on a website called MyFreeImplants.com. Interesting name right?

The idea behind this is that there are many women in the world who are dying to get breast implants and (apparently) there are many men who are willing to help pay for these new breasts. Unsurprisingly, this site was created by two men from California. Women post pictures and information about themselves and then communicate with the men in order to build relationships in order to get money. Basically less clothing equals more money.

The owners claim that no women have ever been turned away for being too ugly or too fat, but that it’s "survival of the fittest" on the sight. Because, of course, the whole motivation behind the sight was to improve women’s self-esteem and confidence. Right.

Maybe these women wouldn’t consider themselves so inadequate if they didn’t feel so much pressure to fit society’s perfect mold of beauty. Some may say it’s an easy way to fund implants, but to me it’s a sick way to exploit women as sexual objects that they are not.
